 -  -  91


MISHAWAKA– Bethel held their col­le­giate day of prayer on Thurs­day, Feb. 24. Through­out the day, there were dif­fer­ent events tak­ing place in Shiloh for stu­dents to at­tend.  

An email, sent out by Stu­dent Life, en­cour­aged stu­dents to take part in the events and de­scribed the day as a “multi-gen­er­a­tional day of prayer for re­vival and awak­en­ing on col­lege cam­puses in Amer­ica.” 

There was a sun­rise ser­vice for stu­dents to at­tend at 7:00 a.m.; a time for stu­dents to meet and pray for Bethel and other col­leges in In­di­ana at 11:00 a.m.; a time for stu­dents to meet and pray for col­leges around the world at 5:00 p.m.; and an evening wor­ship ser­vice to con­clude the day at 9:50 p.m. Stu­dents were also per­mit­ted to write down their prayers and hang them around the Shiloh Prayer Chapel. 

Also in the email from Stu­dent Life, Mat­tew 9:36-38 was shared with stu­dents, en­cour­ag­ing prayer: “The har­vest is plen­ti­ful, but the la­bor­ers are few. There­fore pray...” 

Even if stu­dents could not at­tend the events, they were en­cour­aged to par­tic­i­pate sep­a­rately through prayer any­time through­out the day.
