PASTOR BRIAN WILLIAMS, BROKEN CHAINS CHURCH

The Official National Day of Prayer Observance in the Capitol City of the state of Illinois is always a powerful time of outreach and intercession. Since the new era began in 2006, under direction of the Holy Spirit, we have progressed from a programmed prayer event to worship services in the past two years, to a full evangelistic revival type of atmosphere this year.

This format does not follow any pattern of other cities and we stay clear of any politicians, unless it is the Mayor of Springfield. This is the people’s event….and this year, the people supported it and came out in the largest turnout in seven years! Thousands more heard the hour-long event broadcast later that night on Christian Radio on WLUJ 89.7 FM and over the internet. (Springfield’s Mayor usually reads the City Proclamation. If I ever have a politician praying on the platform in the future, he or she will be a born-again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.)
