COLUMBUS — A gathering of Ohioans from the four corners of the state will be occurring on the Statehouse steps Tuesday, June 4th. Interestingly, according to event organizers, the assembly set for 11 AM will not be a protest or political rally: it will be a prayer meeting.

“Apart from the help of Almighty GOD and our Biblical obedience, our Buckeye State will not prosper” says Reverend J.C. Church of Victory in Truth Ministries in Bucyrus, Ohio.
“Faith leaders like Tim Throckmorton, Jerry O’Brien, and myself realized Ohio’s destiny hangs in the balance. That is why for the past six years, people across the state have been praying for their elected officials, and seeking GOD’s mercy at the Ohio 7:14 Prayer Assembly.”
Each year more state legislators are taking notice and attending this event as well.”
“There is something that can be said about the ministry of presense,” says Reverend Church.
“Presence matters. We encourage pastors and intercessors to come, and even youth group leaders to bring their students to tour the Statehouse grounds. There is a lot to be thankful for Ohio, but there is a a lot of work to be done. When we worship together and work together, we will win together. There is more that unites us than divides us.”

Last year the assembly took place indoors in the Capital Atrium due to rain.
Sponsored by the Family Research Council and Awake 88, Ohio 7:14 will feature fifteen targeted prayer segments led by key state leaders from Protestant and Catholic denominations, a youth choir from Genoa Christian Academy, and include a pastors luncheon following the assembly.

This year’s keynote speaker will feature Ken Klukowski.
Ken Klukowski serves as general counsel of the American Civil Rights Union, senior counsel and director of strategic affairs at First Liberty Institute, and senior legal editor for Breitbart News Network which has over 75 million individual monthly readers.
Klukowski also litigates constitutional cases in the federal judiciary, and authors amicus briefs for U.S. Supreme Court and federal appellate cases.
Biblical emphasis of the event comes from 2 Chronicles 7:14 which states: “If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves, pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.”
