THE
STRATEGIC PLAN
THE
PROBLEM
As you
read this, teenagers all over the United States are recovering
from hangovers, feeling guilty because they gave their bodies
away like candy last night, cutting themselves, desperately
longing for someone to love them, searching for hope and a
compelling future. Research says that only about 4% of this
generation will grow up to be Bible-believing Christians.
THE
ANSWER
We believe
that we need a major move of God in and through this generation.
Every
major move of God throughout history has been connected to
a prayer movement. Therefore, it is our mission and focus
to foster a prayer movement of adults praying for teens and
teens praying for teens that will touch the heart of God and
move His mighty hand to bring revival and awakening in and
through this generation.
WHY
PRAYER IN SCHOOLS?
Schools
are the center of most communities and the center of most
teenager’s lives. Our goal is to put prayer back in
the schools through teenagers who are willing to take a stand
for Christ and lead a prayer group.
Each prayer
group focuses on serving the prayer needs of the school by
praying for friends, classmates, teachers and administrators.
Groups will often send cards letting others in the school
know they are being prayed for.
IS
THIS LEGAL?
Yes. The
equal access law allows prayer groups in public schools as
long as they are:
1) student-initiated
2) student-led
Therefore,
our ministry helps teens throughout the United States start
and effectively run prayer groups in their schools. We also
cooperate with other existing school-based ministries organizations
to bring more of a prayer focus. |

Prayer
for the leaders and the prayer group is the most important
investment. Beyond prayer, the resources we create and
provide for our school prayer groups involve a large investment
of ministry time and money. [What we provide is listed below.]
Your investment
in a school prayer group enables us to provide them with everything
they need to successfully impact their school with a prayer
ministry.
We ask
churches or interested adults for a monthly tax-deductible
gift to adopt a school prayer group. We welcome gifts of all
sizes to support this expanding ministry. Gifts from churches
and individuals adopting prayer groups generally range from
$50 a month to $1,000 a month. Every gift is used for ministry
purposes.
