American Baptist Churches USA Issues Urgent Call to Prayer

ABNSHeader6.19.15

VALLEY FORGE, PA (ABNS 7/20/16)—Susan Gillies, interim general secretary, American Baptist Churches USA, invites all American Baptists to join in special prayer for these troubled times throughout the remainder of this summer.

Please pray upon rising and retiring each day, seeking God’s grace for healing and wholeness throughout this country and the world. Pray for healthy alternatives to violence. Pray for those who don’t know what to do with their anger and frustration. Pray for those who have signed on to protect and serve. Pray for insight into what you can do to help bring hope and healing.

For those who prefer a specific time to be called to special prayer, please join us at 7 a.m. or 7 p.m. in your time zone, knowing others in our American Baptist family are praying with you. Please continue your prayers through summer’s end (Sept. 21).

For those who prefer a specific day to be called to special prayer, please pray on the date each month that corresponds to the date of your birth. “Mark it on your calendar,” Gillies suggests. “I’ll be praying on the 10th of each month for the remainder of this year.”

ABCUSA President, Judy Fackenthal, will be praying on the 22nd of each month for the remainder of the year.

Please join the American Baptist family in our chorus of supplication.
