It’s been the kind of day that you wouldn’t wish on anyone here at Virginia Tech. Our campus has been shaken, but God is still our king.
As people are coping with the loss of so many members of our community, we want to take every chance that we have to lift our campus up in prayer. There’s a few specific things that we can pray for:
- The injured members of our community
- The families of those who have passed away, especially that people in their lives would be able to share the Good News with them while they’re more receptive
- That a tragedy like this one would not derail what God is doing on this campus. God is moving powerfully here like we saw two weekends ago, and a tragedy like this is no excuse to let Satan have the victory instead of God.
- Ministry opportunities as our campus heals to share the Good News with people who wouldn’t have cared at all 24 hours ago.
