Why Every Christian Should Adopt a School
FIVE REASONS EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD ADOPT A SCHOOL
1) We all live in some school district.
No matter where you live, you live in a school district - and that school district is filled with families who need to know Jesus. Praying for the school including the students, their families, the teachers, coaches, administrators, and staff means you are praying over quite a few people who need the gospel in your geographic area. This is a great reason to adopt a school near you!
2) Most of us pay taxes to some school district.
Most of us are paying taxes to support a local school district. If you are investing financially into a school district, doesn't it make sense to invest spiritually in that school district? And we cannot put a price tag on the value of your spiritual investment into a school when we think about the impact your prayers could have for eternity.
3) Most of us know someone who works at a school district.
Whether it's a teacher, coach, administrator, staff member, or students, almost all of us know someone connected with our local schools. Those people you know at that nearby school give you a personal connection to the school even if you do not have kids there yet or if your kids have long since graduated.
4) The school is the center of your community.
Just to go to a Friday night football game, the spring musical, or a graduation. Schools are the center of our communities. Between band concerts, sporting events, and theater many of us find ourselves returning to a local school at least once, if not more, times during a year. The institution at the center of our communities needs our prayers!.
5) The students in our local schools today are our country's future leaders tomorrow.
If for no other reason, we ought to pray for schools because those students are someday going to become the elected officials, business leaders, job producers, and spiritual leaders (good or bad) of our future. You may not be affected by the kids in a school now, but a few decades from now people younger than you will be making decisions that affect your life and the lives of your loved ones. They need our prayers now!

What do you pray for when you pray for a school?
* Pray that God will raise up students who are campus missionaries to that school.
* Pray for the campus ministry at that school or for a campus ministry to be launched there.
* Pray for adults and students there to have opportunities to hear and respond to the gospel message.

More than 80 % of the next generation of Americans can be found in one place Monday through Friday - their schools. It's one of the most strategic ways to pray for our country and our world.
