The One Memphis Prayer Summit held on August 2nd at One City Church was a remarkable gathering of faith, unity, and spiritual awakening for the city. Pastors, leaders, and believers came together with a deep desire to lift Memphis in prayer, surrendering their lives and the community to God’s transformative power.

A Prayer for Purpose: Embracing Transformation and Unity in Memphis (Chapter 1)
The Summit opened with a heartfelt prayer by Paster Delbert Means, that set the tone for the day—thanking God for His presence, seeking guidance, unity, courage, and spiritual renewal. This prayer embodied the longing of Memphis’ faithful to be agents of healing, reconciliation, and hope in the city and beyond.

Excerpt from the Opening Prayer:
"We thank You, God, for your presence among us. We seek your guidance to be a more special people—bold, united, forgiven, and empowered to lead Memphis into a future of light and transformation. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in our city and in all lives touched by Your love."

Extending the Power: The 17-Day Online Prayer Summit
Building on the momentum of this extraordinary day, we are excited to announce the One Memphis 17-Day Online Prayer Summit—a dynamic series released daily, sharing each chapter of the Summit’s powerful messages and testimonies. This online experience invites all believers around Memphis, the Mid-South, and beyond to join in prayer and reflection.

Join the Movement: Sharing the Vision Across Memphis and the Mid-South

We invite all congregations, pastors, ministries, and faith leaders to unite in extending the prayer summit’s impact. Together, let us:

• Share the daily articles online via social media, church websites, and community platforms
• Distribute the series via newsletters and email blasts to engage every member and friend of the church
• Encourage small groups and ministries to use these reflections for prayer, study, and community building
• Promote the series in sermons, announcements, and gatherings to inspire broader participation in prayer and action

This is a divine opportunity for Memphis to hear its own voice—bold, united, and stirring the heavens for revival and transformation.

Closing Invitation:
As we embark together on this 17-day journey, may the words and prayers of this Summit continue to inspire powerful faith, draw communities into deeper unity, and unleash the spirit of hope and renewal that Memphis so dearly needs.

One Memphis. One Voice. One City standing strong in prayer and purpose.
