United We Stand                                  February 24, 2024
Be sure to set aside on Monday evening as we join Jerry & Karen Ellard in an anointed time of worship! We quote from their website:

"The Supreme Court is about to have their 'Queen Esther' moment where they will be called upon to do 'the right thing' - the godly thing - the honoring God and our U.S. Constitution thing.  Please pray for these 9 Justices to be filled with the fear of the Lord, courage, strength and a sound mind... and no fear of man."


Come join this anointed couple as they lead us to the Throne of Grace, on behalf of our Supreme Court, our Constitution, and our nation!

> > > Please note, too, the following news:
We are blessed to announce that today marks our 30th anniversary of our founding! Launched on February 24, 2024, we began to pray daily on Capitol Hill, followed by the launching of our (now daily) publication, the Daily Brief.

We offer our deepest appreciation to all of you out there who have been standing with us, AND for sending in your offerings to help us maintain our work!
 
Although, over these past 30 years, we have been knit together with many other fine prayer ministries, all united in ONE MISSION: " . . . (to pray) for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." (I Timothy 2:1-4) 

Among those wonderful ministries, we especially want to thank the following teams for the support they have provided over these many years: National Day of Prayer; Intercessors for America; Aglow International; Family Research Council, My Faith Votes and the Judicial Action Grouup (JAG).
 
Please stay tuned for further announcements about our 30th Anniversary Celebration, to be held this fall on Capitol Hill.
 
One day at a time, we march forward together!
 
In His Amazing Grace,
 
Sara Ballenger and the team at Capitol Hill Prayer Partners

Our Weekly Call to Repentance

CHPP Welcomes You to Join Us Every Week in One Hour of Repentance

Sunday evening at 10:00 p.m. EDT
Dial 717-908-1983
Access Code: 9301470#


Dear Saints,

A lifestyle of REPENTANCE is so close to the heart of God.


Indeed, He commands us to  "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" Matthew 3:2

How, then, can we approach His Throne of GRACE, in repentance?

We invite you to join us every week on Sunday evening, as we explore this vital topic together. We present a different prayer focus each week, leading us into repentance, so that we might approach His Throne of Grace in repentance, presenting ourselves to Him as a pure and a spotless Bride, without spot or wrinkle. (Ephesians 5:27)

Praying together, we desire to fulfill the mandate of Psalm 139:

" Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:24

 

You can join us, any Sunday evening, at 10:00 p.m. EST by calling:

717-908-1983
Access Code: 9301470#

WELCOME!

 

". . . and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place."
(2 Chronicles 7:14,15)

Thought for the Day
"Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast."

(Psalm 33:8,9)
