Beyond the Day of Prayer & Fasting
At SC24, we listened to God through prayer, engaged Scripture, saw what God was and is doing across our movement and had time to connect and grow with one another. After SC24 we want to continue to press into what God did and is doing. On this page you will find additional prayer resources that you can use beyond SC24.
May the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26

Immanuel Prayer Ministry
Immanuel Prayer Ministry emphasizes the Lord’s encounter with the “guest”, rather than depending on the gifts of the “host” or pray-er. It is powerful and relatively easy to learn to do this. If you want to learn to do this with one another and with students, InterVarsity’s Spiritual Foundations department will be offering online trainings in Immanuel Prayer Ministry this winter:
- Immanuel Introduction “simple”: January 23, February 12, February 28
- Immanuel Introduction “deep” (addresses trauma): February 29 – March 1
- For further details & to register contact Peter.Horton@InterVarsity.org

Guided Prayer Walk
Walking while praying is one way to use our whole body as we pray. You can expect the walk to take 35 minutes and travel through some key places (virtually) and issues that face college campuses today. If you enjoy doing this walk here in Orlando, feel free to bookmark this recording and do this prayer walk when you get home.
