Synopsis

Prayer has always been the first ministry of every

faithful shepherd.

Before a chaplain preaches a sermon, leads a chapel

service, comforts a grieving student, encourages a

discouraged professor, advises a president, or

welcomes a new freshman, he must first kneel

before God. Throughout my years of pastoral

ministry and now as Senior Chaplain of Wheaton

College, I have become increasingly convinced that

the greatest gift a chaplain can give a Christian

campus is not simply biblical instruction, thoughtful

leadership, or excellent programming—it is faithful,

biblical intercession.

This book was born out of that conviction.

When I arrived at Wheaton College, I quickly

realized that this remarkable institution is much

more than classrooms, residence halls, and

administrative offices. It is a living community of

believers from around the world who have gathered

to seek Christ and prepare for lives of faithful

service. Every day I encountered students

discerning God's call, professors shaping Christian

minds, staff members serving quietly behind the

scenes, coaches discipling athletes, musicians

leading worship, missionaries preparing for the

nations, scientists exploring God's creation, and

leaders making decisions that will influence

generations yet to come.

As I walked across campus, I found myself praying

for every building, every department, every office,

every classroom, every faculty member, every staff

member, and every student. Soon I discovered that

the greatest strategic plan for a Christian college is

not merely organizational—it is spiritual. Before we

can educate well, we must pray well. Before we can

lead wisely, we must seek the wisdom of God.

Before we can send students into the world, we

must first send our prayers before them.

The Lord led me to the Book of Acts.

Acts is not simply the history of the early Church; it

is the story of what happens when ordinary people

live extraordinary lives through the power of the

Holy Spirit. Every chapter reveals a praying

Church, a worshiping Church, a serving Church, a

suffering Church, a unified Church, and a

missionary Church. It is, in many ways, the perfect

picture of what every Christian college should

become.
