Thanks to the Heroes of the National Day of Prayer: Our Volunteers Who Make the Vision Walk
I am so thankful for the men and women across towns, cities, and counties in America who volunteer with the National Day of Prayer. They are the heroes who make this vision walk. Our missional vision is mobilizing united public prayer for America, and the men and women who volunteer their time and contribute in any way are the heroes of this movement.
People who love to pray for America and lead their communities to do so are a rarity. They are often overlooked and underappreciated. To each of you who volunteer: Without you, this would not and could not happen.
From our national area leaders to our state coordinators to our city, town, and county leaders, and to each person who greets at the door, writes a support check, secures a venue, stands in prayer, extends an invitation, writes the story, works social media, asks a friend to join, and the person who talks about all that is happening on Thursday, May 2 with others… one thousand thank yous!
Now is the Time to Lead,
Ronnie W. Floyd
