  • Posted by Tim Sigman - Director of Prayer Initiatives - Thai Lam Director of Collegiate Day of Prayer will be sharing on our Zoom Prayer Call Saturday evening. This is world's largest prayer event for College Students. When Julie and I attended CDOP at Asbury two years ago almost million people watched the live stream and joined in prayer. I think this might be one of the best ways to get your Christian international students excited about prayer for their campus and for the world. Please join me in praying that Thai's sharing will help many of our staff team to be moved to join the Collegiate Day of Prayer live stream with their staff, volunteers and students on Feb. 27, 2025, 7:00 PM CST. - Lord we pray that college students all over the world will be moved, inspired and empowered by the Holy Spirit to become powerful prayer warriors. Raise up Gen Z to become a praying generation who seeks after You with all their hearts. We ask this in Jesus mighty name, Amen!
  • Posted by Tim Sigman - Director of Prayer Initiatives - Many of our team are dealing with difficult health issues. On Sunday evening Jan. 19th 6-7 PM MST we will have a Zoom Prayer Call to celebrate communion led by ISI President Seng Tan, and to also pray for healing. Please join me in praying for a release of God's healing power over our ISI family. Prayer for healing is a mystery. I have seen God heal people in response to prayer and I have seen many prayed for who didn't receive healing. But the Bible is very clear that God invites us to pray for healing, so that is what we will do on Sunday. If you want to receive prayer for healing please join us for the Zoom Prayer Call. Jesus you healed many people as you walked the earth. Jesus we ask for your healing hand to touch the lives of our ISI family members dealing with difficult health issues and bring them healing. Jesus we ask this prayer in your mighty name for you are our healer and by Your wounds we are healed, Amen!
