vtONE Outdoor Worship Gathering Saturday
Posted by Leadership Team in Announcements, Prayer, Repentance, Themes, Unity, Worship on April 26, 2007
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
Posted by Leadership Team in Announcements, Prayer, Themes, Unity, Worship on April 23, 2007
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
Posted by Leadership Team in Announcements, Prayer, Prayer room, Themes, Unity on April 18, 2007
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
Pray for Virginia Tech
Posted by Leadership Team in Announcements, Prayer, Themes on April 16, 2007
It’s been the kind of day that you wouldn’t wish on anyone here at Virginia Tech. Our campus has been shaken, but God is still our king.
As people are coping with the loss of so many members of our community, we want to take every chance that we have to lift our campus up in prayer. There’s a few specific things that we can pray for:
- The injured members of our community
- The families of those who have passed away, especially that people in their lives would be able to share the Good News with them while they’re more receptive
- That a tragedy like this one would not derail what God is doing on this campus. God is moving powerfully here like we saw two weekends ago, and a tragedy like this is no excuse to let Satan have the victory instead of God.
- Ministry opportunities as our campus heals to share the Good News with people who wouldn’t have cared at all 24 hours ago.
Gatherings related to the tragedy in Blacksburg:
- 7 p.m., West Eggleston Hall on Virginia Tech campus – sponsored by IV
- 8 p.m., Henderson Lawn on Virginia Tech campus – sponsored by VT
- 8 p.m. at the Old Red Cross Building (130 Jackson Street, Downtown Blacksburg) – sponsored by NLCF

Outside Blacksburg:

- 8 p.m., McLean Bible Church Community Room A, McLean, VA
- 8 p.m., Ohio State University, Columbus, OH
We appreciate your prayers as our campus struggles to resume life. Please post a comment if you’re aware of any other goings on that would be of interest to the Christian body at VT ro cool ways of how God has worked through this bad situation.
Spring Worship Event: March 31
Posted by Leadership Team in Announcements, Prayer, Repentance, Themes, Unity, Worship on March 2, 2007
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
Posted by Leadership Team in Announcements, Prayer, Prayer room, Themes on March 2, 2007
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.

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.

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.

“And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit . . . “
Matthew 13:23
Join us on September 23 in Squires Commonwealth Ballroom for the fall worship event. It’s going to be a powerful evening of getting right before God, praying for our campus, and uniting through worship. Doors open at 7pm.
Grab some food with your friends after the Cincinnati game, and then come over to Squires for an evening about planting seeds, bearing fruit, and perseverance. Now’s a great time to start inviting your friends, people from your ministry, people who live on your hall, and anyone who needs to be encouraged in their faith.
Online prayers
Posted by Leadership Team in Announcements, Prayer, Themes on May 6, 2006
I want to draw your attention to two new features of this blog: a prayer requests page and a page about answered prayers. You can visit those pages and post comments on them sharing a prayer request or an answered prayer. Better directions are on the top of both those pages. Let’s use the prayer requests page to get us praying about the same big things and use the answered prayers page as encouragement. Please check out those pages and keep on praying.
