1. SWU Prayer Walk
The prayer walk began the first year of Dr. David Spittal’s presidency in 1994 as a way of demonstrating a corporate reliance on God. Follow the signs in a prayerful spirit, continuing the shared tradition of relying upon the Lord. At each station you will find the beginning of a prayer.
Lord, thank you for the abundance of your blessing upon this campus. As we grow in grace and knowledge, help us trust in you with all our hearts, souls, and minds. We, the body at Southern Wesleyan University, humbly submit ourselves to your will…

7. SWU Prayer Walk
The first scripture theme in 1994 was II Chronicles 20:15
This is what the Lord says to you, “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.”
If you look behind the second column from your right you will find an engraved brick which once sat upon Dr. Spittal’s desk until Newton Hobson was built. Its name is Maison Ree.
Trust God.
