“STILL GOOD NEWS!”
The Bishop Sarah Francis Davis Covenant Keepers and Intercessors (BSFDCK and I) has led the African Methodist Episcopal Church’s Annual Connectional Day of Prayer for twelve years. This annual day takes place on April 13th with a one-hour prayer covering. There have been domestic and international subjects covered during this one hour of praying and exaltation to include children’s concerns and matters for our schools, political leadership, religious leadership covering, and oppression of people domestically and internationally, human trafficking, injustices, profiling, discrimination, and many other prayer concerns.
It is very important to share that the “Good News” in this article is that our BSFDCK and I will continue to pray on the first or second Monday at midnight of each month, and we are planning to have another African Methodist Episcopal Church Connectional Day of Prayer for April 13, 2023. One might say that this is quite early to share this date, but preparing for something so wonderful is never too early. We should be getting ready for another Connectional Day of Prayer to gather in prayer with the Connectional Church and exalt our God together in unity, spirit, and in truth.
The Connectional Day of Prayer is a moment when each of our Twenty Episcopal Districts can prepare by submitting to prayer and fasting in preparation for April 13, 2023. Our Department’s Staff, General Officer, and the Commission’s Chairperson are fully aware that many of our Episcopal Districts have already supported the Connectional Day of Prayer through localized prayer calls. We are proud o these and other types of gatherings and welcome any newly established prayer groups or teams to let us know what you are doing in your specific Episcopal District or Local Conferences.
You can find more information about the Connectional Day of Prayer on the new Department of Church Growth, Development, and Evangelism website: www.amechurchgrowth.org. We encourage everyone to visit the website and to download the department’s new app. To God be the glory!
