See You At The Pole – Sept. 22
See You At The Pole is a student-led, student-initiated global prayer movement centered around students prayer together at their flag-poles on the fourth Wednesday in September.
This year’s See You At The Pole takes place Wednesday, September 22 @ 7am.
The following description of the this year’s theme is found here
The 2010 See You at the Pole™ theme is Reveal based on the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9–13.
The Message Bible states the Lord’s Prayer like this:
With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what’s best—as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You’re in charge! You can do anything you want! You’re ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes.
For twenty years now, See You at the Pole™ has been about students leading out in prayer, asking God to reveal Who He is on campuses all over the United States and the world.
On Wednesday, September 22, at 7 a.m., GATHER at your school flagpole, PRAY for your school, friends, families, and world. ASK God to REVEAL Who He is to your campus. Pray for AWAKENING.
Begin praying now for our students who will be gathering for prayer.

Our Hearts Desire
The entire month of March is being devoted to our Sunday School and the power of the invitation. Inviting is a personal action, one that requires a person to step forward and ask another person a request to gather for a specific reason. An invitation is a sign of acceptance and love as the inviter wants the invitee to be a part of the event.
Sunday School is the our main connecting point for people to meet each other, share their life, and meet Christ together. It is our hearts desire for our friends to come to Christ. In suppor of our Sunday School emphasis this month to PowerUP or Sunday School through the Power of Inviation, our students and adults were asked last Tuesday night at AMPED to identify their friends who needed prayer for their salvation. It was a powerful moment as one-by-one our students and adults came to the alter to put the first name of a friend who they wanted specific prayer for their salvation.
I ask you to join with us in praying for the salvation of our friends and for us as we look for those God Moments to share Christ with them.
The first names of our friends we desire to know to Christ.
Thanks for Prayers
Thank you for everyone who prayed for and help us out while Jamie was ill.
She is still going to hurt from time to time until the baby is born but she is doing much, much better.
Update on Jamie
As many of you know, Jamie, my wife, is in the hospital. What was thought to be a bad UTI and a possible kidney stone is really a really, really bad UTI that has spread to her kidneys and if untreated will get into her blood. She will be in the hospital at least over night with an IV of an antibiotic more powerful than what she was taking.
Jaida and Tori are at the grandparents house. Please pray for the infection to go away quickly.
