Please lift up all of the college kids and their families as they transition outside of their homes into their schools~ please pray for those families struggling with court documents and judgments, for those families struggling with diagnosis and finances~ please pray for husbands who are working to provide for their families and mommies who are praying for their children~ please pray for new baby Hermela and the pregnant women we have met this past week and the soon to be born babies across the city~ search our hearts oh God and remove any wickedness from us, as we continue with steadfast faith to preach your uncompromising gospel~ let us not deny YOU oh merciful God, but let us know you more! Please pray for our friend Amy's family, that they may find comfort in the Lord through their tragic and sudden loss, we lift them up to the Lord.
IN JESUS name,
AMEN.

If you have a loved one at a faraway college, encourage them to join the facebook group, COOKIES FOR COLLEGE KIDS~
We send them prayers, cookies, treats throughout the year with scriptures and pray for them as a team. We encourage you to bake or help with shipping costs~ and of course, pray without ceasing~ there are nearly two dozen college 'kids' that receive packages, and it's our hope that they will draw closer to the LORD and use their time at school to bring glory to GOD and be encouraged!
