You can still participate in the Grandparents’ Day of Prayer

It’s only 31 days until Grandparents’ Day of Prayer. I hope you have signed up to join us on Grandparents’ Day of Prayer. If you have not, and you have been thinking about it, we hope you will go to christiangrandparenting.net/grandparents-day-of-prayer/,

The Christian Grandparenting Network (CGN) recognizes the desperate moral and spiritual climate our grandchildren must navigate in a world hostile to truth. Satan has launched an aggressive attack on all fronts using media, technology, education, social influences, and political pressures to desensitize and cloud the boundaries of truth and righteousness that hold nations and families together. An urgent call to prayer is crucial in this spiritual battle, for the thief has come to destroy the family unit.

For that reason, Christian Grandparenting Network is asking grandparents around the world to unite in prayer for their grandchildren and their grandchildren’s parents by participating in the Eighth Annual Grandparents’ Day of Prayer. This day of prayer is scheduled to coincide with National Grandparents’ Day, September 9, 2018.

Larry Fowler, Founder and Executive director of Legacy Coalition has endorsed this event and wrote:  “The Legacy Coalition is honored to join the Christian Grandparenting Network in promoting Grandparents Day 2018 as a day devoted to praying for grandchildren. We strongly recommend that in our churches and in our homes, we take this day to encourage grandparents to exercise this powerful spiritual discipline intentionally.”  We commend CGN for their leadership in encouraging grandparents everywhere to participate in the Grandparents’ Day of Prayer, and we will be enthusiastically supporting their efforts.”

Jere Vincent, President, Family Builders Ministries, and Christian Grandparenting Board Member, Durham, NH writes:  “It is with great joy that I have the opportunity to recommend to you the Grandparents’ Day of Prayer to you. Grandparents that have lived their lives in Christ believing that the transforming love of God, the convicting and confirming ministry of the Holy Spirit and power of the Gospel will change their grandchildren’s lives and can impact an entire community. Whether providing full-time care or working on a deeply supportive relationship, grandparents will have influence over a longer period of their grandchildren’s lives than ever before due to increased longevity and better health. I recommend all Grandparents who own a passion for their grandchildren, to join with other Grandparents for this important event.”

Grandparents’ Day of Prayer event is an excellent time to start a grandparenting group in your church if you want to start a prayer group one. The information is available on our website.
