One important aspect of the annual prayer event is who leads it. We have lots of churches, and they are pretty engaged,” Davis noted. “In Alabama we see a bigger number as far as participation. Sometimes they need a last-minute reminder.”ĭavis added that because Alabama has so many churches, the number of students participating every September is significant. “We can provide prayer guides and other resources for those who request them. We share over social media and traditional media to remind everyone of the date. “We communicate ahead of time with the local churches to encourage their students to promote, plan, participate and pray at their campus,” Davis said. He noted that although there is publicity every year such as radio, television and print ads, most churches are ready for the event when it comes around in September because it has been a regular occurrence for so many years. “We talk to youth leaders, and include in First Priority training.” “First Priority will help students anywhere in the state of Alabama (with planning),” Davis said.

Greg Davis, president of First Priority, a nonprofit organization that works to improve the moral and spiritual well-being of students in Alabama, has been supporting See You at the Pole for many years and continues to encourage local churches and believers to participate. Today, an estimated 1 million students around the world join in each year to pray for others. As God grew the movement, it caught fire in other states and countries. It was dubbed “See You at the Pole,” and within the first year, 45,000 students were participating. Not long afterward, the flagpole prayer vigil spread to other students and other schools. They drove to three local high schools, met at the flagpoles and poured their hearts out to God. In early 1990, the group participating in a Disciple Now weekend was moved and burdened by God to begin praying for friends, schools and leaders. Some 30 years ago, a small group of Texas high school students met for prayer, which unbeknownst to them, would blossom into a movement that now surpasses 66 countries and brings hundreds of thousands of students together to do the most important thing they can - pray.
