Community members joined local interfaith members to participate in Habitat for Humanity of Utah County's Annual Day of Prayer event at the historic St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Provo this past Sunday. Judge Lynn Davis and others gave inspiring remarks about the importance of prayer, service, and shelter. Students and alumni from Utah Valley University shared their talents and provided beautiful musical numbers. We appreciate all those that attended and participated in the moving evening.
The International Day of Prayer and Action for Human Habitat is a time when the entire Habitat for Humanity community is urged to come together in prayer for those in need of shelter. Through prayer, Habitat for Humanity continues to make a dramatic difference in the lives of people around the world. Many volunteers are drawn to this ministry after hearing God’s call and seeking God’s guidance through prayer. Other prayers are answered when families and communities grow in the shelter of God’s grace. The hurdles of funding and building homes are overcome through the miracles of prayer. This year the event was held the first Sunday in October to help kick off World Habitat Day.
