National Day of Prayer Michigan

What a great planning meeting!

2012-02-06T13:37:00.000-08:00

Oh, we had a wonderful, exciting, productive meeting in Lansing this past Saturday. What a fantastic Michigan Task Force the Lord has brought together. I'm feeling mighty blessed...mighty blessed, indeed!

It's going to be a capital Capitol event! Yes, it is! And I hope many of you will be able to attend.

Feel free to RSVP on our Facebook page and share the event with others. I'll be sure to update you as plans unfold [click here].

Please note we have a new Paypal button to the right. As you can imagine, events of this size require resources: the service of good people and and the finances of good people, too.

In addition to things like programs and sound equipment rental, there are many administrative expenses involved in running a non-profit organization. Anything you can do to help support this 61st Observance of the National Day of Prayer would be appreciated.

Many blessings!
Lori Wagner
Michigan State Coordinator

One Nation Under God!

Michigan Coordinators! I hope your planning for the National Day of Prayer is underway! The details are coming together for the Lansing Capitol event. I'll post more as they unfold.

Remember, this year's theme: "One Nation Under God!"

And the accompanying verse: "Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord!" based on Psalm 33:12.

My Michigan coordinators, remember to post your events at www.ndptf.org.

If I can assist you in any way, please let me know.

My Prayers for Detroit

Detroit is a national leader and what happens in Detroit impacts our nation. With that in mind, I did a bit of research and am praying the following:

As "MOTOWN" released a sound that reached across the world, I pray that our united petitions will release a sound that shreds the kingdom of darkness and dispenses a light that ripples from our region to others.

As the "MOTOR CITY" mobilized the world, may we humble ourselves before the Lord and seek Him for healing in our land...an anointed revival that will revitalize our communities and roll out some new and wonderful things for the Kingdom of God!

Also, I am praying in agreement with Detroit's two mottos (on the city's flag):

1. "We hope for better things"

2. "It will rise from the ashes."

A Bit of History...that hopefully repeats itself...

A fire in 1805 caused the entire city of Detroit to burn with the exception of one building. In the center of the Detroit city flag, a woman on the left weeps over the city's destruction, while a woman on the right gestures to the new city that will rise in its place.

We did it before and we can do it again!

Pray with me that a holy spiritual fire falls on the great city of Detroit that changes the very landscape and brings new life to our city and beyond...in the mighty name of Jesus!

More prayer points and history to come! Let's connect on facebook and twitter...

Blessings,

Lori Wagner

2011-08-27T13:06:00.000-07:00

Please consider joining us at the Capitol or hosting your own…
National, State-by-State, Bible Read-A-Thon
Saturday, September 10, 2011
4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., EST

INITIATIVE:
In preparation for the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the National Day of Prayer Task Force has asked its State Coordinators to organize teams that will work in tandem to collectively read the entire Bible aloud in one day across our great nation.

INFORMATION:
• Events are to be organized in the capitol cities of the 50 United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (a.k.a. “The 52”) in which each state or territory covers an assigned portion of Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments.
• In addition to the capitol cities, any city may also develop a team to read the Scriptures assigned to their states in their local communities.
• The reading of the assigned segments would ideally be done by a team and estimated to take approximately two hours or less.

INSTRUCTIONS (state or city level):
• Select at least one leader (Site Captain).
• Secure a location following any necessary protocols/paperwork.
• The Site Captain is responsible to form a team of readers (amount at his/her discretion, although ten would cover the selected portions of Scripture). This informal event is open to families, children, ministers and Christian friends who will help speak forth the Word of God.
• Participants may bring their own Bibles; however, Site Captains should have one on hand.
• The entire Bible will be read in “The 52” declaring God’s Holy Word collectively over our nation and territories.

INSTALLMENTS (for Michigan):
Books of the Law: Exodus 32:7-35:21
Books of History: 2 Samuel 20:15-24:25
Writings: Job 29:1-29:25
Poetry: Psalms 65:1-67:6
Wisdom: Proverbs 14:1-14:19

Michigan NDP Highlights (2009)

2009-05-16T18:22:00.000-07:00

Our 15th annual Troy NDP event went off perfectly. Getting a late start was no deterrent to the work of the Lord. Through his help, and the assistance of many people, the event was filled with prayer. Even though weather was threatening, approximately 175 people attending and the rain held off till the last 5 minutes. One of the highlights was the involvement of some non-Christians who came to see how we prayed to the Lord. They stayed the whole time observing the event. With the Lord's assistance maybe we turned some hearts. We will be forwarding the video and some pictures on a DVD and CD as well and you can determine how to use them. - Robin B.

In Ann Arbor we had to move our downtown noontime event from City Hall to the Federal Building this year because of construction outside of City Hall. We also had rain begin just as the event got underway at 12:15 pm on Thursday May 7th. However, there was a small, 25 or so, hardy group of prayer warriors from several area churches gathered.

We took shelter under the canopy at the front entrance of the Federal Building in downtown Ann Arbor at Fifth and Liberty Streets. We prayed for our national, state and local officials and issues largely in that order. We ended our time a little past our posted ending time of 12:45 pm with a rousing chorus of Great is thy Faithfulness. We announced that we would gather again next year on the first Thursday of May for our National Day of Prayer either at City Hall (if the construction is completed,) or back at the Federal Building again. - Pastor Mike Frison, Knox Presbyterian Church

It was such a blessing that "the body" of Christ in our area came together for this prayer walk. There were 50 of us and we went from a church, to the hospital, to City all, to the High School and then to the Catholic Church hall for lunch. - Nancy W., Carson City, MI

# # #

We pray in our sanctuary (St. Luke Lutheran Church, Haslett, MI). The lights are dimmed, the altar candles lit, and we have Christian music softly playing in the background.

My highlight was seeing a dozen people silently praying in the darkened sanctuary.

# # #

Our NDP event in Ferrysburg found six of us meeting at the Ferrysburg City Hall and praying for the country and leaders from 12:20 p.m. - 12:40 p.m. There are four churches in Ferrysburg and we had three represented in our group with two pastors. It was a powerfilled time. Blessings, Margery Lembke, coordinator

A CALL TO CORPORATE PRAYER

God has laid it upon our hearts to call the people of the United States of America to prayer on behalf of our nation.

In the inspiration and tradition of the Fulton Street Revival of 1857 we are calling for a grassroots movement of prayer around the cities of America for the welfare of this nation. It is believed by many that the future of America lies in the balance of the upcoming election of a new president of the United States of America.
