Gulf States Holds 20th Annual Prayer Summit
Prayer is the breath of the soul, an invitation to live a life of constant communion with Christ Jesus, surrendering every need, wish, and worry to Him with the assurance that He hears. Church members from the Gulf States Conference, along with others from beyond the Conference borders, gathered in Talladega, Ala., August 16-18, 2024, for the 20th Annual Prayer Summit. With the theme “Prayer, Our Lifeline to God,” the summit brought together believers from across the Conference for a time of deep spiritual reflection and renewal.
This year’s summit was blessed with the presence of renowned speakers Ivor Myers, pastor, and Ellsworth S. Quinton, elder, who shared powerful messages on the transformative power of prayer. Their words resonated deeply with attendees, reminding them of the importance of maintaining a vibrant prayer life. The event was also graced by the uplifting music of Rick Quinton, whose ministry in song helped to create an atmosphere of worship and reverence.
Mary Nelson, Gulf States prayer ministries coordinator, expressed the deep spiritual impact of the event: “Every time we gather for a prayer summit, lives are transformed. This year was no different. From the very beginning to the end, the Holy Spirit’s presence was palpable. It’s always hard to leave because the experience is so rich with God’s presence.”
Brian Danese, Gulf States president, reflected on the significance of prayer in the life of the church: “Prayer is not just an activity; it’s our lifeline to God. This summit reminded us of the power of prayer to unite us, strengthen our faith, and guide us through life’s challenges.”
Throughout the weekend, participants experienced a profound sense of God’s presence, as heartfelt prayers were offered, and lives were touched by the Holy Spirit. The Prayer Summit was not just a tradition, it was a powerful reminder that prayer remains the lifeline to God, drawing all closer to Him each day.
The Gulf States Conference looks forward to many more years of this prayerful tradition as the community continues to unite in prayer and seek God’s guidance and blessings.
