"Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations."

______________________________________________________________________________

Let us—as the 2026 National Day of Prayer theme calls us—glorify God among the nations by seeking Him in all generations. In a time of uncertainty and division, we come together in unity, humility, and hope, lifting our voices to the One who hears and responds.

This year, we place special emphasis on the younger generations, praying they would be strengthened, empowered, and healed, and that cycles of suffering would be broken through the work of SDLF’s “Just One Thing” Initiative. We believe prayer is not passive—it is powerful, transformational, and essential to the flourishing of our communities.

Join leaders of faith from across San Diego as we gather to celebrate the United States National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 7.

Highlights:

We are honored to welcome Former Mayor Kevin Faulconer, Pastor Bob Botsford, and additional presenters who will help guide our hearts and minds in focused prayer for our nation, our city, and future generations!

We are especially grateful to have Commander Mike Kuypers (USN, ret.) serving as our Master of Ceremonies, calling us together with purpose and leading us as we unite in prayer for San Diego—its leaders, families, schools, churches, and neighborhoods!

We are honored and filled with joy to recognize Santa Fe Christian Schools as the Title Sponsor of the San Diego Leadership National Day of Prayer. Their leadership in this moment is a powerful expression of faith in action and a clear reflection of their commitment to shaping hearts, minds, and leaders for Christ.

Santa Fe Christian Schools has long stood as a pillar of Christian education in our region—dedicated not only to academic excellence, but to spiritual formation, character development, and servant leadership. By stepping into the role of title sponsor, they are extending their mission beyond the classroom and into the broader San Diego community.

We are also grateful that the Martin Luther King Community Choir will be joining us that morning, adding a powerful expression of worship and unity!
