BROOKLYN, NY. Thursday, April 16, 2020 --- The Global Day of Prayer (GDoP) is going online this year. Chief celebrant, Reverend Terry Lee said that given the prevailing conditions at this time, the annual prayer event will be tailored for the times.

“Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the 22nd Annual White House Prayer will not be held on the Grounds of the Ellipsis in Washington, DC. Instead, we will be live-streaming the Global Day of Prayer Online, via various Social Media platforms, on Saturday, May 2, from 10.00 am thru’ 4.00 pm.

First started in the summer of 1998, the prayer event anchors a Day of Reconciliation, in the nation’s capital by clergy from different nations and faiths, in prayer for spiritual awakening.

“Many families in America and around the world are experiencing despair, uncertainty, hopelessness and grief,” according to Lee, a Jamaican pastor and respected community activist in central Brooklyn, NY.

Highlights of the day of prayer will include; prayer for the nation and the different branches of government and a message from the sitting POTUS, Donald J. Trump.

“We are asking the White House for a written message of hope, encouragement, and restoration to be read LIVE on May 2nd, 2020.”  

A release from the local organizing committee (LOC) said that the GLOBAL PRAYER FOR THE NATIONS event will be streamed, live on the following networks:
