Dear Prayer Team Member,

Thank you for faithfully lifting up our leaders, churches, country, and communities in prayer. Your dedication is a beautiful reminder that God still moves through his people. The prayers of the righteous avail much.

While we are currently navigating some significant funding challenges due to the unexpected passing of a major supporter, we have decided it is simply too important to cancel this tradition. (if you haven't heard this news - please read President Jim Bolthouse's letter to all members [here].)

This week, we are preparing to celebrate President Trump's milestone 80th birthday We invite you to participate before this weekend, as his birthday is Sunday, June 14. You can:

  • Send a personal birthday message of encouragement to let him know you are praying for him
  • Give a special birthday gift to support your prayer team during this important season

Your prayers and participation will be a meaningful blessing. Get started with your message [here].

Help grow the Presidential Prayer Team! Invite your friends and family to send a birthday greeting to the President. Share on social media and send them to WhiteHouseBirthday.org

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 23 - Rural America and Small Communities

  • For churches, families, and neighbors in small communities to be strengthened in Christ and rooted in truth
  • For God to awaken faithful witness, perseverance, and visible signs of His presence in overlooked places

Close Your 2:50: Be present in every corner of our nation, God. Let Your faithfulness remain strong there.

THE DAILY PRAYER BRIEFING

President Donald Trump will be at the 2026 NBA Finals Game 3 between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs tonight at Madison Square Garden.

President Trump said he had accepted an invitation from the Knicks' owner to attend the game, and suggested he might go to Game 4 as well.

This is the first time a sitting president has attended the NBA Finals. Prior to his involvement in politics, President Trump attended Knicks games semi-regularly over many years as a resident of New York City.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us ...
  • For President Trump as he supports and highlights professional sports in America.
  • For protection for the president as he travels to New York and attends the NBA Finals game.
  • For wisdom for the president and members of his Cabinet as they consider the various issues facing the nation.
