Prayer request from Tim Sigman - Director of Prayer Initiatives - 200 years ago in 1823, nearly every major denomination and university across America united in prayer for our nation’s college students. Campuses were being radically transformed by powerful seasons of spiritual awakening. Today, churches and campuses across America are once again uniting in prayer for the next generation on college campuses. Join us for 40 days of prayer for revival and spiritual awakening starting January 19th and leading up to the Collegiate Day of Prayer on February 27, 2025. Go to the Collegiate Day of Prayer website to get the free 40 Day prayer guide. Join the live stream of the Collegiate Day of Prayer on 2/27/25. Pray with college students across the nation and around the world for a united, multi-generational day of prayer for revival and awakening on college campuses worldwide. This year the Collegiate Day of Prayer will take place at Texas A&M University. This is the largest campus in the nation with about 73,000 students. Please join me in praying for this major prayer event. I will be attending in person. Please let me know if you want to join me.

Prayer requests posted by Tim Sigman - Director of Prayer Initiatives These requests are from Stu Davis Executive Director of COSiloveyou Our students and ISI staff do service projects with this ministry in Colorado Springs. We want to bless them and Colorado Springs through our prayers. 1) Pray for favor with local elected officials and appointed leaders that we work with throughout the year; that they would see the value of the local Church as contributors to the flourishing of our city and its people. 2) Pray for unity in the local Church; that church leaders would move beyond territorialism and tribalism, and start seeing one another as partners in Gospel work despite our differences. 3) Pray for energy and wisdom in the next 2-3 months; we are planning a major event in March, after which I'll be headed out on sabbatical for 90 days. We need to be doing the right things now so we can enjoy the fruits later. 4) Lastly, and obviously, pray for the name of Jesus to be lifted high through His people in our city.

Southeast-Great Lakes Region Prayer Requests: Ed Germann RFD 1. Great need for new staff Directors to lead in Greensboro, NC; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Lakeland, Florida. How long, O Lord? 2. New staff who have not raised enough support which threatens their future with ISI. 3. Two new international staff who need visas to stay but have not yet received them. 4. Two veteran international staff who are having visa challenges which threaten their ability to stay. 5. Prodigal children of staff. The salvation of these adult "children" and the debilitating effects of their waywardness upon their ISI parents. 6. Good soil for the seeds of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to fall upon; the thorns of the world not choking out the new growth; fruit to be harvested and harvesters to pick the fruit. 7. Discouragement - tilling and sowing and watering and then looking and waiting for growth that only The Lord can bring. Pray for God-Given- Encouragement to those who have great need of it. 8. Energy! Folks are tired. Skies are winter gray. Lots of work behind the staff, lots of ministry ahead. May the staff and ISI volunteers have their strength renewed and run and not grow weary in well-doing!

For older people who have ministered internationals and now for physical or other reasons are no longer able to carry on a full ministry. I am now limited to Zoom calls ... nothing like sitting over a chocolate frosty in Wendy's ... but far better than what would have been available 10 years ago.

Upcoming prayer walks looking towards the summertime.
