I am excited about the upcoming 40 Days of Prayer for the United Methodist Church. This idea was first mentioned by Ben Simpson in An Open Letter to Young United Methodist Leaders. I am excited about this movement because I believe that it will:

• Bring clarity of God’s vision for individuals and communities
• Be a common effort that will lead to different types of renewal in different places across the denomination.
• Become a catalyst for a movement of young leaders in the UMC across the nation
• Help me to be more intentional about prayer for leaders in the denomination.

I am looking forward to this time of prayer to shaping my vision for the United Methodist Church.

Will you join me in prayer?
