Have You Heard of “See YOU AT THE POLE 2015?”

Wednesday, September 23, 2015 – Global Week of Student Prayer

Sunday, September 20 through Saturday, September 26, 2015

Have you heard of See You at the Pole? It is a time when students gather around the school flagpole to pray. ! The Global Week of Student Prayer is dedicated to prayer and launching your on-campus Bible clubs, prayer strategies, and student ministries.

I think it is great time for grandparents to pray for this event, especially if you have teenage grandchildren. One – that the school will allow students to gather at the flagpole to pray,. Second – that Christian students will take a stand strong in the Lord to unite in prayer interceding for their generation.

We read in Acts 1:14, “They all met together and were constantly UNITED in prayer.” The theme verse follows Paul’s famous passage on the armor of God, challenging and encouraging Christ followers to stand strong in the Lord and be His representatives to share the Good News of the Gospel. For the last 25 years, See You at the Pole has been about one simple act—prayer. See You at the Pole is about students uniting themselves in prayer before God interceding for their generation.

 There are two opportunities to unite in prayer with their friends:

• DAY: SEE YOU AT THE POLE day is on Wednesday, September 23, at 7:00 a.m. local time. All around the globe, in every time zone, students will be gathering at their flagpoles, praying for their school, friends, families, churches, and communities. SEE YOU AT THE POLE is a day committed to global unity in Christ and prayer for your generation.

WEEK: The GLOBAL WEEK OF STUDENT PRAYER (Sunday, September 20 through Saturday, September 26) encourage students to find new and unique ways, places, and times to pray throughout the week. Whether your grandchildren attend PUBLIC SCHOOL, PRIVATE SCHOOL, or HOME SCHOOL, encourage them to gather with their friends wherever and whenever and pray.

Pray for:

• Your school’s event on Wednesday, September 23. See You at the Pole™.
• The students who are leading and planning your See You at the Pole™ at your school.
• The Christians at your school to show up ready to pray on See You at the Pole™
• The non-Christian students on your campus who will see or hear about See You at the Pole.
• Christian students on your campus to make the most of this unique opportunity to explain what happened on the morning of See You at the Pole™ and to be a witness for Christ.
