This sacred hour, taking place every Tuesday from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM E.A.T., offers a unique opportunity for believers to come together virtually, unite their hearts, and seek divine intervention, guidance, and empowerment.
This initiative is rooted in the belief that prayer is a powerful tool for transformation, healing, and strengthening one's relationship with God. The prayer altar is a place of refuge, where people can find solace, peace, and spiritual rejuvenation in the midst of life's challenges. It encourages participants to bring their personal petitions, concerns, and prayers for loved ones, communities, and nations, trusting in God's ability to intervene in every situation.
The online nature of the prayer altar allows anyone, regardless of location, to join in. This accessibility ensures that believers from across the globe can be part of this dynamic time of prayer, standing together in faith and support. The prayers are led with deep reverence, and the atmosphere is one of unity, love, and faith. The initiative also serves as a reminder that the power of prayer is not confined to physical spaces but transcends boundaries, connecting people through shared belief and purpose.
