As you may already know, InterVarsity is one of the many ministries that are part of the EveryCampus movement. The mission is simple: to mobilize prayer walks and gospel movements to reach every campus in the country.

What difference does a prayer walk make? We have heard story after story about immediate divine intervention on prayer walks–from spontaneous emails sent by university leadership seeking to start a campus ministry within hours of a prayer walk on that campus, to human connections made during prayer walks with students who are rife with loneliness and seeking community–and we believe in the power of prayer to launch gospel movements.

We want to see ALL of the country’s campuses prayer walked by the end of the year, and there are still more than 2,300 with no known prayer walks. So I’m asking you to join the Thousand by Thanksgiving challenge. Between now and 11/28, we want to lower the number of campuses without a prayer walk to below 1,000.

Here’s how you can help:

  • Find a campus near you with no prayer walks recorded. If you want to break it down by region, check out this spreadsheet.
  • Share the unclaimed campuses in your region, and tag someone you know close by (or at that campus!) in the post
  • Share the “Thousand by Thanksgiving” challenge posts with your network, your field staff and on your personal social channels. (Graphics linked here)
