Dear Prayer Team Member,

This is our first Ministry Letter of 2026, and it comes at a pivotal moment: America turns 250 and your prayer team celebrates 25 years of service this year. Prayer has always been the foundation of our nation's strength--now is the time to renew that commitment.

READ NOW in A SACRED LEGACY OF PRAYER.

Thank you for praying with us. Here is your Daily Prayer Briefing.

THE DAILY PRAYER BRIEFING

President Donald Trump is meeting with Prime Minister Robert Fico of Slovakia at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, today.

The two leaders are expected to sign a business agreement to advance the building of a new U.S.-designed nuclear reactor in Slovakia. All their prior reactors were Russian-designed. Energy Secretary Chris Wright met with Prime Minister Fico on Friday to sign a deal "on cooperation in the field of civil nuclear energy" between the U.S. and Slovakia.

President Trump's administration has been urging Slovakia to end its dependence on Russian energy. The reliance on Russia's natural gas and nuclear energy has provided revenue for the ongoing war in Ukraine.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For President Trump as he pursues energy deals with nations and seeks to end the war in Ukraine.
  • For Secretary Wright as he advances civil nuclear energy development at home and abroad.
  • For wisdom for the president and members of his Cabinet as they evaluate options to increase national security and end international conflicts.
