NOTE: The Prayer Warrior currently is mailed to approximately 486 people who have communicated to the Alumni Office that they wish to pray for Sterling College. We are expanding this prayer ministry to the entire Warrior Family: current campus community, alumi - both graduates and former students, and friends. If you have a prayer request that you would like to share, please email, David Earle at david.earle@sterling.edu. It would be our honor to include prayer and praise items in the monthly Prayer Warrior.
