From Prayer to Action: Reach Every Student in Your City
.
Every movement of God begins with prayer.
But prayer doesn't stop there. It opens our eyes to the mission field around us—and invites us to step into action together.
That's why we created Accelerate.
Accelerate events bring together youth pastors, campus ministers, and student ministry leaders for a focused time of prayer, collaboration, and gospel strategy.
What Is an Accelerate Event?
Accelerate is a local or regional gathering that equips youth workers to unite in prayer, align in strategy, and reach students in their community with the gospel.
Accelerate events can be a two-hour lunch, a one-day gathering, or a two-day retreat,
Each Accelerate event is designed to help youth leaders:
— Identify their shared mission field
— Build lasting partnerships
— Adopt a common strategy to reach students
Every Accelerate event includes time to celebrate what God is already doing, then dive into three powerful conversations...
1. Prayer Opens Our Eyes
We help leaders identify how many students live in their area, how many schools are in reach, and how many are currently being prayed for and engaged.
Using tools like the Every Student Every School Adopt Your School Dashboard, the mission field becomes visible and actionable.
2. Unity Strengthens Our Reach
No one can reach the next generation alone.
Accelerate creates space for youth leaders to build trust, deepen relationships, and find strength in collaboration.
When we pray together, we start moving together.
3. Shared Strategy Drives Impact
We introduce the Prayer, Care, Share model, a simple and adaptable framework that helps every ministry speak the same language when it comes to reaching students.
Together we explore...
— How can we raise the level of prayer for students?
— How can we demonstrate deeper care in our communities?
— How can we share the Gospel more boldly and consistently?
It Starts with Prayer. It Moves with You.
Accelerate gatherings often end with a powerful time of prayer: leaders crying out to God on behalf of the next generation.
But that's just the beginning.
A year later, many teams return to celebrate progress.
More schools adopted. More students reached. More stories of transformation.
This is how the Gospel moves forward in our cities — together.
