What to Pray for On Thursday

Posted by National Campus Office :: 9:36 pm

The staff at Virginia Tech have asked us to specifically pray for the following things:

  1. The families of the students who were killed
  2. The students who were injured and still in the hospital
  3. Four students that were involved with Campus Crusade were killed. Please pray for their families and friends.
  4. Survivors of the shootings who witnessed the horrors of that day. Pray for God’s grace and comfort
  5. Pray for wisdom for the CCC Staff and other campus ministers and pastors as they seek to counsel and love the hurting students

A Call to Prayer

Posted by National Campus Office :: 10:08 am

In times like these we desperately need God - we need God to meet with us, to comfort us, and to give us perspective. We need to look heavenward to the One who can give grace and pour out His mercy in our time of need.

In view of this, the leadership of Campus Crusade for Christ invites you to join together sometime this Thursday in a concerted gathering to call on God. Perhaps you could invite others in your community to join together with the staff, students, alumni, and laypeople throughout our country to call on the Lord to work in this very difficult situation.

I also think it would be an incredible testimony and blessing to the Virginia Tech community to know there has been such an outpouring of love demonstrated by prayer.

So if God is leading you to join us, would you mind leaving a comment to let us know that you are joining us in prayer? Would you let us know the location (city, state) you will be praying and leave an encouraging note for our Campus Crusade for Christ community at Virginia Tech?
