Prayer Requests

  • Ask God to strengthen churches in America as beacons of truth and justice, advocating for the dignity and equality of all people. Pray for churches to be powerful advocates for justice and mercy, calling for policies that reflect God’s love for the vulnerable. Pray for the protection of civil liberties and religious freedoms, especially for churches to remain sanctuaries of truth. Pray for the healing of societal divisions and that narratives of hate and injustice would be dismantled.
  • Join us in prayer for a unified love for God and people and the opportunity to stand together as voices of hope and justice in the midst of political and cultural divisions.
