See You at the Pole (SYATP) is a global movement of prayer that is student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led. It takes place on the fourth Wednesday in September.

For the last 34 years, young people have gathered at their school’s flag pole or other community location to “intercede for their leaders, schools, and families, asking God to bring moral and spiritual awakening to their campuses and countries,” reads a statement on the SYATP website.  …

“Schools are more than buildings. God wants to be present in them and bring transformation,” said SYATP. “This is the importance of prayer and the importance of See You at the Pole.”

The movement, which began in Burleson, Texas, has spread across the globe, and on this day students “all around the world in every time zone, for 24 hours…will be praying for their school, friends, families, churches, and communities.”

“See You at the Pole is a ‘moment,'” said Doug Clark, National Field Director of SYATP. “We hope adults and students will consider turning that moment into a movement by praying every day. …we need to ask God to pour out His Spirit on us more than ever. The heart of SYATP is extraordinary prayer.”

This year’s theme, “First, Pray,” comes from First Timothy 2:1 which says, “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.” …

This year, Christian music artists like Toby Mac, For KING & COUNTRY, and Lauren Daigle are throwing their support behind the 1-million student movement. …
