Many Children don’t have need Praying Grandparents

There are many Grandparents in the world whose grandchildren are in urgent need of prayer.  The purpose of the Grandparents Prayer Movementof the Christian Grandparenting Network and the Legacy Coalition is to gather grandparents worldwide who see the urgency to pray intentionally; our grandchildren and their parents are facing difficulty making sense of chaotic cultural changes and respond with compassion to the next generation. 

Will you join the many grandparentswho have already committed to pray regularly for their grandchildren and their parents?Imagine the impact on our worldif millions of grandparents are intentionally praying for their grandchildren and their parents?

Pray for the friends of your grandchildren and your neighbor children. They may not have praying grandparents and may be living in difficult circumstances.

Children Need Praying Grandparents

Recently I visited with a young mother with four small children, all under six years of age, who attend the church I attend. She is a very busy, stressed young mother; with no family to help with the children, her husband being in a demanding career. I shared with her about my passion to encourage grandparents to pray for their grandchildren. She shared with me that her children do not have grandparents praying for them. As a result, I asked her to give me the names and ages of her children and I would pray for them. It challenges me to think there are children in our own churches and among our acquaintances who do not have the support of praying grandparents. 

If you are already participating we want to thank you for your participation and would like to ask you to share with your friends about making September a focused month of prayer for their grandchildren and their parents. 

You will want to go to www.christiangrandparenting.net/prayer and sign up for the 30-day Prayer Challenge, if you have not already.
