2. Wisdom as to how we can respectfully convey our request for the ACT Government to re-think their current position to remove chaplains from government schools over time.
3. A formation and strengthening of School Chaplaincy Support Teams in each school where churches send representatives to provide support and prayer.
4. A host of God's people to stand with us in prayer and partner with us financially so our dependence on the federal funding lessens and schools see God's community bringing blessing through chaplaincy.
