1)praying before regionals (just gathering off to the side of the field. Anyone who wants to participate can)
2)possibly organizing the Christians in FIRST into some type of group or even just gathering(suggestions on this would be awesome)
thats all we have right now but we are open to suggestions!!
p.s. if i have done something wrong here or offended anyone we are sorry and please just let us know, but we believe the Lord is calling us to get the Lord's word out!

1. Private prayer is a wonderful idea. Just as long as it isn't over a loudspeaker. God can hear people clearly enough.
2. Cool idea, might be useful to start it in myspace or something like that (chain e-mail).
As far as I am concerned, as long as it begins and remains an option and nothing more (ex: Its less of an option if somebody declines the offer and gets a look of even minor dissent, or when offered it is offered in a way that yes is apparently the only answer), its OK.
I personally think for people like me, who once went to church on a regular basis but then due to other callings had to just read the bible and soak in as much as possible, a prayer at/before a regional would be a major spiritual booster, morale boost, etc. Fantastic idea.
