The Museum of the Bible will host the National Prayer Altar this Thursday, October 30th, at 6 p.m. This event brings Americans together both in-person and online, aiming to unite the U.S. church and bring healing to a divided country.
Pastors James and Sharon Ward have been leading this effort since its inception in 2020. This year’s prayer leaders include prominent faith figures such as Lisa Brunson, Phil Cappuccio, Brannon Carnes, Gary Hamrick, Barry and Heather Moore, Gordon Robertson, Tony Suarez, and Hannah C. Ward.
“At this year’s National Prayer Altar, we are calling every American to boldly declare our nation’s official motto, ‘In God we trust,’” said James Ward. “We’re inviting everyone to join us in praying for our nation to humbly return to our rightful place under God.”
The Wards hope this event will spark a national spiritual breakthrough and transformation. They caution against the political, racial, and ideological divisions that currently threaten the nation. “At this moment, people of faith must come together and pray as never before to preserve our nation, to resist the forces of evil, and to see America turn to God,” they emphasized.
