This year, campusfire has designated September 21, the
Sunday before See You at the Pole (SYATP), as Campus Challenge Sunday.
It’s an excellent time for churches to show
their support for the students who are considered campus missionaries in
their congregation. It is a great opportunity for congregations to join
together in prayer for their local campuses, educators and students.
Churches which wish to use the Sunday before to put a
special emphasis on SYATP may consider the following ideas:
• Use videos in the service, to express the
passion and emotion of students involved in ministry on their campus.
• Invite students, youth leaders, teachers or
coaches to give real-life examples of the issues teenagers face without
Christ. Let these people also share their impact as a Christian example on
the school campus.

• Ask students to share testimonies about what
God is doing in their school.
• Include a time of commissioning where students
in the service stand or come to the front and ask a church leader to voice
a prayer of dedication, spiritual protection, and intercession over the
students.
• Use a church bulletin to explain and promote
SYATP, and the concept of students being campus missionaries.
• Put all the Christian students going to public
school on campusfire Missionary Cards, and post their info on your
church’s missionary board
There are downloads and more information at
www.campusfire.com, which will help you plan the Sunday. Have fun with it!
