I got to lead a group of folks on a prayerwalk around Beaver Stadium, the Bryce Jordan Center, and the football building tonight. As we approach Calvary on Campus (9/25, 10:30 at the Eisenhower Auditorium) Calvary folks are going to be walking and praying all over campus. It was a great night!
The rain might have skeered some folks away, though it was mostly a bluff tonight. We had a smaller group than I had hoped for. But the truth is that God isn’t more praised–nor is he more impressed–when we have a large group show up for anything.
There were several people from my lifegroup (yes, the very best lifegroup on the planet!) along with a few people that I met for the first time tonight. I never know how folks are going to feel about praying out loud in front of strangers, or praying in front of the people who are passing by. Turns out that I had nothing to worry about.
Our prayerwalk was good! People prayed with hope and faith, asking God to move in the lives of the people on campus and in our community. We prayed for several specific groups, and some of the prayers were absolutely filled with insight, almost prophetic. It was a good night. One of the highlights for me was having Levi along with me. He had Spanish homework to do when we got home, but he said that this prayerwalking adventure was good for his faith!
Now on to the confession:
Our first stop on our prayer walk was right across the street from Paternoville. Matt prayed for the PSU students who camp out there each week (this week Bama comes to town) but I think I might have missed a God-moment.
I’m pretty sure that we should’ve asked the students if we could pray for them. I have no idea what might have happened, but I know that I missed an opportunity at Paternoville. I may have to go back tomorrow…
We didn’t do wrong by praying across the street from the students, but I wonder if God didn’t have something else in mind.
If you want to join me in prayerwalking the campus, shoot me a note. I’d love to have the company! And there are other groups praying each day at different parts of the campus. Here’s a link to more info.
And of course, you’re invited to join us Sunday, September 25, at 10:30am at Eisenhower Auditorium for Calvary on Campus, a joint worship service for all of Calvary’s gatherings!
