Local residents participating in National Religious Broadcasters' 40 Days of Prayer
Article provided
Six weekly, community-wide non-denominational prayer sessions are planned in support of a national 40 Days of Prayer that seeks to strengthen God’s role in the nation’s affairs.
The first gathering is Wednesday, September 8, at 10 a.m. at the Columbia City United Methodist Church, 605 Forest Parkway, in the chapel on the upper level.
Co-leaders Terry Goodwin and Roberta Metzger encourage participation by all who are interested and whose schedules permit.
“If My People Pray” is the title of the 40-day mission of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), which provides a daily meditation with a different focus on its website or at: http://ifmypeopleprayusa.org The project is based on the scripture from II Chronicles 7:14.
“Many people believe there is an awakening happening in our country,” says Metzger. “We want to be a part of it, joining in asking God’s forgiveness and favor on our nation and its people. We’re hoping to see another headline like the one published recently in a Fort Wayne newspaper about a revival underway in Columbia City. That one was about our football team, but we’d like there to be news of a spiritual revival as well.”
The Christian broadcasting organization says family, societal, national and international issues are spiraling downward at a serious rate.
“These issues seem too complex to correct … underlying causes of all these problems are spiritual, and only God can make things right,” the NRB concludes.
