Cape Town has 200,000+ university students, and most do not have the skills and support to navigate spiritual, social and academic pressures of a secular university campus. Many come from nominally Christian or post-Christian families that practice ancestral worship. Campus Outreach partners with the local church, Union Chapel, and the Presbyterian & Reformed Church of South Africa denomination to mobilize students and provide opportunities for vocational ministry training so they might serve as pastors and missionaries in the future. James leads and shepherds the student ministry team, and Kelly meets with team members and focuses on member care.
- Pray for Christian students on campus to encourage one another and multiply efforts to reach their fellow students with the gospel.
- Pray for 20 professions of faith, largely through student leaders taking ownership of multiplication efforts.
- Pray for students to have a vision for missions, particularly through the Southern Africa Network, the Khula Project (a program where students receive intensive training in Christian leadership and development), the Cross Cultural Project, and potential service projects.
- Pray for Luke, Nathan and Samuel and for James and Kelly to have wisdom in parenting.
- Pray they will walk closely with Jesus as individuals and as a family.
- Pray for wisdom in caring for and relating to family back in the U.S., particularly parents as they are getting older and face increasing health `challenges.
