CLAIM YOUR CAMPUS
Attention youth pastors/leaders. Although it seems the summer break has just begun, it is not too early to plan for the Fall and begin to equip your students to pray for their respective school campuses. The school campus is one of the most influential places in a student’s life. According to CYC, 9,000 hours are spent on campus during middle school and high school. 50% of a student’s time during the school year is spent on campus.
CYC began with eight high school students, meeting weekly to pray, in the largest public high school in the state of Michigan. Since then CYC has been presented to 250,000 students and trained more than 15,000 students to claim their campus through prayer.
In case students are unsure what to pray, CYC has a simple prayer strategy:
GRACE: Titus 2:11 - For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.
Compassionate Christ Followers
