See You at the Pole on September 26
See You at the Pole is a prayer rally where students meet at a school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. This September‘s event marks the third year that Ignite Christian Academy has created a venue for our students to participate in this global day of student prayer.
ICA is uniquely positioned to respond to this call to prayer. With students in all 50 states and 42 countries other than the United States, we cannot all gather around a flagpole at a single address in a single community. However, we can offer prayers for the students of these countries and the communities in which we live right from our homes and also participate communally with fellow ICA students via the Internet and ICA's See You at the Pole WebEx link.
