We would ask you to join us in prayer. Our vision is to have 50 churches and 5,000 people praying with us for the Lehigh Valley and that people of the Valley would come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and their personal Savior. Also, we ask specific prayer for:

1. WJCS to continue broadcasting the Gospel of Christ.

2. Both our translators in Bangor and New Tripoli have been approved by the FCC and are operating. However, at both locations we are not at 100 % efficiency. Pray that we could overcome the obstacles that are preventing us from providing an clear broadcast signal.

3. Pray for the ministry of WJCS to be a source in the Valley and beyond that people could hear the Gospel of Christ on a continual basis.

WHY PRAY ? We need to pray because the Bible commands us to (Matthew 6:5; Romans 12:12; 1 Thess 5:17), Prayer is how we communicate with God and participate in His works. It grants us the privilege of experiencing God, keeps us humble before Him, strengthens the bonds between believers and can succeed where other means have failed.

WHY PRAY FOR OUR NATION? God answers the prayers of His people, and in 2 Chronicles 7:14, He specifically emphasizes the importance of praying for our nation. Ask the Lord to bring abour spiritual renewal across America. Pray that people will turn to Him and seek His will for our land.

WHY PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS? The Bible instructs us to pray for “all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:2). Pray that our leaders will seek God and endeavor to serve Him in a manner that is worthy of their positions of influence.

WHY PRAY FOR OUR COMMUNITIES? Intercessory prayer has the power to change the place where you live. It is time that we took back our communities for the sake of God’s Kingdom and covered them with our humble petitions. Pray for your own city or town, asking God to bless your efforts to reclaim your neighborhood in His name.

WHY PRAY FOR OUR FAMILIES? God designed the family to be a place of love, support, spiritual gowth and, of course, prayer. Now is the time to pray for this holy institution, which is currently under attack in our country. Ask the Lord to bring peace, guidance and healing to families that are struggling every day.

WHY PRAY FOR OUR YOUTH? The youth of today will grow up to lead Twenty-first-century America. Each day conflicting moral standards, violence and the latest media scandal bombard them. In the midst of this turmoil, God is raising up and army of young people. Ask the Lord to make them bold and steadfast in their faith.
