Prayer Guide—February 2026

“A triune God would call us to converse with him… because he wants to share the joy he has. Prayer is our way of entering into the happiness of God himself.” — Timothy Keller

This February, we turn to God in prayer—sharing in his joy, growing in faithful discipleship, and participating in the life of his kingdom.
Continue in prayer with us. See the full prayer guide here.

Prayer Guide—January 2026

The primary purpose of prayer is to bring us into such a life of communion with the Father that, by the power of the Spirit, we are increasingly conformed to the image of the Son.” — Richard J. Foster

This January, we begin the year in prayer — seeking deeper communion with God, living faithfully in his kingdom, and entrusting the year ahead to the Spirit’s guidance.

Walk with us into the new year through prayer. See the full prayer guide here.

2026 Denominational Celebration

The Denominational Celebration
will be held
in Dallas, Texas, U.S.
on
July 23-26, 2026.

Kingdom Living is participatory, relational, and missional.

Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” As citizens of the kingdom and co-laborers with Christ, we are sent into the world to reflect his light. Kingdom Living requires awareness of our calling and our context, seeing our neighborhoods, vocations, and even our sufferings as places where Jesus reigns and sends us.

Kingdom Living is not passive. It is a bold proclamation and a tangible demonstration. We not only speak of the reign of God, but we also show it. Our words align with our works. As image bearers, our relationships become a visible witness to the reality of the kingdom being ushered in.

During this gathering, we’ll explore what it means to live as kingdom people, active participants in God’s mission, deeply rooted in community, and shaped by the presence and authority of Jesus.

Registration opens December 1. Look for more information and the registration link in our December 10 Update issue.

GCI Disaster Relief Fund

If you would like to help GCI members impacted by major disasters, like the recent typhoons in the Philippines or the storms in the Caribbean, one of the best ways to do so is to donate to the GCI Disaster Relief Fund.

The Fund helps provide members in disaster areas with emergency needs such as food, water, medicine, clothing, temporary housing, home and/or church hall repairs, temporary local pastoral salary expenses and other emergency needs. Monies received into the Fund that are not immediately needed will remain in the Fund to be allocated in future disasters.

In previous years, money from this Fund has helped members recover from Hurricane Helene in the U.S., storms and flooding in Bangladesh, Honduras, Mozambique, and Malawi, an earthquake and tsunami in the Solomon Islands, typhoons in the Philippines, and an earthquake in Haiti.

If your congregation would like to donate to the Fund, you can set up a one-time donation through GCI Online Giving by selecting Give for Disaster Relief under the drop-down menu.

If your congregation prefers to send a check, make it out to Grace Communion International, indicating clearly on the memo line that the donation is for the GCI Disaster Relief Fund.

Send the donation to:
GCI Disaster Relief Fund
Grace Communion International
3120 Whitehall Park Dr.
Charlotte, NC 28273

Thank you for your prayers and financial contributions to help members of the GCI family who are suffering.
