Stonecroft’s Year of Prayer

May: Intercession for the National Day of Prayer and for our Country.

During this special year of prayer, Stonecroft continues its three-year partnership with The National Day of Prayer (NDP). The NDP Task Force mission is to “mobilize prayer in America and to encourage personal repentance and righteousness in the culture.” This mission resonates with Stonecroft’s foundational focus on prayer and our passion to see lives changed by the power of the Gospel.

We will begin this month by praying for NDP events and continue to intercede for the seven centers of power on which the NDP focuses: family, government, business, military, education, church, and media. God has blessed America; let’s gather together to ask for His continued blessing—and for His transforming grace to touch our great nation. In Him we trust!
