Subject: Worldwide Hour of Prayer
Think about what might happen if every Seventh-day Adventist all over the world would pray for one hour at the same time and for the same purpose. Can you even imagine how Heaven would be shaken with the prayers of millions of Adventist Christians from over 200 countries and areas, praying to Him in total unity in 1,000 different languages for one hour?
Surely Jesus would rejoice, because at Gethsemane He couldn't even get three disciples to watch and pray for an hour! Now He would hear the prayers of intercession of millions, harmonizing to the tune of His prayer that we would all be one in spirit.
Worldwide Purpose
What is the purpose of this worldwide hour of prayer? Simply because the 59th General Conference Session of the Seventh-day Adventist Church will be held this month in Atlanta, Georgia, from June 23 through July 3.
Many in our church believe this to be the most critical General Conference Session in decades because of the role newly elected officers will play in maintaining the very pillars of our doctrinal foundations. Recently, creation versus evolution has been in the forefront of controversy as a war is waged against God's remnant church, attacking the very bedrock of our beliefs. Now, as never before, we must have God's chosen men and women at the helm of our church, so please join us Wednesday morning, June 16, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. CDT (2:00 p.m. UTC) to pray for God's perfect will at this General Conference Session.
We must make a choice, though-there's either a price to pray, or a price to pay!
