I am truly thankful for the reports that I have received concerning the number of local students who showed their support of Christ and the need for prayer on the Global Day of Student Prayer. I want to share an article that I read this morning. I trust that you will be blessed with the information and continue to be an Intercessor for the children and youth of this generation.
Students Around the World Gather for 'See You at the Pole 2012'
More than three million students from at least 20 countries gathered on school grounds yesterday morning for "See You at the Pole 2012," the annual global day of student prayer, OneNewsNow.com reports. It was the 22nd anniversary of See You at the Pole, which is held on the fourth Wednesday of every September and is student-initiated, student-organized and student-led. Students from elementary school to college meet at their campus flagpoles before school to pray for their friends, families, teachers, school and nation. The theme for this year's event was "Awaken," taken from the prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21. According to Caleb Stanley, a high school senior and president of the local Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in Oxford, Miss., "They try so hard to take prayer and take God out of school, and it's just awesome to see all these students come together and ... say, 'No -- we're going to be close to God, and there's nothing you can do about it to stop us.'"

This is a wonderful testimony and reminder that God does have disciples in all generations. There will be people who will choose NOT to march to the drum beat of the culture but they will choose to follow Christ. I want to invest my time and energy in supporting believers of all ages.
