Dear Prayer Team Member,

You and your faithfulness are the reason we continue in ministry each day. You are the prayer team. We thank God each and every day that you are our prayer partner.

As you continue, step into the 250 Vigil--center your heart and join the watch. Your Daily Prayer Briefing follows.

The 250 Vigil

Set your alarm for your chosen time today. Set your timer. Center your heart. Join the watch. Together we pray.

Day 3 - The Heart of the Church

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16

Suggested Prayer Topics:

  • For America's churches and their leaders to shine as faithful reflections of God's light
  • For genuine unity and love to flourish among believers
  • For a fresh movement of spiritual renewal within congregations

Close Your 2:50: Shape Your people, Lord, and carry forward what has been prayed today. Let Your Church stand as You intend.
