Prayers for Our Student Ministry

Over the past few weeks, I have been reminded that prayer is not simply something we do before meals or in moments of crisis, but that it is the steady, faithful work of God’s people. This week, I want to invite you, church family, to unite in focused prayer around two specific areas where God is clearly at work among us: our students and the student ministry’s upcoming mission and summer trips.

First, let us pray for students and teachers as they continue through the school year. For students, pray for wisdom in decisions, perseverance in their work, courage to live out their faith, and friendships that encourage what is good and life-giving. Pray as well for students who may feel isolated, overwhelmed, or discouraged. Ask God to surround them with godly friendships, strong mentors, and a deep sense of belonging within the church and our Student Ministry. Pray that our students would develop a genuine love for Scripture, a growing desire for prayer, and a boldness to follow Jesus even when it is difficult.

Second, let us lift up our upcoming Guatemala mission trip, along with our summer trips to Falls Creek and the Junior/Senior trip. Pray for safe travel, clear planning, and unity among leaders and students. Ask God to prepare hearts now! Let their hearts be full of humility, teachability, and bold faith. For Guatemala, pray that our team would serve with compassion and sensitivity, and that the gospel would be clearly reflected through both words and actions. For Falls Creek and Junior/Senior trip, pray that God would use these experiences to deepen relationships, spark spiritual growth, and call students into greater obedience and trust.

May we be a church that believes prayer matters, not as a formality, but as a powerful means by which God shapes His people and advances His purposes!
