“We want to encourage the nation to make Chicago their prayer target.”
Pastor Dimas Salaberrios

The violence in Chicago is prayer-worthy. In the first half of August, more than 100 were shot and more than 15 killed.
The “Jesus Summer” is a 40-day outreach (started July 14) as a Christian response to the violence in Chicago. Some pray on street corners, some go door-to-door, some feed the homeless, some set up programs for children. The goal is the transformation of the city through the transformation of the souls who live there. Let’s join in and target Chicago with our prayers.
Lord God, we grieve for these young lives needlessly lost. Our hearts, like yours, break for those who think violence is the answer. Change their hearts, O God. Transform the city from a place where blood is poured out in anger to a place transformed by the blood of Christ. In His power we pray.
