Ligon Middle

Not writing so much any more but things are great, God is really great. Wrote a prayer about Ligon. We just started Wyldlife at this middle school. Its really captured my heart. Would love your prayer for it, for the students, the staff, the parents, the community around it...that Christ is glorified, his love proclaimed.


Lord, I lift up to you Ligon Middle School. You love them. You love those 1500ish 6th-8th graders. Raise up your sons and daughters to invest in them and be a conduit of your grace. Pour your spirit out God. Thank you for the doors that you have opened. To be in the lunch room. To know some of the staff. To be friends with some of the students. To know their names and where they are from and what they want to be when they grow up. I know you are faithful to your promises. I know that you are worthy of glory and praise. We offer ourselves as living sacrifices. Committed to you. Committed to prayer for this particular school in this particular city where you will change lives and capture hearts. I pray that they get to see you this year, that they get to meet you. If it is us, we praise you. If it is elsewhere, we praise you. We will just keep loving on them, keep showing up, keep praying. Bring more people lord. More Christians. God, we need parent support. We need parents to know who we are and our intentions and our hearts. We don’t know how to know parents but you do lord and you know the ones who already know you and want their kids to know you and have been praying for people like us in the lives of their kids-show us those moms and dads. Lord, there are teachers who are Christian and we don’t know who they are but show us lord. God, don’t just change the hearts of students, change parents. Change teachers. Bring life out of death. Light out of darkness. Bring the weight of glory to Ligon Middle School. Bring kids together who never interact-break the stereotypes, the cliques, the judgments. God we beg you for favor. We may seem weird to them, but change their hearts to see us as friends. People who are for them. People who value them. But most of all, God, let them see you. Let them see the light of the glory of your Son. Let them see that life is in him, life to the full. Let us see it too God. We so easily forget. I love you, God.
