Pray in One Accord

Story by Lillian Torres

God has promised that powerful things happen when His people come together to pray: “If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:19–20, KJV).

Ellen White reminds us, “The promise is made on condition that the united prayers of the church are offered, and in answer to these prayers there may be expected a power greater than that which comes in answer to private prayer. The power given will be proportionate to the unity of the members and their love for God and for one another” (Manuscript Releases, vol. 9, p. 303).

On Sabbath, August 17, 2024, at 9:30 a.m., hundreds of church members from across the Pennsylvania Conference will gather to pray in one accord at nine upper room locations. Trusting God to powerfully pour out His Spirit like He did on the disciples, we will worship, pray and then spend the afternoon connecting with and praying for people in these nine communities.
