As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we have been invited to join other Christians around the city to unite our voices in prayer. The invitation from “Pray SA” is for “All people … to pray for San Antonio and South Texas and seek God in this time of turmoil, uncertainty, and change.”
On August 9th and 16th, at 7:00 pm in the parking lot of the Freeman Coliseum, Christians will join together “with one voice to pray, wait, listen and respond to God.” In person attendance is limited, so you must register for the event. https://www.praysa.org/home The event will be streamed so you can also attend virtually at home.
UnicitySA is an interfaith alliance in San Antonio in which members of the Church have been invited to participate. UnicitySA has endorsed a call by Max Lucado, and Christian leaders in our city to come together in a time of prayer. The Video Invitation
In 2 Chronicles 7:14 we learn: “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.” The organizers of this event have said: Let’s offer prayers of repentance and humility, waiting on Jesus and speaking words of life over our city… Facilitators will guide us, using Scripture and prayer prompts. This is not a preaching or political event. It’s not a concert. It’s not about one person or group – simply Jesus!”
