PRAYER SHIELD
      A Christ centered ministry dedicated to developing prayer in the local church for Pastors and Ministry Leaders.

      Pastor's High School Focus

      Providing the opportunity for young people and their families to find Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior by spreading the Gospel through an intentional planned focus on the local High Schools through God’s Spirit and His people.

      God has provided a set place where 5 days a week hundreds, if not thousands, of  students, teachers, admin and staff (and by extension their families) are located.

      The young will take their lead from those who influence them the most, so who shall influence this generation.                  Socrates

      Preach the Gospel at all times, when necessary use words.

      Francis of Assisi

      Though not allowed to evangelize directly, most schools are very open to receiving support and volunteers from the local churches.  Schools have a great need for volunteers who will coach, tutor, mentor, act as lunch or play ground attendants and more.  Each of these provide opportunity for a positive Christian influence in young peoples lives, in addition to the awesome opportunity to pray, and connect with those who will be the future of our Nation and the Church. 

      If not us, then who?
