In 1906, it was birthed in prayer.

Through the years, prayer has undergirded its mission, guided its growth, and helped overcome its challenges.

As pressures continue to mount and new leadership is on the horizon, your prayers are more crucial than ever.

During the annual meeting of the Louisiana Baptist Convention last November, messengers voted to establish a day of prayer for Louisiana Christian University to be held on the first Sunday of February. This year, that first Sunday will be February 2.

LCU is supported by the Louisiana Baptist Convention. Over 14% of Cooperative Program gifts support the budget of LCU. Trustees are elected by messengers annually from our churches. LCU is OUR university and she deserves our full support and certainly our dedicated praying.

Would you consider dedicating time in your morning worship service on February 2 to pray for the ministry of LCU? Specifically, pray for high school students from our churches to consider making LCU their college choice. In addition, pray for the next president of LCU. Trustees have indicated they hope to call a new president at their February board meeting on Tuesday, February 25.

There are a number of ways you can participate in this emphasis including your choice of two videos you can show in your worship service. See more below.

However you choose to participate, may the Lord hear our heart’s cry for LCU to be a place of preparing graduates and transforming lives.
