Dear fathers, brothers, and members of the OPC:

The following recommendation was approved by the 90th (2024) General Assembly:

The 90th General Assembly determines to call for a day of prayer and fasting on Saturday, August 17, 2024, that the whole church may pray as one people, and call upon the Lord with one voice, that we might lament our distress and unworthiness before the Lord, confess our sin, and commit ourselves anew to the work of the Great Commission in the faithful service of the Lord our God; that we would humble ourselves, seeking the Lord’s guidance and provision for the spreading of His kingdom to the ends of the earth; that we humbly implore God to raise up missionary evangelists for our foreign fields.

Please promote this day of prayer and fasting in your churches as you deem most effective in spreading the word and encouraging member participation. Let us pray that the Lord of the Harvest would be pleased to raise many from our Church to go into the field of souls to reap plentifully for the glory of our God and King. Thank you.

Your servant,

Hank L. Belfield
Stated clerk of the General Assembly of
The Orthodox Presbyterian Church
