Tech Campus Prayer Walk

We are just a few weeks away from Ruston becoming a busy town.  Dorms open September 3 for students to begin moving in at Louisiana Tech.  This evening at First Baptist Ruston we had a Louisiana Tech campus Prayer walk/drive.  I put the /drive there because almost the minute we were heading out a large thunderstorm moved through the area.  In my mind we would gather into groups and pray right there in the sanctuary for Tech students.  That would have been great, but that was not enough, people formed groups and headed for their cars.  They drove to the designated areas they chose and began praying for the tech students and faculty that would soon be present.  Every part of campus was occupied by someone praying. It was pouring down rain and lightning and they went out.  Christina and I drove through campus after everyone had left and we noticed vehicles parked all over campus that we knew were members of First Baptist Ruston praying for Tech students.  I did not get a count but there seemed to be well over 50 church members there to pray.  I thank God for a church that loves and supports college ministry.  Tech students, know that you are already being prayed for and our hearts are growing bigger for you.  We cant wait for school to start.
