Pentecost Prayer Rally

This week, prayers were united during a virtual Pentecost Prayer Rally on January 11, 2025, led by Carlos Camacho, President of the Nevada-Utah Conference, and Chanda Nunes-Henry, Executive Secretary of the Nevada-Utah Conference. This was the culmination of the worldwide 10 Days of Prayer initiative to start the year with an intentional focus on praying for the Holy Spirit. The event brought together participants from different areas of the Conference to seek God’s presence, lift their communities, and pray for the latter rain.

One participant prayed specifically for the conference leaders, asking for wisdom and strength in guiding the church. Another lifted prayers for the country, seeking healing and unity during these times of transition. But the most frequent prayer request echoed the same longing: for a deeper relationship with God and readiness for Jesus' soon return.

In Reno, Nevada, members of the Reno/Sparks Hispanic Church gathered in their church building to join the rally.

The sight of individuals praying together, whether in their homes or church pews, was a powerful testament to the desire to seek God together as a community in the vast territory of the Nevada-Utah Conference.

“It was great to see everyone coming together to pray,” shared Jackie Bradford, one of the attendees. “You could feel the Spirit moving as we all lifted our hearts to God, even from different locations.”

The rally was not just an event to end the 10 Days of Prayer but also a starting point for future initiatives. Reflecting on the evening, the conference president shared, “It’s something that we would like to do again and offer better options for those who speak other languages. We are here to grow together as loving followers of Jesus.”

As the evening concluded, participants were encouraged to carry the momentum forward, keeping the focus on prayer and spiritual growth throughout this year of Evangelism.
