Grandparenting with a Purpose: Effective Ways to Pray for your Grandchildren
If you believe in the power of prayer you will want to read these endorsements of two grandparents wanting to encourage you to participate this year?
Catherine Jacobs, Executive Director, Pass the Legacy Ministry writes, “Grandparent’s Day is an amazing way to celebrate “GRAND parents”! In such a fast-paced culture, it is wonderful to have this day designated to honor and inspire grand parents. But more importantly, it is a holy calling to all grand parents everywhere to fall to their knees as strong prayer warriors on behalf of their loved ones. If we don’t pray for them, then who will? Will you join grandparents around the world on September 13, in a time of celebration and prayer.”
Phil Miglioratti, Coordinator, PrayNetwork.org writes, “Grandparents of every nationality, ethnicity and economy demonstrate their love for their grandchildren by showing everyone they meet a slew of photos, taking the kids out for ice cream, and buying them untold unnecessary presents. However, with one exception, Grandparents who know Christ also pray for their grandchildren.
Christian grandparents recognize National Grandparents Day as an opportunity to pray for (and we hope, with) their grandchildren. Mark your calendar. Set your minder on your smart phone. Invite others to pray with you on September 13th on Grandparents’ Day of Prayer.”
The mission of Christian Grandparenting Network is to promote effective grandparenting, which is intentional about helping our children andgrandchildren know and follow Christ wholeheartedly.
