Main Program begins at 6:00pm
Youth Concert Immediately Following

On Thursday, May 1, 2008 our city will embark on one of the most important acts of service to our city, our country, and our families. We will join an estimated 50,000 prayer gatherings across the nation. We will assemble to pray on the north lawn of the Liberty Memorial in beautiful downtown Kansas City, Missouri. 
Psalm 28:7 affirms, "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him and I am helped."

"Prayer:  America's Strength and Shield"

is the theme for the National Day of Prayer. Now is the time for sincere, urgent, and united prayer for our city and our nation.

We have been planning a wonderful event that will be instructive, interactive, and engaging as we gather to pray and honor Almighty God with heartfelt prayers for our nation, our city, and our families.

One of the most exciting features of the 2008 National Day of Prayer in Kansas City will be a Prayer Walk for Families and Children. From 4:00-6:30 pm families can walk through stations that will include public servants and other representatives that need our prayer. Here is a sampling of what we will include in the prayer walk:

• Firemen in uniform with a Fire Truck •  Policemen in uniform with a Police Car  •  Paramedics in uniform with an Ambulance • Military Servicemen in uniform •  Schools •  The Church •  Media/Entertainment •   Families

And many others. . .

Through the prayer walk, families will have an opportunity to read a storyboard at each station with "Prayer Requests" listed for each representative. Children and families can meet a fireman or police officer and lift a prayer of protection and strength for each. Then, participants can proceed through the stations to a replica of the "Wailing Wall" in Israel. Here, prayer requests and praises can be placed on the wall for all to see. Prayer mentors will pray over the requests and will stand believing that God hears and answers these requests.

The main program will begin at 6:00 PM with Lynda Randle, special guest artist and Dove Award gospel singer. Area pastors and special guests will lead in worship, prayer, and repentance for our nation, city, and families. We are also working on plans for a gospel concert immediately following the event to encourage our young people.  Watch our website for updates!  www.ndpkc.org

Please plan to bring your church family to the event.  We would love to see the parking lots filled with church busses and vans from across the metropolitan area!

For more information, please see our website.  Under the "Fundraising" tab, you can open our beautiful brochure that has further information regarding the event.

To God be the Glory!
