During our promotion of the Grandparents’ Day of Prayer, many people have indicated an interested in starting a Grandparents@Prayer prayer group. They see the need to continue upholding their grandchildren with prayer in our troubled world, where a godly lifestyle is challenged, especially as they go back to school.
You may ask what is a Grandparents@Prayer (G@P) prayer group.
- The purpose is to call grandparents around the world to intentionally and regularly gather to intercede in prayer for their grandchildren, children and communities.
- The goal is to encourage and provide resources that help grandparents become intentional prayer warriors on behalf of their grandchildren through personal discipline of intercessory prayer in the battle against the enemy.
- G@P groups consist of small or large groups of people meeting once or twice a month for approximately one hour at a designated location for guided prayer and fellowship.
As grandparents, we can make a difference in the world by praying regularly and deliberately for our grandchildren and their parents. It is our responsibility to powerfully touch the lives of another generation for eternity through prayer.
I can testify that joining in prayer with other grandparents for my grandchildren is a blessing for me.

Will you join grandparents worldwide to get involved in a Grandparents@Prayer group?

Lillian,
There are three (that I know of) GrandParents Prayer Group in the North
Dallas area. Two are church affiliated and one is independent.
The group that we now lead is GrandParents In Prayer, a Home Group of Valley Creek Church. We meet twice a month with one-get-to-gether being social . . . with prayer always present.
Yesterday at our meeting we observed and participated in the National Grand Parents Day Of Prayer.
Of the other two group, which my wife and I started, one is affiliated with Covenant Church. Both have about 24-26 members.
I have provided them with your information and trust they have contacted you?
