7 Days of Prayer
Beginning Sunday, September 29, we are praying for seven days, 2 times per day (7am & 7 pm) for 14 minutes. Choose the time that best works for you (7am or 7pm) and meet at the cross beside the sanctuary. We will pray for 14 minutes at each time. 7 Days of Prayer is for First Baptist to plead with God to bring a revival to every heart during our Inspire Revival with Ken Forrester. It is based on 2 Chronicles 7:14: "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." We need you to join us for 7 Days of Prayer for Revival.
Sunday, September 29: Pray for Personal Revival
Ask God to search your heart and reveal any areas that need repentance and renewal. Pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in your life. Ask God to send a revival that begins in you and spreads to the Community of Dillon. Ask God to bring lasting revival to First Baptist Church Dillon, that the work He starts would be sustained by His power and lead to transformation in the church and the community. (Psalm 51:10, James 4:8, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalm 85:6)
