Right from when Bill and Vonette Bright began Campus Crusade for Christ in 1951, prayer was an essential part of their work. Power to Change continues to believe in the power of prayer, which is why each month we’re presenting prayer requests from all of our ministries and partners.
Please be in prayer for our staff and volunteers, as well as the people they serve and minister to, as we help people know Jesus and experience His power to change the world.

Please pray for their safety and protection and that of the equipment as well.

JESUS Film Church Planting Strategy |
Pray for strength and wisdom for all our teams in the various countries that we are operating in. The work in Benin, Tanzania, Togo and Ethiopia is in conjunction with GAiN’s Water For Life Initiative and the others are in partnership with local partners.
Praise God, we are seeing tremendous fruit in the areas of church planting and ongoing discipleship with many people making decisions for Christ and wanting to be discipled. Please pray for the teams as they conduct discipleship training, pastors and lay leaders training and also provide resources and materials for ongoing discipleship.
In some countries like Ethiopia and Mexico it is getting increasingly difficult for our teams to operate because of ongoing conflicts or calamities – Please pray that these issues will get resolved and people will feel a sense of security and this would also enable our JFCPS teams to operate in relative safety.

Power to Change – Students |
For students who do not know Jesus, it can be hard to deal with failure, especially when it comes to grades. Please pray for students who find their identity in grades and success to discover that they are created by and loved by God.
For many students, May is the start of their break after the long Fall/Winter semesters. Please pray for Christian students who will be starting work terms and employment to pay for tuition. Pray that they will make meaningful relationships with co-workers that will lead to sharing the good news of Jesus and helping their co-workers discover Jesus.
At the beginning of May, we sent out over 200+ students and staff to mission trips around the world. Please pray for meaningful relationships to be built and a fruitful time in sharing the life transforming message of Jesus.
