Campus Prayer Strategies • Here are some effective prayer strategies to use. Don’t limit yourself to just one strategy. Incorporate as many as you can. • Private Prayer: Devote some time each day to pray for your school and your unsaved friends. • Student Prayer Partner: Join with another campus missionary or Christian Friend who will pray with you for your school and your unsaved friends on your prayer list. • Adult Prayer Partner: Ask a Christian adult at your church to become your prayer partner for your school. • Prayer Walk: Do an occasional prayer walk around your school. (Keep your eyes open!) • Classroom Praying: Choose a desk or chair that is not on the side, back or front rows.
