Get Wilder! 24-7 Virus Spreads through US Campuses

Published: February 18th, 2009

Campus America is a vision of 24-7 Prayer to see all two and half thousand University and college campuses in the United Stated of America unite in an unbroken year of prayer in 2010.  Can you imagine what God could do when thousands of students in one of the most powerful nations on earth gives themselves to praying and responding to what He says?  What leaders will emerge?  What culture-shapers and history-makers will connect with the creator of the universe?

You can help make History…

Robert and Grace Wilder were a brother-sister team with a God-sized heart for the nations. While in college, they had prayed for God to move on campuses in a way that would bless the world. In 1886, Robert set out on an adventure with a few of his friends. Traveling on horseback to 162 college campuses, they made friends and inspired other students to answer the call to go to the ends of the earth for Jesus Christ. The fruit of their historic journey demonstrates the power of a God who works alongside the faith and actions of college students. 100,000 students eventually pledged that they were “willing and desirous” to go the foreign mission field. 20,000 went. Tens of thousands stayed home and supported their friends.

Learning from their sacrificial, relational and viral example we’re sending teams of students from campus to campus, traversing the USA, to connect with Christians, stir up prayer and share the gospel.  The first of the team were sent out from Las Vegas in January and already have already led someone to the Lord.

You can be Wilder…

We believe the hour has come for a new student mission movement founded in prayer to spring from American campuses to the nations of the world.

Where do you see darkness? Where do you see suffering? What places do you see in the world that make you cry?” Are you willing to do something about it?

Today, we are calling American college students to once again rise to the challenge of tackling the world’s biggest problems with a faith in God and a willingness to volunteer their lives for the cause of Jesus.  To sound this call, we are inviting friends from around the country – students, ministries, and churches – to join together in a united effort to reach every campus in America with a call to prayer, evangelism, and mission.
