  • Partner Highlight - Pray for Me Campaign
    May 19 2026

    In this episode our Pastor of Discipleship, Joshua Adair, speaks with Tony Souder, founder and CEO of the Pray for Me Campaign. The Pray for Me Campaign emerged as Tony Souder and the leaders of the Youth Leader Collective considered the national statistics indicating the rise of students leaving the church. While the research was unsettling, it also provided clarity. Repeatedly, the research suggested the when multiple adult believers invest in the lives of students, they are more likely to stay connected to the church and flourish in their faith. Naturally, the team began to ask: “How can we connect more adults with more young people more naturally than ever before?” Choosing to take the most basic of Christian acts—prayer—and make it the connecting point between the generations, they created the Pray for Me Campaign.
