We had over 600 people join us in Campus Outreach’s 24 hour worldwide prayer chain! It is clear that God was glorified by so many people from so many places taking time to join together and lift up the nations! We trust He will continue to do a mighty work in and through our ministry from years to come. Here are a couple of the best quotes from the day of global prayer!

• “One supporter in her 80s said she had been praying for CO “since Frank Barker started the ministry”.  Amazing!  Honor to pray with her!”

• “God is sovereign over this Pandemic and can still work in spite of the many obstacles. But the gospel cannot be stopped. When God has called you He will draw you to Himself even in the midst of isolation or lockdown”

• “Even though we are more isolated than ever we are more unified than ever as well! It’s like you are in my room with me right now praying.”

Friday - “24 on 24” Worldwide Prayer Chain

Joshua 21:45 - “Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.” Pray that the Lord will remember His promises and we will trust wholly in them

Eph 4:11-16 - God would be bringing each of us to maturity and developing His Church through this season.

2 Thessalonians 3:1 - “Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you,” Pray that the work God has already done in and through CO would continue to move in a mighty way

Matthew 9:37-38 “Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Pray that the Lord would send out laborers into the harvest- and that even some of those laborers would come from this Zoom call!
