After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Prayer Requests
UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES
Students at each of the universities where Christian Union serves are well into this semester's study of Colossians. Please pray that these students would discover more deeply that in Christ, the powers of darkness were defeated and His conquering power is now available to them! Also pray that they might truly "walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving."
CITY MINISTRIES
Please pray for tonight's "Finance & Faith Forum," in partnership with The King's College and Gordon College. Pray for an evening rich in ideas, vision and faithfulness as attendees discuss what it means to be a Christian in the financial services world — how to be faithful, to flourish, and to be redemptive in that space.
DAY & NIGHT
Pray for a renewal of Christian devotion in America. Pray that the upcoming Great Experiment — to be held Nov. 1-10 — will help believers around the US walk in the power of the Spirit. Seek God to discern if you should join, and whether you should invite others to participate with you. Learn more via the link above.
