The Museum of the Bible will host the National Prayer Altar this Thursday, October 30th, at 6 p.m. This significant event brings Americans together both in-person and online, aiming to unite the U.S. church and bring healing to a divided country.
Pastors James and Sharon Ward, who began this effort in 2020, lead the event with a vision for national spiritual breakthrough and transformation. Prayer leaders for this year’s gathering include faith leaders Lisa Brunson, Phil Cappuccio, Brannon Carnes, Gary Hamrick, Barry and Heather Moore, Gordon Robertson, Tony Suarez, and Hannah C. Ward.
“At this year’s National Prayer Altar, we are calling every American to boldly declare our nation’s official motto, ‘In God we trust,’” said James Ward. “We’re calling every American to join us in praying for our nation to humbly return to our rightful place under God.”
The Wards emphasize the urgency of this moment, warning of political, racial, and ideological divisions that threaten the nation. “People of faith must come together and pray as never before to preserve our nation, to resist the forces of evil, and to see America turn to God,” they stated.
James and Sharon Ward lead INSIGHT Church near Chicago. For a full interview with James Ward, be sure to check out today’s episode of the 700 Club.
