Praying for HTG Summit

It was my turn. We have a 24 hour prayer vigil to support the upcoming HTG Summit that begins Monday morning. Many of us volunteered to pray for 30 minutes to lift up the event to God.

When I accepted the invitation, I wasn't exactly sure how I would pray for 30 minutes. The first 25 items were provided by the organizer, Chris Chirgwin. I added the last five. I then spent one minute praying over each line.

May God honor each and every prayer request as 47 other people lift them up to Him. If you are reading this and would care to offer your prayer support, please do. Everything you need is included in the lines below. Even if you don't know, He does!


1. That God will be glorified in all that happens
2. That attendees will be protected, particularly from illness and harm. Last quarter we had one member that had to go to the hospital and a number that became sick after returning home.
3. For the leadership team and staff that they will be filled with patience and joy as they serve
4. Daily devotions and testimony time at 6:30 on M/Tu/Th and F
