Missionary Georgia Jackson, Director of the Christian Broadcast Committee Network in Taylor, offered the following invocation:

“God, please fill this room with Your Holy Spirit and touch those under the sound of my voice. You are Alpha, Omega, the Beginning and the end. Today, I am asking that You give all of us the power, wisdom and knowledge to do our jobs the way You want us to. You are the only one who can bless us, and we can’t make this journey by ourselves. We need You to lead and guide us in all things because You are a miracle worker, a problem solver and there is no failure in You! Please continue to send Your love, power and Holy Spirit all over this building and the state of Michigan and lay Your precious hands on everyone. Hallelujah! You said if my people who are called by my name would humble themselves, seek Your face and turn from their wicked ways that You would heal our land. Heavenly Father, I know if You do this and heal our land, everything will be all right! Thank God — this is my prayer in Your name.

Amen.”
