The National Foster Care Prayer Vigil takes place each May through collaborative efforts of a number of Christian Alliance for Organization members. The Vigil invites followers of Christ to gather in communities across the country during the week of May 16-23 to pray on behalf of children in foster care, as well as their families, their social workers, and the church as it responds to their needs.
A local prayer vigil can take on many forms, from a formal, church-wide event to an informal gathering with your family after dinner. Ideas suggested by the organizers include doing it as:
- Part of a regular Bible study group in your home
- Part of a regular Community Group meeting
- Part of a Sunday School class
- A Prayer walk through your city
- A gathering of friends at a park, or the beach
- A lunchtime gathering with co-workers
- Or whatever and wherever you want it to be
