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 college’s inaugural class of students, that the Lord would prepare their hearts and minds for upcoming studies.
- ...for new faculty hires, including Rev. Jacob Benson, that the Lord would lead other talented and faithful workers to Luther Classical College.
- ...in thanksgiving for the healing granted to Samuel Preus’s wife, Rachel, through her successful cancer treatment.
- ...for wisdom for generous Christian donors as they search for worthy missions that advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and for the necessary funds to meet 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.
- During Trinitytide:
Defend Thy truth, O God, and stay
This evil generation;
And from the error of its way
Keep Thine own congregation.
The wicked everywhere abound
And would Thy little flock confound;
But Thou art our Salvation.
