A Devotional & Prayer Journey
While They Train,
We Pray
13 Weeks of Prayer Through Marine Corps Recruit Training
They stepped onto the yellow footprints to begin one of the hardest journeys of their life.
You may not be able to walk through those 13 weeks beside them — but you can cover every step in prayer.
While They Train, We Pray is a day-by-day Bible study and prayer journey designed to follow your recruit from Ship Day through Graduation.
You Are Not Alone in the Waiting
When They Leave for Boot Camp, Your Journey Begins Too
The calls slow. The letters are short. The days feel long. You know your recruit is being pushed to their limits — but you often don't know exactly what they're facing on any given day.
You may wonder: What are they doing today? Are they exhausted? Are they afraid? How do I encourage them when I can't talk to them?
Instead of wondering what you can do — pray.
Every day of your recruit's journey gives you a specific, Scripture-shaped way to pray. This is something real you can do from home.
