Prayer Network to Pray for Bethel
Former Director of Church Ministries Marie Schultz has returned to Bethel University to establish and lead a National Prayer Initiative in support of Bethel’s ministry. Prayer teams will be established in areas across the country and will comprise individuals who have committed to meet on a regular basis to intercede for specific needs of the institution, as well as for students, faculty, and staff in general.
Schultz has broad experience in the coordination of activities; a deep belief in the power of
prayer; and knowledge of and commitment to the mission and ministry of Bethel. She is a member of the President’s Prayer Council which was formed in the early 1990s to support fundraising and construction of the Carl H. Lundquist Community Life Center (CLC). In fact, the President’s Prayer Council continues to meet faithfully every month, expanding the scope of prayers for Bethel beyond the CLC, which was completed and dedicated in 1996.
In her new part-time position, Schultz will work closely with Bethel’s Institutional Advancement division, her widespread contacts within the Baptist General Conference, and friends of the university at affiliated churches to build a coast-to-coast prayer network on behalf of Bethel.
