Lord, we continue to pray for favor on every campus and open doors everywhere. People are hungry for goodness & truth! You are working! You, Lord, are the Lord of the harvest & the harvest is so ripe! Raise up new staff, new volunteers to meet the need! Give us boldness & courage, discernment, wisdom, creativity & boundless love for those who are in bondage to the evil one!

Today again, I lift up the all the preparations to welcome students! I pray for the volunteers needed to provide airport rides, help students to get settled & find their way, for all the preparations for the Welcome parties & orientations. Lord, may Your Spirit of love be felt by the students in Lakeland & on every campus. I pray that even now spiritual interest & Gospel conversations would take place! Bring those students YOU have already prepared to hear the Gospel to us! Only You can save!

"Ask, and it will be given to you, seek..knock..For everyone who ask, receives...If you then...know how to give good gifts to your children, how much MORE will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask!" LORD, give us faith to keep on asking & not give up, trusting in Your goodness & faithfulness! For Your glory!

LORD God, You alone are worthy to receive all honor, glory & praise! I come to You this morning with my whole heart, asking You even to "unite my heart to fear Your Name". You know me & how easily I stray & get distracted; forgive me, cleanse me, "let the bones You have broken rejoice" in Your salvation! You alone can save us & empower us! I worship You. I trust You. I rest in You & who You are!! Guide my prayers this morning that You might accomplish Your purposes through the work of ISI.

To finish meeting with every church and ministry in the area for prayer for international students

Students hearts to hear and accept and grow in the truth,love, and grace of Jesus! For our priorities and partners to be aligned in what that looks like for our part in that.

Pray for a great mobilization of the Church for the nations. Pray that all of our under-supported staff will experience a powerful outpouring of God's blessing and financial provision, so that money will not be a hindrance to their ministry. Pray that God will be tested and proved as our Provider, that He would open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing until there is no more need. (Malachi 3:10)

Pray for our Lake trip with international students on 9/20. Please pray for safety, fun, and that we will be able to build great connections with new students!

Pray for a 1-year internship program that we are designing in partnership with a local church to provide opportunity for recent college or high school graduates to serve with ISM ministries. The idea is for the church to send interested young adults to build relationship with international students, lead Bible studies, 1o1 discipleship, etc.

Please praise God for our volunteer team who has been so faithful over the years serving ISM at NOVA. Please pray for new volunteers as some of our core volunteers have recently moved away. We just visited a church to recruit volunteers, so pray that there will be interest for new people to join!

Jesus, would you teach us how to pray for our international brothers and sisters from the nations? For those who do not know you yet? Or leaders and fellow servants? Please fulfill your promise, Spirit, to pray when we do not know how. We need you.

The wife of one of our Philly volunteers has stage 4 cancer—pray for wisdom going forward, for a miracle of healing, for comfort, provision and hope.

Wisdom, faith, favor as I work on PD using Tailored coaching. Please also pray for new city director for Philadelphia.

Wisdom as we seek to start a new ISM at Wilmington University in New Castle Delaware. Pray for open doors/minds/hearts as I reach out to various administrators. Pray for contact with new students and fruit from a person of peace we have at WU.

We are having a Labor Day Picnic (9/1) for international students from universities all over the St Louis area. Please pray for everything to honor our LORD and to bless the students, for all the plans to come together (lots of moving parts), for enough food for 250 students and volunteers and for good weather..
