Prayer Zone Tour
The Prayer Zone Tour is a bike tour in which volunteers from various cities travel the state of Minnesota, stopping at each school individually t0 pray for the students, faculty, and the upcoming school year.

Simply, a prayer zone partner is a person who prays for the school, community, and church.
How Can I Pray for Our Schools?
- Pray for effective campus ministries and clubs.
- Pray that everyone on campus will receive a clear presentation of the gospel.
- Pray for the safety of students and staff.
- Pray that God would bless students' homes with peace.
- Pray for safety and positive influences in the places students like to hang out.
