Billy Graham once said, “Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.” That is exactly what we tell the youth at Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home.
Prayers are powerful!
That is why we are asking you to pray for our youth through our Prayers of Hope initiative. The youth at the Home have many prayer requests and need the love and support from our staff and from friends of the Home.
Here is how our Prayers of Hope work: At the bottom of this page, there is a form for you to place your email. On the third Thursday of each month, 5-6 prayer requests from our youth will be emailed to you. If you do not have email, not to worry! Please call the Foundation at 317-775-0606 and we can arrange for physical copies to be mailed.
Below is our most recent monthly Prayers of Hope.
March 2026
Dear Friends,
Thank you for lifting up the youth at Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home in prayer. The Bible tells us about the power of prayer. Philippians 4:6 says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
For privacy reasons, we have changed the names in each prayer…but God knows exactly who they are and what they need!
“For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Dear Lord: We pray for all our youths during their upcoming spring break. Some of them will remain on campus while others will go home to family members. We pray they find peace and relaxation during their break from school. For the youths going home during the break, please keep them safe and secure as they are reunited with family and friends. Amen
Dear God: We pray for Thomas and Mikela who came to the Home this month. Let them know that the Home is a safe and caring place to be. We ask that You become their guiding light as they navigate new beginnings. Thank You for placing Thomas and Mikela at the Home so they may heal from their disruptive past. In Your Name we pray, Amen
Heavenly Father: We congratulate Derik on transitioning into the Independent Living Learning program. He has made significant academic and behavioral progress while at the Home. Soon, he will be exploring careers and making plans for a brighter future. Father, we take great comfort in knowing that You are in charge. Thank You for helping Derik take positive steps toward a new and fulfilling life. In Your name we pray, Amen
Almighty God: We pray for Brianna as her family goes through rough times. Let her know that You have a plan and that she needs to trust in You. We pray that Brianna will be reunited with her family and that it will be a safe and caring environment. We know that life has trials and tribulations, but we trust in You to give Brianna the courage to live each day knowing that there are better days ahead. In Your Name we pray, Amen
Wishing all our prayer warriors a Blessed Easter!
Thank you for praying for our youth.
