WEEKLY PRAYER SHEET 10/08/2017
Battleground for our Schools Powerful Results When God’s People Pray It doesn’t have to be pointed out the challenges our schools face beyond the physical and financial needs. They desperately need the healing power of Jesus. Secular institutions can’t solve a spiritual and moral crisis or give kids what they need most: an encounter with the Lord. That is where the church can be salt and light. Praying Biblical Declarations over the School Campus: •
Lord, shine your light upon my school and drive out all darkness (spiritual blindness, perversion of truth, and hostilities toward You). Ephesians 6:18-20
•
I declare that by the power of Jesus Christ this campus is a suicide, drug, and promiscuity free zone! Spirits of death, depression, oppression, and hopelessness have no place on this campus, in Jesus’ Name. I declare that students will be filled with God’s life and truth and will walk in His ways. Colossians 1:13
•
Mighty God, in Jesus’ Name, I declare that ungodly gangs, crime, violence, and all other illegal activities will have no place within the boundaries of my school or this neighborhood. Isaiah 60:18
•
Father God, be exalted in my school. Release Your salvation to permeate every person that comes upon this campus. Matt. 9:37-38. Raise up strong and godly leadership within all the campus clubs in my school. Bless my school’s Christian club and cause Your Kingdom to be advanced in and through it! Advance Christian prayer on this campus and open doors of opportunity to creatively share the gospel.
1 Corinthians 16:9; Ephesians 6:18-20 We’d love to pray for you! Update our online prayer chain by going to easthaven.org. Click resources, then prayer. Click on share your prayer request and fill out the form.

PROPOSED GLACIER BIBLE COLLEGE DORM You probably see it in the news almost every day. The Church in America is losing its youth. Young people are trading in their Bibles for a culture without Christ. The foundation of their faith has been broken. More than two thirds leave the church at college age. Glacier Bible College will prepare students to see the world around them through the truth of God’s Word. Each student will gain an intense year of training and discipleship, restoring their confidence and faith in the Word of God. In May we, as a church family, voted to raise $200,000 and establish Glacier Bible College. Your giving towards this ministry will make it possible for young people to gain a firm foundation in Biblical Truth, so that they can enter the world following Christ with every step.
