University 'Day of Prayer' unites appeals for divine guidance and favor


Ministers, church leaders and members of various religious denominations, University Administrative Council members, employees, and students shared two hours of gratitude and prayer during the 5th Annual University Day of Prayer of Ifugao State University (IFSU) at the Heritage Convention Hall on August 6, 2022.

Starting in 2018, said yearly activity scheduled before the class opening aims for attendees to pray fervently and in unity for God to move in the lives of students, the university workforce, and stakeholders.

University President Dr. Eva Marie Codamon-Dugyon said this opportunity to be together, pray together, express thanks together, and show community togetherness spirit is in light of the IFSU’s core value of faith.

In her sharing, Dr. Dugyon said that the path of the righteous entails patience to wait on the future glory of Christ to be revealed. “The waiting does not mean empty time or space, He promised to strengthen us amidst adversities,” she noted.

In his message, Dr. Windsor Cabrera, resident pastor of the Gospel of Christ Fellowship Inc., highlighted six things to do to soar high like an eagle. These are as follows: Be watchful and vigilant in prayer; Be confident and at rest to soar above the storms of life; Don’t let yourself be intimidated by anything; Be confident when going through a dry season; Don’t give up and stand on your faith; and Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding.

“God is with us in all aspects and tough situations of life, and He wants us to trust Him in every phase of it because He will bring us out through His unlimited power,” pointed out Dr. Cabrera.

Meanwhile, ministers from the different churches led prayers for each of the following affairs: IFSU Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives; IFSU Programs, Projects, and Activities; IFSU Board of Regents; IFSU Administrative Council; IFSU Campuses; IFSU Faculty; IFSU Administration and Support Staff; IFSU Partner Agencies (Foreign, National, and Local); IFSU Students and Clientele; and Government Leaders.

The Gospel of Christ Fellowship (GCF)- Amazing Grace Church facilitated the event.
