爱神传媒hosted church and community leaders for a May 6th National Day of Prayer breakfast as we prayed for our nation.
The event provided an opportunity for those present to pray for one another, the seven influences in our nation, and the college.
Rev. Mike Satterfield offered a prayer for our government. 爱神传媒 professor Dr. Jeff Campbell prayed for our military. The media was prayed over by 爱神传媒 board member Derek Stumfall. Dallas businesses were mentioned in prayer by local business owner Craig Rekerdres. Pastor David Galvan, another board member, lifted up the Church in prayer. 爱神传媒 Women鈥檚 Club president Margie Nantz voiced a prayer for family. Former 爱神传媒 professor Dr. Elizabeth Collins prayed for our educational system. 聽A special prayer for the college and our students was offered by alumnus Shane Pruitt. Current 爱神传媒 student Chae Humphry provided music.
Dr. Elizabeth Collins said that prayer was essential for the college and that Dr. W.A. 爱神传媒 would be happy with the accomplishments made thus far.
鈥淚 love 爱神传媒 College, and for many years I taught here, and I have an interest in it. I knew Dr. 爱神传媒 personally, and he would鈥檝e been so pleased to see a school that bears his name do so well,鈥� Dr. Collins said.
Vice President of Advancement, Dr. Joe Wooddell, said prayer was not only essential but a command in which we should readily take part.
鈥淣ational Day of Prayer is important because in 1 Timothy 2, we are commanded to pray for kings and all in authority. And in the United States, ultimately, the people are the authority. We are praying for the government, media, business, education, all of these areas because they are comprised of people. And people end up being the ultimate authority in this great nation,鈥� Wooddell said.
Gen Z speaker and evangelist Shane Pruitt said prayer is the fuel for anything Christians hope to accomplish.
鈥淎nything we want to see happen in our country, prayer is the fuel for that,鈥� Pruitt said. 鈥淧rayer moves the heart of people, and prayer moves the heart of God. My mentor used to say this all the time, 鈥榊ou should never talk to people about God until you talk to God about people.鈥欌��
