Sophomore student starts a monthly prayer movement on campus bringing together all different types of students 
Published on March 16, 2012

 A student who has a passion for prayer and change on campus starts a prayer movement which takes place on campus once a month to bring together all different types of students to pray for our campus, government, and the world.

 “My goal for this is to have people praying for our campus and the nations around the world on a daily basis,” Reagan McDonald, the student who started the movement, said.

 Around 90-100 students showed up the first time, McDonald said.

 The prayer movement meeting consists of a PowerPoint of guided prayer, which is optional, and worship music in the background. People get into groups and prayer together for the hour.

 “I just really felt like we needed something like this on our campus and it really unites all Christians, not just ones in specific organizations,” McDonald said.

 McDonald has a passion about prayer and has shown her beliefs in a very public way through this movement. Despite any criticism for public prayer coming her way, she has gone through with this idea.

 “One thing I love about OU is that students have the freedom to start clubs and organizations and are encouraged to follow their passions. I think that this movement is not offending but simply students practicing their faith,” Allie Corbin, a student who attended the prayer movement event, said.

 The next movement meeting will take place on April 1 in Dale hall room 128 and you can join McDonald’s “Prayer Movement” group on Facebook for more information.
