Battleground for Schools [PrayerSaturated.school]:

I still remember the first time I heard about what was really happening in our Arizona schools. I didn't know that teachers used their own money to buy students essential clothing like underwear, or that schools didn't have the resources to maintain buildings. I had no idea that teachers gave out canned goods on Fridays so that kids could eat over the weekend. I didn't know about the number of students who were homeless, struggling academically, overdosing on drugs, or attempting to take their own lives. Even the churches right next door to these schools knew nothing about what was going on inside those walls!

So when four young men—Mike, Matt, Jon, and Keith—showed up at our ministry offices to ask if we would help them with an initiative to pray inside the schools of Arizona, I knew it was a God assignment! We all heard the Lord say the same thing: "Invite My transforming presence into the schools."

We began meeting with the principals of targeted schools. One of the first things we did when meeting with principals was to ask forgiveness for not taking time to find out the needs of their school. We said we were sorry for not praying and doing what we could to meet their school's tangible needs. Then we asked them how we could pray for their schools. I remember sitting in the office of one principal and asking him, "What is the biggest problem your school faces?" He broke down in tears. "That's an easy question to answer," he said. "There's no hope here!" We knew God wanted to change this!... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
