Pray for GBUT Togo as they work at setting up a cell programme in 2012 in various residential areas that will allow friends and supporters of the movement to function locally. Pray this initiative would help expand the existing friends and donors network throughout the country in order to strengthen the work among students

Pray for InterVarsity USA staff and students as they seek to minister to art students around the country. ‘Imagine the young artist who embraces the cross and comes alive, for the first time, in the arms of her heavenly Creator... And when this new self sets the imagination to work... Something powerful will happen.’ (Rick Mattson, apologetics specialist and advisor to InterVarsity’s arts ministry.) More insights from Rick on the InterVarsity blog at http://bit.ly/tKNQah.

This week an IFES staff worker is travelling to a country in the Persian Gulf to explore the possibility of relaunching a student movement there. Pray as he meets with a local volunteer to plan for the future, and that good contacts would be made with local churches and students during this visit. (February 14-21)

Give thanks to God for raising up a local leader to take over the position of Central Asia Coordinator. This is the first time that someone local has had this post. Pray for the staff team as they adjust to his leadership, and for his supervision until he officially assumes the role in June.

Pray for staff in Malta as they try to make the most of opportunities to reach out to students on campuses, through conversations, events and Christianity Explained courses - pray that they would find in the Bible many of the answers to their questions. Pray also for a spirit of power, love and discipleship amongst the few Christian students there.

Daily Prayer Guide

saturday: families and friendship

Many students come from broken homes, or from homes alien to the gospel. Family relationships have a bearing on our whole lives. Pray for reconciliation where that is needed. Sexual purity is one of the biggest battlegrounds on the campus. Pray students will find good friends - perhaps in church - with whom they can talk when they need to. Pray new Christians will know God's grace and find strong and wholesome friendships.
