Uniting University Students Through Prayer – Methosoc All Night Prayer
The Methodist Society on Campus (Methosoc) hosted an unforgettable all-night prayer event on October 25, 2025, at Sunningdale Society under Mbare Circuit. It is an annual event, and every member of the Methosoc looks forward to it towards the end of the year. This powerful gathering drew students from various campuses across Zimbabwe. Seven regions were present, that is: Chinhoyi, Harare, Masvingo, Midlands, Bulawayo, Marondera as well as Zambia uniting them in worship, intercession, and fellowship. The event brought together university and college students of the Methodist Church in Zimbabwe, as well as associates (those who graduated from colleges), for a night of worship, intercession, and fellowship.
The evening kicked off with an opening devotion, followed by a vibrant praise and worship session that set the tone for a night of joy and unity. The Methosoc praise teams led soul-stirring songs that resonated deeply with the congregation, preparing hearts for prayers and reflection. As one attendee noted, “The Methodist way with drums and shakers lifted everyone’s soul!”
The atmosphere was electric, with participants seeking renewal in their spiritual lives and strength for their academic journeys. Students and associates were dedicated to communicating with God and fellowshipping with friends, creating an unforgettable experience.
Guest speakers encouraged young believers to remain steadfast in faith despite campus life challenges, emphasizing prayer, holiness, and service as central to Christian living. The keynote presentation was by Mr Munyanyi who was invited as a guest, he gave a very inspiring and insightful presentation, majority of the students would attest to that. The intercessory session was a highlight, with different groups praying for the church, nation, students, families, and the associates’ integration into the church’s mission. Prayers were filled with passion and hope, with participants believing God can transform communities and personal lives.
One striking aspect was the sea of Methosoc branded t-shirts some regional, some national showcasing unity and love for the ministry. It was clear: this was a family gathering. Meeting people from various regions and institutions was a major plus it was a prime opportunity for socializing and networking, something that’s super vital amongst youths. Attendees exchanged contacts, shared experiences, and forged bonds that’ll last beyond the event.
Behind the scenes, the National Chaplain, National Executive, and regional leaders worked tirelessly to make this event a success. “The planning was a lot, and sometimes we hit a few bumps along the way,” one leader admitted, “but the outcome was totally worth it”. Their dedication paid off, creating an atmosphere where lives were transformed and participants left with renewed spiritual strength and a passion to serve.
In closing remarks, a Methosoc member thanked the host Society and Circuit for their support and hospitality, urging members to keep the fire of revival burning beyond the all-night gathering. As dawn approached, the church echoed with songs of thanksgiving, marking the end of a night deeply rooted in faith and fellowship.
This event reminded all attendees that the youth and associates are a vital part of the church’s mission and revival. The success of this event is a testament to what happens when a community comes together in prayer and unity.
We urge the Methodist Community to continue supporting Methosoc, as it is its own youth arm nurturing future leaders. Parents, encourage your children to be part and parcel of this family they’ll learn, grow with others, and stay rooted in their Christian faith.
May God continue to bless Methosoc!
