A small group of teenagers in Burleson, Texas, came together for a weekend in early 1990. They came seeking God and on Saturday night their hearts were penetrated like never before, when they became broken before God and burdened for their friends. Compelled to pray, they drove to three different schools that night. Not knowing exactly what to do, they went to the school flagpoles and prayed for their friends, schools, and leaders. 

God used what He did among those teenagers and others who were holding similar prayer meetings at their schools to birth a vision in the hearts of youth leaders. Their vision was that students would come to flagpoles to pray simultaneously. 

On September 12, 1990, more than 45,000 teenagers met at school flagpoles in four different states to pray before the start of school. A year later, an estimated one million students gathered at school flagpoles all over the country. Like those first students, they prayed for their schools, for their friends, for their leaders, and for their country.

Today is "See You at the Pole Day."  Pray for students across this country to be transformed and empowered by Jesus Christ!
