Calling all Christians in Troy - let's pray for our city.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

In recent months (and years), our city has experienced a lot of violence, a lot of tragedy, and a lot of injustice. It is time for the cloud that is over Troy to lift. It is time for us of all different denominations to join together and with one voice, pray for God to change our city.

"Violence shall no more be heard in your land, devastation or destruction within your borders; you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise. The sun shall be no more your light by day; nor for brightness shall the moon give you light; but the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory." Isaiah 60:18-19

We're asking each person to take a few minutes of each day of October during the noon hour and pray for Troy, wherever you are. Daily prayer topics will be posted here; feel free to add others.

Finally, I want to challenge you to spread the word in your own network of Christians in Troy - let's get the whole city praying; as many people as possible. Please ask your churches, your Christian friends, small groups, any other Christians or churches you know in Troy to join together in this.

September 21: Hope instead of Despair


"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." -- Jeremiah 29:11

Let's pray today against the lie that Troy can never change -- that it will always be the depressed city, the violent city, the lousy city. Troy is God's city. Let's pray for his living hope, his perfect peace, his eternal glory to shine in the hearts and faces of every person in this city. Let's believe the broken places are loved and will built up, even as our Father will rebuild broken lives through the mercy of his Son and the power of the Holy Spirit.
