Campus America Launches New WebsiteTrent Sheppard - 19 May 2009

In 2009 & 2010, an initiative of 24-7 Prayer called Campus America is aiming to connect every college and university campus in the United States culminating in a chain of nonstop prayer through 2010. Like some sort of holy virus that is approaching the edge of a full-blown breakout, 24-7 prayer rooms have already touched down on over 410 campuses in the States as of February 2009. And this thing is just getting started.

The goal is not a new organization. The goal is people praying on campuses. That’s why Campus America is partnering with students and professors, long established collegiate ministries and brand new communities of faith to make this happen. We are well aware there are numerous campus ministries with more experience and better strategies than we have, and we’re calling every one of them to pray!

Why? Because we’re convinced that if we get down on our knees side-by-side, we’ll stand up much stronger together. Unified and humble prayer around the person of Jesus is a powerful prescription for the ills of our time. Campus America is about helping create sacred space for students to simply encounter and engage with Jesus. And as this happens, the campuses of America are beginning to awaken.

I’m extremely excited to tell you that the brand new, shiny, happy Campus America website is alive and kicking. It's a fantastic tool for anyone seeking to inform themselves about what God is doing in Campus America or get involved with continuous prayer in their university.  Please, take a moment to click over to campusamerica.org now!
