UCI, Biola, Vanguard, Concordia, Saddleback…these are the names that have been filling many of my prayers recently. September is bittersweet at sovgraceoc…we say goodbye to students going off to college while, at the same time, welcoming a growing number of students into the life of our local church.
But for every young brother or sister who visits us this month, I fear there are many more (like way more) who will put their relationship with the church on hold while school is in session.
Kevin DeYoung has done a great job illustrating the situation in his adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s Screwtape Letters. Take time to read what he wrote and then please join us in fasting and praying for them.
This Friday our prayers will focus on the college students returning to campuses across Orange County. UCI, Biola, Concordia, Vanguard, the community colleges…the list is long. Let’s pray for a plat form to proclaim the Truth to them, grace to welcome them into our church, and wisdom to equip and care for those God sends us. Pray for open doors and relationships with school faculty and administration. May God use us as He works among the Universities!
