In recent years it has become increas ingly clear that not even an Ivy League professor can solve the world’s problems of poverty, disease and war. Solutions need to come directly from heaven and God’s heart.
 
Many students are realizing this and laying everything of the world at Jesus’ feet and following Him in search of truth. We have seen what the world has to offer—and we are desperate to drink of heaven.
 
The church’s role is crucial in sustaining students’ journeys. Believers must come alongside us on our spiritual walks—and although lunch after church is great, that is not what I mean. We need people who will intercede and pray with us.
 
Churches that are reaching college campuses were not established haphazardly—they have a specific destiny that is interwoven with that of the college and its students. There are mothers and fathers in those churches who are meant to usher in destinies.
 
Please allow students to pour their hearts out in prayer for their colleges, churches and nations. Offer your home, church or office for students to pray. Share your gift of worship by offering to minister to students one night a week. Fast your lunch and pray with students in the college chapel. Speak and prophesy into their lives. Please support them with your compassion and wisdom.
