The National Day of Prayer Needs Your Help
We need to raise no less than $500,000 by the end of May and we need your help. Since we began this appeal in February, we have already had over $100,000 given, but we have a long way to go. Let me tell you why this need is imperative.
Prayer precedes every great movement of God! From now through the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 2, we need to do all we can to see a Love One Another movement occur across America. The theme for the 2019 National Day of Prayer is Love One Another, and America needs the love of Jesus Christ in every way. We need YOUR help in order to see this happen. It all begins with you and me.
The National Day of Prayer will become the public voice to advance Jesus’ words as recorded in John 13:34, “Love One Another.” Yes, prayer precedes every great movement of God. This occurred in the first and second great awakenings, as well as the great Prayer Revival of 1857, where one million people came to Christ among thirty million Americans in 1857-1858. In the 1960s and early 1970s, it was prayer that preceded the Jesus Movement across our nation. Each time, these great movements of God literally impacted a generation and shaped our nation in a positive manner. That is why the National Day of Prayer needs you to help us mobilize unified public prayer for America on Thursday, May 2.
We need you to respond today with a gift toward helping us reach and even surpass this $500,000 need by May 30. This is not just a desire my friend, but this is a real, live, existing need. We are right now engaged in towns, cities, and counties, getting ready to mobilize, yes mobilize people to prayer on May 2. From your town and city to Washington, DC, we need this prayer initiative to occur in the highest manner.
Folks, when our culture becomes dark, divided, and in great distress, God rallies his people to prayer first! Then, the movement of God comes! That is why we mobilize unified public prayer for America. That is why we rally tens of thousands of volunteers and events every year. Because we know that when God’s people pray – moves of God come! This is what we must advance!
Will you help? We cannot fully bring this message of love without your prayerful support. Thank you for coming alongside us in making this theme of Love One Another a reality. Thank you for contributing financially to support this ministry. Thank you for your prayer support for our task force of the National Day of Prayer. We cannot do this without you.
Now is the time to pray for America!
Ronnie W. Floyd
President, National Day of Prayer
P.S. As a reminder, we URGENTLY need your support now to spread this message to all Americans. To see this vision through, we need to raise no less than $500,000 by the end of May. Your generous donation today will help us see this vision become reality.
