Speaking ahead of Thursday’s election, Christian candidates have come out in support of Global Day of Prayer London and its call to a national day of prayer. Tens of thousands of Christians are expected to turn out for the Global Day of Prayer event at West Ham football stadium on June 13. Labour’s Stephen Timms said he hoped the day of prayer would be followed up with greater service in the community. Global Day of Prayer is a fantastic event. It attracts a very large number of people coming together with tremendous exuberance and a very strong sense of prayer and worship as well.' David Burrowes, Conservative parliamentary candidate for Enfield said, ‘The Global Day of Prayer would have added significance this year, falling after the General Election on May 6. That’s something that we all need to do and it couldn’t be a better time in the first month of a government as it’s setting out its direction.’ Simon Hughes, Liberal Democrat candidate for North Southwark and Bermondsey, made a similar call.

Pray: for the Global Day of Prayer and that it will help set God’s path for the new Government. (Zec.3:7)
