SWAT Team for Your School

Some teachers are already at school organizing their rooms and materials. Parents, grandparents, and concerned citizens need to be in preparation too. School shootings have become far too common. It is time to act with a prayer SWAT team. 

SWAT―Spiritual Warfare Attack Team―prayer teams create a hedge of protection through intercession. Prayer warriors use Ephesians 6:10-18 to protect our students and staff from the enemies’ harm.

Cindy Jacobs of the Reformation Prayer Network proposes a five-point plan.

Select a School. Adopt your child’s school to cover in prayer. If your children/grandchildren attend more than one school recruit help.

Drive around or prayer walk the school. Try to do so at least once a week. 

Recruit others to pray. Form a prayer group from your church or other Christian parents.

Secure the school. Ask others to join you who know how to engage through prayer the powers and principalities of darkness. Chart and pray over every classroom, office, storage area, restroom, gym, locker room, and auditorium. Include every inch of the building(s), lawn, fields, playgrounds, and parking. Turn the spiritual climate in your school to light and love.

Volunteer at your selected school. As you serve, keep you eyes and ears open to people or situations that need prayer.
