During the week of January 7–14, 2007, Brethren in Christ congregations all over North America will be united in prayer. An outgrowth of the denominational vision for fervent prayer—that we will “pray and fast for the life-changing grace of God to renew the church”—the church-wide week of prayer and fasting has been a staple of denominational life since 1994.

Each year, prayer assemblies and concerts of prayer unite multiple congregations, and many churches plan special prayer meetings to start the New Year off in earnest conversation with God.

Join in the week of prayer—online

Developed especially for this week of churchwide prayer, Prayers of Abundance, a collection of daily devotionals written by BIC pastors, is available online. So wherever you are—at work, at home, or at school—you can bookmark the page and read the entry for each day. Read Prayers of Abundance (English | Spanish)
