Every year, a date is designated for Christian teenagers all over the U.S., to meet at their school flagpoles and pray for their friends, their school, their teachers, their nation, their churches, and any other prayer requests that are mentioned.

This event is called "See You at The Pole," and it is a wonderful ministry designed for the youth to, not only show their faith by their actions, but to also be a witness to their friends who need Christ. This event takes place on September 21, 2005, at 7 AM. in the morning. It is done early in the morning so that it does not interfere with school. It is student lead, so that there are no "legal" issues, and nobody is forced to participate. The scripture they will use this year will be Jeremiah 33:3.

I am a youth leader at my church, and our church is really focusing on SYATP for our youth. It has been a blessing in the past, to drive by a school early in the morning and see a group of teenagers, in a circle, around the flagpole, holding hands....and praying.

With all the problems that we have in our schools today, it is very refreshing to see teenagers take a stand for their faith and pray. As adults, we need to pray for teenagers every day. They will be our future leaders.
