    My girlfriend and I have recently volunteered to be leaders for a small Christian based organization. Basically what we do is spend time and develop positive relationships with high-school aged kids and lead their lives to Christ. So many things kids see and go through in today's society could be avoided if there were more positive influences in their life. We aim to care for teens no matter what and a lot of times, that is enough steer someone in the right direction. I ask that you guys pray for my girlfriend and I as we embrace this challenge. Pray that God leads us to the people that need us and need him and pray that he fully equips us to be successful. Thank you all.

    In before some atheist a-hole questions the merit of prayers.

    Good luck in your endeavors. Sounds rewarding.

    I don't really pray bro, but I wish you the best of luck, I know you'll kick ass and be the positive influence those kids need.

    Teenagers are a tricky bunch. It's encouraging to see people out there actually living out the Bible instead of judging others on message boards and Youtube comment sections.

    Added onto my prayer list. Are you allowed to tell us the name of the organization?

    Where's the evidence that prayers are actually meaningful. Oh, wait, I don't even know you. Random internet strangers making appeals to a non-existent deity is totally going to help you out!

    Sorry, but begging for prayers is a major sign of idiocy.

    Doing something positive for the good of young people is great, no matter what your belief system.

    I will happily put in a good word for you !

    Do your best. Leading them to Christ will change their perspective, at least I'd like to think it has for me.

    Teaching integrity to westernized youth is commendable. I'll pray for you, cross my fingers and keep your project in mind.

    Nice of you to show your face here, early twenties know-it-all douche! Wouldn't be a religious thread without your ignorant, nebulous and ever-changing views! See you in your thirties at the Tea Party rally.

    Mix in some free condoms and a math tutor, and I'm right on board.

    I would also like some prayers please.

    Tonight I am going to start playing Dark Souls and I could use all the help I can get.


    What sort of equipment are you going for in your mission? I am deciding between Sword (Knight) and Halbred (Royalist).

    but he is right.

    this isnt a thread asking for opinions on religion, if you dont pray and dont believe ti does any good or whatever, nobody is forcing you to come in here and post.

    coming in here and posting what he did in this thread is flat out trolling, adn deserves to be mocked.

    and before someone accuses me of being biased, I have no religion, therefor I dont pray...but I wont enter threads and mock the OP for asking for comfort and support

    Yes. Got a call from Gamestop. I was surprised they are doing midnight release for it.
