ST. LOUIS – Never has prayer been more needed than now, Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) President Ronnie Floyd said in his recent announcement about a prayer gathering scheduled during the Tuesday evening session of the SBC Annual Meeting, June 14.
In an April 18th announcement on his blog (www.ronniefloyd.com), Floyd said that the entire Tuesday evening session will be devoted to prayer.
Floyd listed the components of this year’s “National Prayer Gathering”:
• “Spiritual leadership: We will pray for pastors and spiritual leaders in America … their lives, leadership, families, and ministries.”
• “Revived Churches: We will pray for our churches in America … for racial unity in our churches and nation, and for the dry bones of spiritual life in our churches to come alive. Our God can turn any church around!”
• “Nationwide & Global Awakening: We will pray for America… where we are in our nation spiritually, morally, politically, and for the next Great Spiritual Awakening in America as well as an explosion of the Gospel to bring about global awakening.”
Southern Baptists unable to attend the prayer gathering, Floyd said, may participate via a live-streaming video that will be available on www.sbc.net.
