.UNION-WIDE CALL TO PRAYER AND FASTING
March 3, 4, and 5, 2010

Recognizing the need of God’s Spirit to guide, supply, protect, and intervene in our hearts, our homes, our churches, our communities of the world, and our schools and colleges, the Atlantic Union administration and prayer ministries directors are appealing to the entire union membership to participate in this special three days of Prayer and Fasting emphasis.

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)

                               If my people, which are called by my name,
                               Shall humble themselves and pray,
                               And seek my face,
                               And turn from their wicked ways;
                                                                            Then will I hear from heaven,
                                                                            And will forgive their sin,
                                                                            And will heal their land.
