  • Pray that the young people’s hearts will be preserved for the Lord through this new school year, and that adequate shepherds will be raised up to care for each one of them in a practical and consistent way.
  • Pray that the young people will be seeds of the gospel in their respective schools, and that the Lord will continue to use them to shepherd their friends who came to the young people’s gospel meeting in the spring.  
  • Pray that the Lord will bring all the saints in the church into a life of shepherding, a shepherding that is universal, mutual and according to God.
  • Pray that the saints will get into the ministry in a regular, definite and consistent way, personally and with companions, using the resources available online.

The above are some of the current prayer burdens that the saints may bring to the Lord in their personal or corporate prayer; however, the saints should be exercised to follow the leading of the Spirit in their prayer.
