What are National Leaders saying about the
Collegiate Day of Prayer?

"I am deeply motivated and excited as I consider collegiate ministries and believers outside the collegiate context praying together on February 23rd, for God to move on our campuses of the US as He has before in history. The third Thursday of February was chosen during the Second Great Awakening as the date everyone would set aside to pray to God for His Spirit to move on our campuses. We are aligning ourselves with those who have gone before us in seeking God for a significant movement of His Spirit across the US. I heartily endorse the Collegiate Day Of Prayer on February 23. Together let's ask God to move once again as He has in past generations."

"How vital that we are praying for the next generation! It gives us at Moms In Touch International Ministries great JOY to know you are focusing on prayer specifically for college students."

-Tom Boyle
Director of Staff Development & Training, InterVarsity

"Historically, college campuses have been prime places for revival to break out. The Collegiate Day of Prayer is aware of the way God has moved in the past and is calling us all to pray for Him to do it again in our day! I encourage praying Christians everywhere to join together on the Collegiate Day of Prayer, asking the Lord to awaken campuses across this nation and around the world."

- Dave Butts,
Chairman, America's National Prayer Committee

"God is stirring up a movement of prayer across America that will release a great awakening and an unprecedented harvest of souls.  The Collegiate Day of Prayer is one of these national movements.  There is an unprecedented moral crisis in our nation that is shaping the hearts and minds of the next generation.  We need a breakthrough from heaven.  More than a meeting and more than an event, the Collegiate Day of Prayer is a call to the Body of Christ to stand in prayer for the college campuses of our nation and the future of the next generation.  By participating in prayer with the Collegiate Day of Prayer, you are aligning your heart with God's heart to mark a generation with revival and spiritual awakening that would sweep across every college campus in our nation.  What God has done in previous generations, pray He would once again do in our day and age! Let's join in prayer on the last Thursday of February (Feb 23) with the Collegiate Day of Prayer!"

"College students have always been at the forefront of what God is doing in the world. The starting point of Christian spiritual stirrings and activity and revival begins when a handful of college students meet together on a campus for prayer. I challenge students to set aside time and pray for their campus and fellow students on the Collegiate Day of Prayer, February 23."

- Dennis Gaylor,
National Director, Chi Alpha Campus Ministries, USA

"College students and prayer - what a potent combination for God's kingdom to move forward! I'm delighted to see the Collegiate Day of Prayer call the body of Christ to unite in prayer for the next generation. I hope you will join me in crying out to God for our nation's campuses this February."

- Byron Paulus,
Life Action Revival Ministries

"Some wells are worth re-digging. They may be buried beneath years of overgrowth, covered by the consequences of time. But for those who are willing to dig, there's fresh water to be found. The Collegiate Day of Prayer is that sort of well: a vast and life-giving reservoir of God's goodness stored up for students. Let's dig deep and see what God does."

- Trent Sheppard,
Alpha New England / YWAM and author of God on Campus (IVP)
