Habitat for Humanity of Utah County held its International Day of Prayer and Action for Human Habitat event for the local community on Sunday, September 18th at the Provo Community Church. Pastor Dean Jackson, Reverend Daniel Haas, Habitat Board President, Val Hale, and Habitat partner family member, April Crossley, provided thoughtful and encouraging words. Habitat supporters, Chaplain Linda Walton and Johnny McCoy, offered prayers of gratitude and service. Well known soloist, Serena Kanig Benish, and her students from Utah Valley University shared their talents through beautiful and uplifting music. Refreshments were served.
The International Day of Prayer and Action, observed on the third Sunday in September, 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. We appreciate the Provo Community Church for hosting the annual event and those that attended and participating in the inspirational evening.
