SCOTTSDALE, Az. -- Twenty years of The Presidential Prayer Team's daily calling of Americans to pray will culminate on Saturday, September 18.
The prayer team was born out of the urgency the nation experienced on September 11, 2001. As part of recognizing the work of the ministry and God's faithfulness, they launched the 2021 National Week of Prayer and Renewal (www.pray.team/prayerweek) on the anniversary of 9/11. Each day of this week of prayer has its own prayer focus. It began on 9/11 by calling for prayer and recognition for all first responders. Members of the prayer team across the nation submitted names of friends and families who serve to be included in the prayers of thousands of others.
The week's prayer focus differs each day. The schedule for prayer is:
- September 11 – First Responders
- September 12 – Military and Veterans
- September 13 – the Nation's executive and Judicial Branches
- September 14 – The Legislative Branch and state leaders
- September 15 – The nation's religious freedoms
- September 16 – Churches and church leaders
- September 17 – The country's future generations
- September 18 – For one another and all praying Americans.
The prayer team's opportunities and resources for prayer are available to all PRAYING AMERICANS. Visit www.presidentialprayerteam.org to get started.
