Andalas University
This is the oldest university on the island of Sumatra. More than 25,000 students from all over the island, including just a few from traditionally Christian areas, come here to study everything from Engineering to Social Science. The medical school includes a public hospital located on campus.
- As you walk around the park-like grounds looking down over the city pray for those students who have been brought up going to church but may never have understood the Good News. There will be pressures on them to convert to the majority faith but also, through the witness of believers, the opportunity to meet Jesus for the first time.
- Pray that those who already know Jesus will remain true to Him and be salt and light, completing assignments/exams with integrity and showing love to their classmates.
- Pray that, through the lives of those who know him, the name of Jesus is lifted high and others are drawn to Him.
