Pray the Way into Urbana 03
A
Monthly Prayer Bulletin for
InterVarsity’s 20th Student Mission
Convention
June 2003
Please join us in praying for the Urbana Student Mission Convention which is now less than 200 days away. Below are some springboards to prayer this month.
- “Your Kingdom come, your will be done.” (Matt 6:10) Praise the Lord, that these words which are the theme and heart of the Lord's prayer have become the theme and heart of Urbana 03 as well. Pray that all of us who serve on Urbana Teams, as well as the student delegates, who will come, will grow in our understanding of God's Kingdom and our full submission to His Reign.
- “After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” (Luke 10:1-2) Call to the Lord of the Harvest for new workers in his fields. Pray for the students whom God is calling to Urbana 03 as a step on their way to a lifetime in the Harvest Field. Pray for a whole generation to be called into lifetime service in God's mission in the world. Pray for student teams who are preparing to go on short-term missions this summer. Pray for their responsiveness to God's call in their lives and ask God to shelter them in His good care this summer.
- “Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.” (Psalm 127:1) Ask God to direct the building of Urbana 03. Pray for the laborers who are working on the convention in these days- from the details of housing and transportation to the platform speakers who are preparing their messages. Pray that their work might bear much fruit in students' lives. Pray for the effectiveness of teams working together over geographical distances. Pray that our work may bring glory to God.
