National Day of Prayer

Started in 1952 by Rev. Billy Graham, the National Day of Prayer Task Force is a Christian organization that leads and supports the National Day of Prayer across the United States.

Through a network of more than 18,000 volunteer prayer coordinators, we equip and encourage individuals, churches, and communities to unite in public prayer for America.

The mission is to mobilize prayer in every community by providing resources, guidance, and leadership for National Day of Prayer gatherings and ongoing prayer initiatives.

May 7, 2026, the Warrior Run Church had its’ first event.  Prayers were given for families and children, local businesses, local, state & national governments, military, media, school districts, pastors and churches, and praying for our country, citizens and the 250 years in America!
