For Those Training Future Pastors and Teachers
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for the educational institutions responsible for training current and future generations of called workers. You have blessed so many congregations and classrooms with those who have been trained in our academically challenging and doctrinally faithful ministerial education schools. Provide the continued financial support and resources to allow these institutions to function and serve for many generations to come.
Thank you also for the professors and teachers devoted to training and equipping future pastors and teachers. Reward them for their faithful work and bless them by allowing them to see the fruit of their labor as those who once sat in their classrooms end up teaching in classrooms and preaching from pulpits of their own. Establish solid and supportive relationships between colleagues, accompanied by the joint desire to grow spiritually and professionally in their ministry. Lead their students to respect them and be eager to learn from them both academically and through their personal ministry experience. Fulfill them in their callings and make them aware of the difference they are making not only in the lives of their students, but also in your kingdom.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
