“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.” -2 Chron 7:14-15
All of our efforts to reach this city and our campuses will be pointless unless God’s people commit themselves to prayer. In warfare terms, prayer is the aerial assault before the ground attack. It prepares the ground before the seeds are planted. But more importantly, it changes us! It aligns our heart with the Lord and makes us open to get His plans, not just for our lives, but for our campuses and our city.
Because of this, we are challenging the youth of our city to establish prayer groups on each campus, groups of 3 or more which will meet regularly for worship and prayer. If you are a student and would like to either start a prayer group or join an existing prayer group, please e-mail us at contactus@unitedfresno.com. As prayer groups are established, we will be posting their times and locations on unitedfresno.com
We also are going to have all-city nights of prayer and worship throughout this year. These will be nights for all of us to gather together to ask the Lord for our city and campuses. These nights will happen at both churches and on school campuses. The first All-City Prayer and Worship Night will be October 17 at 7pm in Ground Zero at Peoples Church. Hope to see you there!
“The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray…” -Luke 10:2
