The 2009 See You at the Pole event is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 23 at schools throughout the U.S. and in many other countries.
This year’s theme is derived from 2 Kings 22:13a and is “Engage: Go and pray...”
In 2008, teenagers met for See You at the Pole in every U.S. state and many countries around the world. Other nations have launched SYATP movements with their own promotional efforts, including Australia — where it was observed May 21, 2009; and Canada — on the same date as the U.S.
Stories from Australia regarding the event may be viewed at www.syatpaustralia.com and stories form Canada may be viewed at www.syatpcanada.com.
This is the 20th year for SYATP, a student-initiated and student-led movement that started in 1990 in the Ft. Worth suburb of Burleson, Texas. SYATP brings students to their school flagpoles to intercede for their leaders, schools, and families, asking God to bring moral and spiritual awakening to their campuses and countries.
Everything necessary for students to plan and promote a successful SYATP is available free at www.syatp.com. Additional promotional resources can be ordered online or by calling 817-HIS-PLAN (447-7526) between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. CST, Monday-Friday.
Brochures, a promotional DVD and posters are some of the materials available for 2009.
The San Diego-based National Network of Youth Ministries coordinates the SYATP promotion.
“For 20 years, we have seen this day serve as a springboard for unity for teenagers on their secondary and college campuses,” Paul Fleischmann, president of the network, said. “See You at the Pole unites students in prayer at the beginning of the school year. Challenging youth to take leadership on their campus is always a good idea. It’s important to remember that though it has a 20-year history, it’s fresh to today’s students.”
Church congregations nationwide can show support for SYATP by sponsoring special “Campus Challenge Sunday” commissioning services Sept. 19-20, the weekend before SYATP. Participants will recognize and pray for Christian students and educators in their congregations. Campus Challenge Sunday resources, including sermon outlines and program ideas, have been created by the National Network of Youth Ministries and can be downloaded free from www.everyschool.com.
