Flag poles basically have one primary purpose, to fly a flag. Tomorrow thousands of students and adults in Kansas will be meeting around flag poles at 7:00 AM at their schools. This isn’t to show reverence to those who have fallen for our country. It isn’t to say the Pledge of Allegiance. It is to come together under the flag and pray for our schools, towns, cities, and nation. Every year, See You At The Pole happens on a Wednesday in September. This all began in 1990 with 10 students who came together to pray for their friends, families, school, and country. It has since spread to millions of students across the globe.
Some kids show up to pray silently, others pray in groups, and others read Scriptures or sing worship songs. But they are united in one purpose, to lift up their friends, families, schools, and nations to God. This year the theme for See You At The Pole is Engage: Engage your school, Engage your community, Engage your world – for His glory! The theme verse is found in 2 Kings 22:13a. Go and pray to God for me and for the people. This verse is about King Josiah and one of the greatest revivals in the Old Testament, all begun by a teenager. Tomorrow students are going to stand together and pray. The question I have for you is, will you join them wherever you may be? Lift up their schools, lift up the faculty and the students, and pray for the leaders in government in local, state, and national levels. Do you know what could happen if we all banded together to pray?
