On Thursday, comrades from across the country are arriving in Colorado Springs for a few days to pray together. I'm surprised by the stirring in my heart right now. These leaders represent thousands of teens. Please pray for our time together.
1. Pray that we are united around Jesus. It's easy to unite around similar occupations, creative methods and innovative ideas. There is nothing wrong with those things. Yet, I am believing for a time together where Jesus is what we talk about and the reason for gathering.
2. Pray that comparisons wouldn't appear. It's so easy for events like this to be filled with comparison and discouragement. That's the opposite of what we are aiming for. Pray for unity and camaraderie.
3. Pray for a spiritual awakening in America. May that be the heartbeat of our gathering. We need a genuine move of God in our student ministries across the nation.
Thanks for your prayers. Stories, ideas and initiatives from the prayer summit will be posted soon.
