MAY 1: NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER RADIO BROADCAST, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. (CST)
This coming Thursday, May 1, is the National Day of Prayer in America. Please engage in your city, supporting it with earnest prayer, trusting God for the future of our nation.
Join me from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. (CST) on a national radio broadcast
Just this weekend, I was asked to be part of a major national radio broadcast on the National Day of Prayer. It will be two hours in length on May 1, from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. (CST).
Last year, over 500 radio stations joined this broadcast from Chicago, telling the story of what God is doing across America relating to spiritual revival and awakening. I will participate, be interviewed, and share with those listening across the nation and beyond about what God is doing in our nation.
You can also stream the broadcast entitled “Telling the Story of Awakening” live on OneCry.com or listen on a local radio station in your market. It will be hosted by Moody Radio, but joined by hundreds of stations. Last year, an estimated 1 million people participated in these testimonies, meditations, prayer moments, and worship. Spread the word and let’s be encouraged with all God is doing across America.
Each Christ-follower should have an interest
Each Christ-follower should have an interest in what God is doing across our nation and beyond. As we pray together daily for revival personally, revival in the church, and spiritual awakening in the nation, we will have a growing anticipation of God’s working in our nation and beyond. Yes, remember, I personally believe all of that is imperative for us to see the Great Commission escalated to its rightful priority and accelerated to its completion in our generation. To this end I pray, fast, and expect God to work among us. Join me.
For those in Northwest Arkansas, I am speaking at the Bentonville Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast on May 1
If you are not planning to be a part of your city’s prayer activities, join me in Bentonville as I speak at the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast. It begins at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 1. I was so excited to be asked to participate in this gathering that I changed my plans, returning from Washington D. C. one day early. Therefore, if you have not planned to go anywhere, join me. You can purchase tickets here or contact the Bentonville Mayor’s office.
The main thing is to participate somewhere in the National Day of Prayer. Never has the need been greater. The answer is prayer. In reality, extraordinary prayer!
Yours for the Great Commission,

Pray for Arkansas Prayer Gathering, Monday–Tuesday, April 21-22
Approximately 300 pastors and ministers associated with the churches of the Arkansas Baptist Convention are gathering in Little Rock, Arkansas, on Monday, April 21, from 6:00 – 10:00 p.m. and Tuesday Morning, April 22, from 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 noon. Please pray for this gathering. Our focus is gathering to pray in an extraordinary way for spiritual revival personally, revival in the church, and spiritual awakening in America; so that we will see the Great Commission escalated to its rightful priority and accelerated to its completion in our generation. Spiritual revival is the manifested presence of God in our lives and churches. For far too long, the world has seen what we can do; it is time for the world to see what God can do!
Partnership With Our State Convention
God has raised up previous prayer gatherings in Dallas and Atlanta. Through these gatherings, He has moved upon our Executive Director, Dr. Sonny Tucker, in a powerful way. He, along with our Spiritual Awakening Task Force of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, requested I lead one of these efforts in our state capital.
Therefore, with the input of others and under God’s direction, I have planned this major prayer gathering. The state convention has worked diligently taking care of all logistics, for which I am very grateful. The gathering will be held in the Student Building of Geyer Springs Baptist Church in Little Rock. We have approximately 300 registered participants and are still growing.
Julio Arriola, our Global Worship Pastor, and our Worship Staff Team will join me in leading, along with some Arkansas pastors, who will be sharing the Word and setting up our prayer moments. It will be fabulous.
It has been a joy to work with Dr. Sonny Tucker and our state convention in this sacred effort. They are coming alongside of what God is doing, assisting and encouraging. I am most grateful for our partnership with them.
How Can You Pray?
1. Our focus is gathering to pray in an extraordinary way for spiritual revival personally, revival in the church, and spiritual awakening in America; so that we will see the Great Commission escalated to its rightful priority and accelerated to its completion in our generation. Therefore, pray for this to be the place we see the fire fall in our nation. Why not here?
2. Pray for me and other pastors who will be leading with me. Pray for a powerful anointing of God to occur upon us as we lead, share, and pray.
3. Pray for the pastors and ministers who will join us at this gathering. I believe God wants to do something very special. Over 300 people united in prayer can be used powerfully by God.
4. Pray for our Worship Staff Team. They have exhausted themselves over this past weekend, helping us conduct 15 Easter services on five campuses. We all need prayer for strength, focus, energy, and most of all, anointing.
5. Pray for God to come down powerfully in this historic gathering. It is imperative for the attenders, our churches, our state, our nation, and our world.
