According to the report, they prayed, "Please convict and empower us to passionately be Your light in Your school, [and] in our city, state, and nation."
One participant, Scott Schull, said, "I just want to see the Lord glorified."
Lois Brown, a minister, said, "I'm expecting to see a change in our school system, a change in our children; that they will feel better about themselves and they will know someone is praying for them."
