Agoura Hills, CA – April 30, 2021:

On Thursday, May 6, 2021 at 11:00 am PDT Joni and Friends, the leading global ministry sharing hope through hardship to people living with a disability, will be hosting a National Day of Prayer event on Facebook Live. Joni Eareckson Tada, Founder and CEO of Joni and Friends, will be featured during the live event. During the half-hour time of prayer, national topics will be covered with a disability focus.

The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of faith to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. The unanimous passage of the bill establishing the National Day of Prayer as an annual event, signifies that prayer is as important to our nation today as it was in the beginning. The National Day of Prayer belongs to all Americans. It is a day that transcends differences, bringing together citizens from all backgrounds.

The theme for National Day of Prayer this year is Lord Pour Out Your Love, Life, and Liberty, taken from 2 Corinthians 3:17, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

“Right now, it seems as though the earth is filled with darkness and suffering… and that’s all the more reason for us to pray for God’s glory to cover the earth,” says Tada.

To join the live event, follow Joni and Friends on Facebook.
