GALION — Those attending the National Day of Prayer celebration at the Gazebo on the public square not only got to pray for their nation, they also heard about supernatural activity occurring in their midst. In keeping with the theme of the local gathering, “In God we boast all day long…” from Psalm 44:8, the program included several testimonies about recent miracles.
According to event organizer Reverend Bill Seymour, “In addition to the prayer time, we wanted to highlight some of the good news events that have happened locally, that usually never get reported. We wanted to broadcast God’s marvelous works.” Seymour serves as Chaplain of Signature Healthcare and also serves on the Galion Area Ministerial Association (GAMA) the sponsor of the event.
During the meeting, Jon Kleinknecht shared a moving testimony of how God spared his life, delivering him from a depression and suicide. Pastor Joshua Cole from Leesville Tabernacle of Praise also told how GOD has moved miraculously in two recent dramatic healings.
During the Concert of Prayer, six local ministers representing their churches prayed for specific areas of society. In addition, a school principal prayed for Galion Schools, Galion Mayor Tom O’Leary prayed for the city, and County Commissioner Mo Ressallat. prayed for the county.
Joe Maddox from the Bucyrus Jericho House prayed for those struggling with addictions and for drug treatment ministries. Chaplains from the Galion Fire Department, and the American Legion prayed for first responders and the military. The Galion American Legion provided a color guard.
