As a pastor or church prayer coordinator, you know there are few people who better understand the power and importance of prayer. It's what sustains us, unites the church body and acknowledges our dependence on our loving God.
On Thursday, May 1, millions of believers from across America will join together to celebrate the 57th annual National Day of Prayer. Since 1952, the National Day of Prayer has been a powerful reminder of our need to kneel before God's throne in the public square - regardless of cultural and denominational differences.
