Ask God to bring students and scholars with open and receptive hearts (“Persons of Peace”) to upcoming events and home group fellowships to build relationships and open conversations about Jesus. Pray for discipleship opportunities for believing students to reach out to fellow international students/scholars and grow in their faith. Lift up a Middle Eastern student that one of our leaders knows who has begun a Bible study with one of ISI’s volunteers. Pray that the Holy Spirit would make his word come alive and for Jesus to reveal himself so that she may call upon him as Lord. Intercede for protection from the enemy and for seeds that have been planted to bear fruit.

For God's healing of Julie's sleep apnea that has so far not been successfully treated.

That all ISI staff, teams and families will have health, strength and wisdom for navigating winter weather, prayer walks and travel and for wise perseverance in spiritual warfare.

Tim Sigman - Director of Prayer Initiatives - My praise is that God filled this entire week of 24/7 prayer and then He proceeded to fill it to overflowing. Thank you Lord Jesus for what you are doing among us and through us in these days.

Please pray with me for the Lord's abundant provision for one of our Christian Nigerian students. She has not yet paid for her tuition for last semester and is $6K short! If she's not able to pay it within the next week or two then she won't be able to register for this semester which started today! God is using Ri in amazing ways and has strategically placed her in two jobs where she works with all incoming and returning students. She is also one of our student leaders here in Colorado Springs!

Pray for current and new volunteers to prioritize International student ministry in their already busy schedules. Also pray for local church vision for ISM and to participate and take leadership in the Lakeland work.

Pray for God to bring new staff and/or volunteer leadership to Lakeland to replace me as I transition to a new status soon.

Pray for salvation of key students at Florida Polytechnic University in Lakeland, FL. Pray for the Spirit to be poured out on all 3 ministries at work on that campus to be bold in presenting the Gospel clearly and winsomely to students.

Give thanks that the Philadelphia Ministry has completely outgrown the Newbranders home, The House for all Nations. Pray for the Newbrander’s as they prepare the home to sell, as it is too much house for them now that it is not a ministry hub. Pray that believers would buy the house and continue being salt and light in this neighborhood. Pray that the Lord would strategically locate the Newbranders in a downsized home for continued ministry with internationals. Thank the Lord for this miracle home. Pray that we this year we would specifically see fruit from the many seeds that we have sown in Philadelphia. Pray for breakthroughs especially with Indian students.

Pray that the snow predicted for Friday is orchestrated by the Lord not to interfere with our first back to Friday night get together. Pray that students will clearly hear the gospel this semester and respond. Pray for two back to back ISM conferences in March in Philadelphia, that the Lord will restore and refresh and renew ISM workers both in Isi and in the region. Thanks for the generosity of a supporting church, local partnering churches and a number of donors who are helping underwrite a number of costs for the conference, so that it is affordable for more people.

Pray that the Lord will raise up a new city Director, for New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. Praise God for amazing healing, far faster than the doctors anticipated, for Tim Newbrander after major cardiac surgery. Praise for a wonderful partnership with several local churches and Bridges staff, including many students who went to the vision conference sponsored by Bridges.

For a volunteer's great granddaughter to be placed in Christ filled home soon.

Pray for the 9,000 int'l students from 125 countries at Rutgers University. Pray for the part-time staff and min rep at Rutgers to be fully funded and that they would have what they need to lead and invest in students. Pray for people of peace and leaders to be raised up to reach and disciple students. Pray against the spiritual darkness on that campus.
