Students gather last Wednesday for prayer

The annual See You At The Pole prayer event occurred last Wednesday morning, September 28, around the world and here in LaSalle Parish as students in many schools gathered at flagpoles to pray. From high schools to elementary schools, students circled their schools’ flagpoles prior to the start of school where they read scripture, gave testimonies, sang and prayed. They were joined by parents and church leaders in a show of support for the students. The now international event began in early 1990 when a small group of teenagers in Burleson, Texas, came together for a DiscipleNow. They came seeking God and little did they know how powerfully He was about to move. On Saturday night their hearts were penetrated like never before, when they became broken before God and burdened for their friends. Compelled to pray, they drove to three different schools that night. Not knowing exactly what to do, they went to the school flagpoles and prayed for their friends, schools and leaders. Those students had no idea how God would use their obedience.
