HOUGHTON STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN SEE YOU AT THE POLE
HOUGHTON, N.Y.
— Houghton College students, faculty and staff gathered together to pray at
Houghton’s See You at the Pole event on Wednesday, September 21.
Members
of the Houghton community met at 7 a.m. to sing, read scripture and pray.
“The focus is putting our school year in God’s hands,” said Jennifer Taylor,
student organizer of this event.
See You at the
Pole (SYATP) is a student-initiated and student-led movement that started in
the Ft. Worth suburb of Burleson, Texas, in 1990. It originated with just one
youth group, who met at night at several schools around Burleson during a
weekend retreat. 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.
In 2004, more than
two million teenagers met for See You at the Pole in all 50 states.
Internationally, reports came in from countries on six continents, including
Congo, Bahamas, Germany, Ghana, Guam, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan,
Kenya, South Korea, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Norway, Peru, Portugal,
Romania, Singapore, and South Africa.
