National Collegiate Day of Prayer
 For approximately a century, a day was set aside to seek God and pray for the campuses across the nation.
During this time, the prayers of the Church were answered with awakenings and revivals that were sustained and ongoing.
Now about 100 years later, no such day exists amid the national and personal struggles that face our nation and her people.
Our campuses are lacking in the bread of life and in need of living waters.
The time to end our silence and pray for His Kingdom and Will has come.
On February 25 campuses around the nation will rise up to resurrect this day of collegiate prayer and seek the face of God to breathe His life and liberty into our campuses.
On campuses such as the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, the Body of Christ will be uniting at their Campus House of Prayer (CHOP) for 100 hours of prayer leading up to the Collegiate Day of Prayer and its conclusion.
This period of prayer aims to not only saturate the UTK campus with prayer but every college around the nation.
They will also carry out a number of “prayer projects” where campus ministries will intentionally pray for the chancellor, vice-chancellors, deans, and department heads within the 100 hours of prayer.
These ministries will choose one or more of these figures of authority and have them be their prayer focus on the collegiate day of Prayer.
Campus Renewal Ministries’ National Fusion Group Coordinator Gary Peacock, noted, “the Collegiate Day of Prayer is a great opportunity for the body of Christ at the University of Tennessee to not only unite, but to serve our campus.”
When asked to comment on the Collegiate Day of Prayer, CRM President Jeremy Story emphasized the importance of reaching this generation for Christ.
He said, “College students are a pivotal percent of our population. They will be the future leaders and culture shapers in every area of our society.”
CRM looks forward to the collegiate day of prayer and is excited to be a part of it.
