Collegiate Day of Prayer

By Lillian Penner

Join us today, for a united, multi-generational day of prayer for revival and awakening on college campuses in America or your country. To learn more, listen to a short podcast at https://collegiatedayofprayer.org.

My husband and I have four grandchildren in college; we have adopted San Jose State University to pray for this year and Biola University, where two attend, and one attends Clackamas Community College.

Christian Grandparents Network has developed a special prayer card with Scriptures and Suggestions to pray for college students, which I am sharing with you.
