NBCI Declares Sunday July 21, 2024 a National Day of Prayer After the Attempted Assassination of Former President Trump

Prayers Bring People Together

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, July 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The National Black Church Initiative (NBCI), a coalition of 150,000 African American and Latino churches which constitute over 27.7 million churchgoers, has declared this Sunday, July 21, 2024, as a national day for Prayer and Unity for every American regardless of race, creed, political affiliation, or sexual orientation. The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is a stark reminder of our humanity and vulnerability to chaos and misunderstanding. The church is here to remind everyone of the need and power of prayer to save our nation.

Today, we join with Christians, Jews, and Muslims across this country asking and pleading with our God to hear our prayers and cries for peace and unity in our political discourse and life.

The Black church's mission is to witness the whole of humanity. We have been bombed, targeted, disrespected, burned, hated, and misunderstood, and yet we love. God has given the Black church a unique mission because of his confidence in us to speak truth to power and to love in the face of hate. This is why we are calling our nation (The United States of America) to pray.

The Rev. Anthony Evans, President of the National Black Church Initiative states ”NBCI has sent over 10,000 emails and letters to all churches, synagogues, and mosques to join with us to pray for our nation's soul. We have a simple message--we all are God's children, including President Trump and we need to start treating each other as such.”
