Harrisburg Policy and Prayer Summit a Success

Over 60 people gathered in Harrisburg last week to pray and learn about policy updates during the state’s first Prayer & Policy Summit, put on by Intercessors for America (IFA).

Leaders from both branches of the legislature spoke, as did others in positions within the government and outside it. Because of the size of the room where the summit took place, attendance was officially capped at 60, but the event had a long waiting list of others who wished to attend.

Attendees were briefed by current Pennsylvania legislators, including Rep. Dave Zimmerman (Lancaster/Berks), Rep. Stephanie Borowicz (Clinton/Union) and Sen. Doug Mastriano (Adams/Franklin).

Zimmerman quoted Daniel 2:21-22 and exhorted the listeners that prayer is the means to change government because God is sovereign over the political affairs of society and He alone gives revelation. Zimmerman also referenced John Hancock’s 22 occasions of calling the people of his state to prayer and fasting while he was the governor of Massachusetts. (Excerpt from The Lancaster Patriot.)
