Prayer… America’s Hope
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” Psalm 33:12
Come join concerned Christians from all over the county, “… one in spirit and purpose…” of Philippians 2 to pray for our cities, county, state, and nation – acknowledging our dependency on Almighty God. This is a time of challenge and opportunity for Broward County and the United States. We recognize God’s desire for unity in the Body of Christ, and we also stand together with friends and neighbors as one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
As Christians, we must demonstrate God’s love in everything we do, while also being intentional in our prayer for “open doors” to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We join together in seeking peace and well-being for our cities, encouraging everyone to reach their God-given potential in vocation, family, and community.
In order to be faithful stewards of this prayer breakfast, we ask that you submit your commitments to attend (along with payment) as soon as possible. We need to receive registration and payment by April 27th. Please help us by responding early.
Date: Thursday May 3, 2012
Time: 7:00am – 9:00am
Cost: $17 per Person
$170 per Table for 10
