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, February 24, 2026.
2026 Day of Prayer Theme: Power in Prayer

"The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." — James 5:16
This year, ACSI invites Christian educators and schools worldwide to come together under the theme “Power in Prayer.” Rooted in James 5:16, this promise reminds us that God listens and works when His people pray. Prayer isn’t about perfect words or flawless faith. It’s about humble dependence on a powerful God. Like Elijah, who was "a man with a nature like ours," we’re called to pray with confidence—not because of who we are, but because of who God is.
As we unite for the Global Day of Prayer, let’s:
- Pray boldly for the gospel to transform our schools.
- Pray continually for God to use Christian education to make disciples of all nations.
- Pray with expectation, not for our will, but for God’s
Wherever you are, whatever your role, your prayers matter. Let’s join together, trusting that God will use our prayers to move hearts, transform schools, and change the world.
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.

Discover prayer requests from Christian schools around the world. Please pray for another school or community.
Any prayer or praise submission will be publicly visible with location mapping on the ACSI website.
A prayer request is something you wish to ask or praise God for. No requests for personal assistance of others or promotion will be allowed. This prayer wall will be monitored to maintain reverence as we seek God in all things.
