Luther Classical College appreciates any and all support we receive, be it a donation of money, advertisement, a donation of time and talent, or any other support. Above all, though, we ask that you would pray for us. Our Father in heaven has promised that He would hear our prayers and answer them. Further, we believe that by prayer, the greatest of things can be accomplished. Luther writes:
What do you think has accomplished such great results in the past, parrying the counsels and plots of our enemies and checking their murderous and seditious designs by which the devil expected to crush us, and the Gospel as well, except that the prayers of a few godly men intervened like an iron wall on our side? Otherwise they would have witnessed a far different drama: the devil would have destroyed all Germany in its own blood. Now they may confidently ridicule and mock. But by prayer alone we shall be a match both for them and for the devil, if we only persevere diligently and do not become slack. For whenever a good Christian prays, “Dear Father, thy will be done,” God replies from on high, “Yes, dear child, it shall indeed be done in spite of the devil and all the world.” (LC: Of Prayer, par. 31-32)
Therefore, we ask that you would pray for the work being done at Luther Classical College. Included on this page are specific petitions that we will update seasonally based on the work we are doing at that time.
Let us pray...
- ...in thanksgiving for the tremendous number of students admitted by our college during admissions, that the Lord would prepare their hearts and minds for upcoming studies.
- ...for new faculty hires, including Rev. Joshua Hayes, that the Lord would lead other talented and faithful workers into the mission of Luther Classical College.
- ...for longsuffering and strength for Samuel Preus and his family as Rachel continues her battle with cancer after the birth of Rose Anastasia.
- ...for wisdom for generous Christian donors as they search for worthy missions that fully advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and for the necessary funds in meeting LCC's capital and operational needs.
- ...for Lutheran education at all levels, especially our synod's universities and colleges, that God would bless those who teach and those who learn, and that our young people would grow in their devotion to Christ by a fitting prayer life and godly passion for historical Lutheran worship, increasingly treasure Christian values, and excel in good works and love for sharing the Gospel.
- During Easter:
Almighty God, merciful Father, since you have wakened from death the Shepherd of Your sheep, grant us your Holy Spirit that we may know the voice of our Shepherd and follow Him that sin and death may never pluck us out of your hand; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever, Amen.
Lord God almighty, who is more eager to give than we are to ask, we thank you for your endless generosity and all the answered prayers regarding our college. We especially praise you for the purchase of our first Academic building and chapel and all the financial gifts from your faithful servants who support LCC. May we use this space for the glory of your holy name as we worship you in sprit and truth, educate the young people entrusted to our care with teaching that if fully aligned with your Holy Word, and the spread of the Gospel to those who sit in darkness and yearn for the light of Christ, who is the saviour of the world. In Jesus name, Amen.
