Stop and pray with us every Wednesday!
 

“When they heard it, they raised their voices together to God . . .”  Acts 4:24

The Lutheran Youth Organization invites you to stop what you're doing and pray every Wednesday at 4:24pm, no matter what time zone you're in.

Daily conversation with God is important. Based on Acts 4:24, the 4:24 Prayer Campaign is designed to provide youth and others with a time of intentional prayer and reflection. Whether it is lifting silently the concerns of our own hearts or joining together in a unified word, we encourage each other to pray. Thus, at 4:24pm on Wednesdays, no matter what time zone, you are invited to stop and pray.

The Lutheran Youth Organization called on all who gathered in San Antonio for the 2006 ELCA Youth Gathering to pray at 4:24pm every day no matter where they were or what they were doing—and they did! One minute you were part of the noise of thousands, and the next, you could hear a pin drop as all bowed their heads to spend a minute in silent prayer.

The LYO Convention passed a resolution calling upon all of the ELCA to join the young people of this church in the 4:24 Prayer Campaign. Bishop Wm. Chris Boerger of the Northwest Washington Synod said, "I re-learned the power of prayer from these young leaders [at the Gathering]. They have put a challenge before us and they are acting on it. Let's join them."

We invite you to continue in the 4:24 Prayer Campaign and to share it with others.
