What were you doing last night at midnight?

So, that is the question. What were you doing Sunday night at midnight? I suppose many or most of you would respond that you were sound asleep and maybe had been for some time. And I would have to agree that that would be the answer I would expect. In fact, there is a part of me that wishes I could respond in kind. But I learned a long time ago that being involved in ministry with college students completely squashes any hopes of ever getting in bed before midnight. It just won't happen.

So what were we doing last night at midnight here at The Well? We were gathering together with a small group of students to spend some time in prayer over our campuses and over what God is going to be doing this semester. We gathered together in the amphitheatre on the campus of ETSU and spent about an hour in prayer and worship together.

Let me share with you the things about which we prayed, and maybe you might join us during this semester as we continue to lift up these areas. We prayed in general for our campuses and for this semester. We prayed for professors, staff and students who do not have a saving relationship with Christ. We prayed for all of the other campus ministries who are attempting to reach students on all of the different campuses of our region. We prayed for the first series we are doing here at The Well dealing with issues of truth and the lies that Satan tries to sell us. We prayed for the call on students' lives to go out in to the world whether it is with us to China in May or anywhere else where the Lord may be calling them to faithfully go out.

Please join us as we continue to lift these things up to the Lord and ask for His sovereign hand to reign over them all. What an exciting way to begin the semester. On a beautiful, peaceful night, gathered in prayer, talking with the Lord.

by His grace,
The Well staff
