"I lift my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth."

Psalm 121:1-2 (NIV)

Pray for God's reign of abundant blessings on the many tasks of the convention planning.

Pray for God to shower His grace as he provides strength, wisdom and joy to all the committees in their convention work.

Pray that all those who are touched by the convention will know the joy that flows from God through His river of righteousness provided by His Son.
