Why do we pray for leaders?
Our Mission
We believe leaders matter.
The decisions, character, priorities, and actions of one leader can influence the lives of many people. Leadership carries consequences far beyond the person who holds the position.
We see this throughout Scripture.
“Everything rises and falls on leadership.”
— Dr. John Maxwell

Adam's disobedience brought sin and death into the world, affecting generations beyond himself.

1 Samuel 18:6-11; 22:17-19
David
David's sin involving Bathsheba and Uriah resulted in the death of Uriah and other soldiers.
2 Samuel 11:14-17
David's census
David's census brought devastating consequences upon the people he led.
2 Samuel 24:1-17

Moses
And Moses' obedience to God's call became part of the deliverance of an entire nation from Egypt.

These examples remind us that leadership matters—and therefore, praying for leaders matters.
So what should we do?
PRAY.
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”
— 1 Timothy 2:1-2

ALL MEANS ALL.
Every faith and no faith
