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.
February 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!
“But truly, God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.” – Psalm 66:19
Dear Lord, we pray for our five students taking classes to receive their HiSet (high school equivalency test) diploma. Please give the students the tools they need to pass the classes as this could be one of their biggest achievements. Give them patience and confidence as they pursue this significant milestone. Amen.
Dear Lord, we praise you! Through worship and Bible study, Marcus is on a spiritual journey. He is exploring the Bible and wants to learn more about God’s love and caring spirit. Thank you for guiding Marcus toward your loving ways. Amen.
Dear Lord, we pray for Thomas as he will be reunited with his father soon. It has been a long process of healing and forgiveness. Please make their reunion peaceful and long-lasting. Amen.
Dear God, watch over the Family Teachers. Guide them and give them the courage and stamina to be the best role models possible. In your name we pray, Amen.
Thank you for praying for our youth.
