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.
September 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!
“As for me, I call to God…and he hears my voice.” Psalm 55:16-17
Loving God, Anne has been working on motivation and courage to advocate for herself. By Your Holy Spirit, may You help her to find suitable employment so she can gain valuable work experience. Help her to continue to thrive in school as she gets ever closer to graduation. Amen.
God, we are thankful for our Independent Living Learning Lab youths and advisors that serve meals at Holy Family Shelter. Its opportunities like this that help the youths understand what being missional is about as they get out and into the community serving others. May their service be a blessing to those they serve. Amen.
Loving God, Jackson has just arrived and is so grateful for the chance to be here. He knows that he must be here and wants to take full advantage of the loving support. He is looking forward to graduation and the possibility of going into the Independence Project. We pray that You will continue to work in his life guiding him to a better future. Amen.
Thank you for praying for our youths.
