PLAINVIEW —Wayland Baptist University students gathered in front of historic Gates Hall on the Plainview campus in Sept. 24, to take part in See You at the Pole, a day of student-led prayer.
The event, hosted by Wayland’s Chapel Prayer Team, brought students, faculty and staff together to sing, worship and pray for their school, community, nation and world. It was part of a worldwide movement that began in 1990 when a small group of Texas high school students felt led to pray around their school flagpole. Since then, millions of students in all 50 states and more than 60 countries have participated annually.
“It’s always a special time when God’s people unite in prayer,” said Donnie Brown, Director of Spiritual Life.
Wayland students joined thousands of others around the globe in prayer under this year’s theme, “Awe” drawn from Habakkuk 3:2 — “Lord, I am filled with awe!”
