Week of Prayer & Fasting for Nigeria
Delegates at the 2014 Annual Conference passed a resolution that, among other things, calls us as people of faith to come along side our sisters and brothers through prayer and fasting the week of August 17-24. In order to support and encourage you as we join together in prayer, Church of the Brethren staff have gathered resources on Brethren.org. There you will find a collection of news stories about EYN, guides for fasting and praying psalms of lament, and a form to signal your commitment to pray for an hour during the week. For resources and more information, go to to http://www.brethren.org/partners/nigeria/week-of-prayer-and-fasting.html
