The Church in America used to observe a day of united prayer for God to awaken and revive our colleges, and yet no such day of prayer exists today. At a time when the spiritual needs of our nation and world are so great, and so many are calling for more student prayer, is there any reason why this historic day of prayer should not be reestablished?
A witness of these historic events was once asked about the spiritual decline of America’s students. Without hesitation, she replied: “It is due almost entirely to the fact that we no longer observe the Day of Prayer for Colleges as we used to do. There used to be long seasons of prayer in the college chapel and all day meetings for fasting and prayer in almost all the churches. We asked God to raise up ministers and missionaries among the students and He did it...‘Ye have not because ye ask not.’” Read more.
Another way you can participate in the Collegiate Day of Prayer is by joining our 24 hour prayer conference call. This will be available from (midnight to midnight) on February 24th. Different students, pastors, and ministry staff will be leading each hour of prayer using our suggested prayer outline. Join in the live prayer call at: 1-712-432-0232, Access Code: 2367 (CDOP) There is no charge other than the normal long distance fee.
"Today comes but once, and comes never to return. We hope it will come again tomorrow; but it does not. It is gone forever, with its inexhaustible possibilities, privileges and responsibilities." - Record of Christian Work, October 1908 |
