ABOUT PASSION:
Passion has been around since 1997. It exists to glorify God by uniting students in worship and prayer for a spiritual awakening in this generation. From the beginning, Passion has been rooted in the confession of Isaiah 26:8: “Yes Lord, walking in the way of Your truth we wait eagerly for You, for Your name and renown are the desire of our souls.â€
A Brief Excerpt from Passion’s website: “God longs to bring awakening to every campus, mobilizing the students of today to finish the task of global evangelization in this generation. God is calling us out for this purpose, in this moment, for His renown.”
We believe this is such an awesome opportunity for our region to come worship together and experience God together. So, once again:Â SPREAD THE WORD!!! – INVITE EVERYONE!!!

Show your hope for VT: Change your facebook picture
The world will soon move on, but on 4/30/07–the two-week anniversary of the shootings at VT–we want to let the Virginia Tech family know our prayers continue and our hearts are with them.
Many have a VT logo in their profile now, but what if for at least one day on Monday, April 30, all of Facebook had a common face of hope? And our hope is for VT, as well as every campus and city throughout the world where injustice looms and desperate cries are heard.
Can we reach at least 10,000 members to start spreading hope?
Can we invite every Facebook member to change their pic for the day?

vtONE Outdoor Worship Gathering Saturday
This Saturday, 7-10pm on Henderson Lawn at College Ave & Main St in downtown Blacksburg.
A night where we gather together across ministries and churches as God’s united family in downtown Blacksburg. We’ll have worship and prayer, plus Louie Giglio from the Passion movement will be sharing his heart with us.
Bring your friends (they don’t have to know Jesus) and spread the word. This campus is a broken place and the solution isn’t a ministry or church, the answer is Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for us. The event is just a few days away–help us get the word out!
Since we will be outdoors, please dress for the weather.
If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:12
Facebook event (invite your friends!)
Prayer at the Burruss Flagpoles, noon – 1pm all week
In light of this past week, we feel it is important that we as believers on this campus be united in prayer continuously. Monday through Friday, at 12 noon until about 1pm, at the flagpoles in front of Burruss, we will have some worship and extended group prayer. We invite you to join the Christian body to pray for a different topic each day. Hope to see you there!
There will also be some worship tonight (Monday) night on the Burruss steps at 8:30. Bring instruments!
Update: we will be at the Burruss flagpoles rain or shine. Please wear weather appropriate clothing!
Prayers from Around the World
People are praying for Virginia Tech from around the world. In the past two days, I’ve talked to people concerned about our campus from more states than I can count . . . Wisconsin, Ohio, Louisiana, Florida to name a few.
We wanted to share some of the prayers and stories that have been flowing into vtONE from around the world. Take a look at these stories, and feel free to add a comment and share your own stories.
A big God thing is starting on our campus, and I can’t help but believe that Satan is using this catastrophic event to try and get us to lose sight of God’s mission for us. Let’s remember who our king is and give Satan a slap in the face by turning this tragedy into a huge opportunity for ministry and a huge testimony of God’s faithfulness in the midst of crisis.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31
Spring Worship Event: March 31
This semester’s worship event will be on March 31 in Squires Commonwealth at 7pm. Come for an evening of repentance, prayer, worship, and unity as we proclaim that Jesus is Lord over all parts of our lives.
Come ready to be challenged about how you can have a bigger impact for God’s kingdom on our campus. Bring your friends, your small group, people from your classes. We’re believing that God is going to shake and rock our campus.
Check back here for more information about the event as it comes in.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
24 Hour Prayer: March 30-31
Before we come together as a campus and worship, we want to lift our campus up in prayer. We’re not talking about praying for 15 minutes before the worship event, or even an hour. We’re going to be praying for 24 hours before the worship event through the end of the worship event.
To make that happen, we need some people to volunteer to spend 1-2 hours praying for our campus. We’re looking for at least 3-4 people to be praying at a time, so grab a few friends and email vt-one@vt.edu to grab a spot.
7pm – 10am at the Prayer Room (directions)
10am – 10pm in Squires meeting room 217 (near Commonwealth Ballroom)
See the schedule for 24 hour prayer here.
Prayer Room Reopening for Spring 2007
Spring semester is now in full swing. We’re going to be back up and running with the prayer room starting this Sunday, January 21. The hours are the same as last semester: Sunday 5pm – 9pm, Monday 9pm – 12mid, and Tuesday 9pm – 12mid.
We’d love to extend those hours, so if you’re interested in being a gatekeeper for an hour a week, lifing our campus up in prayer, please send us an email.
Prayer Room Open
It’s finally here! The vtONE Prayer Room is now open. Every week this semester, the prayer room will be open these hours:
| Sunday: 5pm – 8pm Monday: 9pm – midnight Tuesday: 9pm – midnight |
See the prayer room page for the location and other information. Interested in getting involved with the prayer room? Send an email to vt-one@vt.edu.
We look forward to lifting up our campus in prayer with you!
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
2 Chronicles 7:14-15
Upcoming worship event and prayer blog
It’s under a week until the next worship event (September 23, not September 7, like some of the info cards had by mistake). This week, we’d like to ask all of you to pray for several things to get us ready to worship together. Check back each day this week for a new post that will guide you in praying for the worship event. Today’s prayer blog will be posted shortly.
