Washburn University
Prayer Walk
We invite you to join us on Saturday, August 20th as we pray for the Washburn campus and community at the beginning of another school year.
Meet us at 17th and Boswell in front of Morgan Hall at 10am to get a prayer map of the campus. You will have the next hour to walk the campus and pray (or drive through the campus and pray) for the 6000 students who will call Washburn home this year.
Join us in prayer for the people who will soon be on Washburn’s campus. Above is a map of the route for the prayer walk. We have also included scripture and specific points to pray for over each area. But this time is between you and the Lord so feel free to pray for whatever God has placed on your heart regarding the students at Washburn.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. -1 Corinthians 5:14
