It’s Prayer Time, AME Church!

It’s Prayer Time, AME Church!

April 12, 2023, is just around the corner when we will all come together for the Connectional Day of Prayer. We have been agreeing in prayer on this day for over a decade, and we will not come down from the wall. As we approach this special day, we ask that you prepare by praying. Pray that God will draw thousands to the gathering, pray that we all will be excited to be a part of such a sacred occasion, and pray that God will meet us with His saving, healing, delivering, anointing, and resurrection power.

The Bishop Sarah Francis Davis Covenant Keepers and Intercessors Prayer Team invites everyone to be a prayerful part of the virtual Connectional Day of Prayer. We are asking the episcopacy, all general officers, all clergy, all laity, and all youth and young adults to share in the prayers for our global Zion. We will also be praying for the Church Universal, current events around the world, governments, and peace and harmony for the world.

The Bishop Sarah Francis Davis Covenant Keepers and Intercessors began in 2007 and was formally recognized in the 2016 Doctrine and Discipline of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (the Discipline). Our leader is the first lady of St. Paul AME Church, the Rev. Dorisalene Hughes of the 5th Episcopal District in Berkley, California. The mission of this ministry is “to conduct spiritual mapping, domestic and international intercession regarding our various bishops, councils, general and connectional officers, events, and issues of our Zion.” [Doctrine and Discipline of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, 2016, p. 213-214.] For more information on the ministry, please see the DDAMEC pages 213-214.

The Connectional Day of Prayer is in accordance with the Discipline, which says to pray for all aspects of our church connection. As such, we will be praying for our Bishops, Connectional Officers, Presiding Elders, Pastors, other Clergy, Lay Leaders, and all the laity of our church. We will be in special prayer for our children, our episcopal and presiding elder districts, annual conferences, all local congregations, the growth and development of the church, the continuous movement of God’s Holy Spirit throughout our Zion, and continued provision of financial resources needed to further God’s Kingdom work through us.

Prayer is always needed to cover all aspects of our church, and your prayers are needed before, during, and after this special time set aside for the AME Church to touch and agree for God’s Spirit to abide with us and in us with continued love, grace, mercy, and peace.

We look forward to your presence with us on April 12, 2023, for our AME Church Connectional Day of Prayer. Save the date! May God Bless and keep you all until we meet on our day of prayer.
