Annual Global Day of Prayer goes online

BROOKLYN, New York:

The Global Day of Prayer is going online this year. Chief celebrant, Reverend Terry Lee said that, given the prevailing conditions at this time, the annual prayer event will be tailored for the times.

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 22nd Annual White House Prayer will not be held on the grounds of the Ellipsis in Washington, DC. Instead, we will be live streaming the Global Day of Prayer online, via various social media platforms, on Saturday, May 2, from 10 am thru’ 4 pm.”

First started in the summer of 1998, the prayer event anchors a day of reconciliation in the nation’s capital by clergy from different nations and faiths, in prayer for spiritual awakening.

“Many families in America and around the world are experiencing despair, uncertainty, hopelessness and grief,” according to Lee, a Jamaican pastor and respected community activist in central Brooklyn, NY.

Highlights of the day of prayer will include prayer for the nation and the different branches of government and a message from the sitting POTUS, Donald J. Trump.

The event will be streamed live on the following networks:
