Season of Divine Confirmation and Prayer

Dear CDN Family,

As we start the 40 days leading up to the Pastor and Ministry Leaders’ Marriage Conference, I am reminded of how God has confirmed our journey. The recent "Own Your Block" event with Mayor Young fulfilled a prophecy from May 2023, and Dr. Reginald Boyce’s new role is a testament to God’s hand at work.

The 40 Day Prayer Challenge begins today, right now. Join us in focused prayer using Mark Batterson’s “Draw the Circle: The 40 Day Prayer Challenge”. Remember, prayer is not preparation for the battle; prayer is where the battle is won. By 2035, Memphis will go from Worst to First in many areas because of the power of prayer.

If you need help getting the book, let us know.

Reminder Tomorrow May CDN Luncheon - http://eepurl.com/iQNCME

CALLING ALL PRAYER WARRIORS, PASTORS, AND CLERGY!! This Saturday, May 25th, Saving Lost Kids is supporting the National Missing Children's Day by releasing their latest program to support missing children in the Mid-South... "PRAY 4 ME". To usher in our new program, we are hosting a "Prayer for Hope" prayer gathering to surround the 31 children currently missing in West Tennessee and North Mississippi in a circle of prayer. Together, we will be praying for each of the missing children for their safety, protection, and their hopeful soon recovery.

This new ”PRAY 4 ME” program helps to surround these missing children with a circle of prayer by connecting each missing child to a church or faith based group. The church then “Adopts” the missing child by sharing the missing child on their bulletins, presentation screens, or any other way to bring awareness of their missing child. By taking a moment each Sunday to pray for the missing child they have “adopted”, we will establish a continuous lifeline of support that only prayer can provide.
Please take of moment and join us this Saturday! (No registration necessary!)
Yours in peace, hope, and love!
Brian Callies (Cowboy), Founder/CEO
