Day of Prayer
The ACSI Day of Prayer is an annual event that advances Christ-centered education by advocating through prayer. These past few school years have presented many unique challenges, but God has given our school communities the strength to overcome adversities and pursue new opportunities. We encourage you to join ACSI when we unite across the globe to pray for Christ-centered education next year on Tuesday, March 2, 2027.
2027 Day of Prayer Theme: Strengthened as One

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ."
– Ephesians 3:16–18
What if the greatest need in our schools is not another program, plan, or strategy, but a deeper dependence on Jesus? This is the heart of the ACSI Global Day of Prayer. This year, Christian schools around the world are invited to come together under the theme ”Strengthened as One,” rooted in Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3:16–18. We are reminded that our strength does not come from ourselves, our programs, or our resources, but from the power of God’s Spirit working within us.
As we unite for the Global Day of Prayer, let’s:
Pray together as a global community of believers, strengthened by the power of the Spirit
Pray for one another across schools, nations, cultures, and generations, knowing that we are one body in Christ
Pray with confidence that God is working through our prayers, forming us, uniting us, and moving us toward faithful action
Wherever you are, whatever your role, you are part of something bigger. As we pray with and for one another, we are strengthened as one, woven together by our shared faith in Jesus. Although we are many, we pray as one—strengthened by the One from whom and through whom and for whom are all things. ”To him be the glory forever! Amen.”
– Romans 11:36
PARTICIPATE. PLAN. PROMOTE. PRAY.
Schools and individuals can be a part of this global day of prayer by posting a prayer request on our interactive map and by encouraging or inviting other participants to unite in prayer.
You can make this day as simple or elaborate as you want, praying personally or creating an experience for you and others. Our prayer guide gives plenty of ideas on how to plan!
Whether you are planning a Day of Prayer event or praying on your own, you can help promote this day through social media and through your community with the hashtag #SchoolsThatPray.

“True prayer is a way of life, not just for use in cases of emergency. Make it a habit, and when the need arises, you will be in practice.”
– Reverend Billy Graham
