24 Hour Prayer

Posted by: Joshua Alcorn

This past semester SOI 21 helped facilitate 24 Hour Prayer at George Mason University (10/29), George Washington University (11/30-12/1), and American University (12/2-3). On all three campuses students literally prayed around the clock! Here’s some of the awesome feedback we received:

“there is always something special about gathering with a body of believers to pray and worship. 24/1 has been an empowering experience and has prepared me to take on the rest of the week remembering I am not alone in my faith on this campus.”

“It meant a lot for me personally to be able to be involved in this and renewed my commitment to active prayer. I was reminded of the power and awesomeness of communication with God.”

“24/1 was awesome. Prayer is the only thing that is gonna change our university. We are changing the spiritual atmosphere at this campus.”

“God’s timing is perfect. I was struggling to open up about a traumatic event in my life that took place 13 years ago. I was scared and didn’t want to talk about it, but I’m so glad I did. I really felt the Lord’s healing touch when everyone prayed for me. Someone got Is. 54:4-6 for me…the exact same Scripture another leader had given me the first time I talked about it—what an amazing confirmation.”
