  In 2005, The Word of Grace Family Christian Fellowship (C&MA) led by Dr. Richard Mirpuri as the Founder & Senior Pastor joined a global, grass roots movement focusing prayer and attention on the Middle East, specifically Jerusalem. The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, which was launched by a coalition of over 500 major Christian leaders around the world, drew participation from 53,000 local churches in 72 nations that year.
  This year, Dr. Mirpuri also led in prayer for the Philippines which was just devastated by floods that destroyed lives and property in Southern Philippines (Cagayan De Oro and Iligan) and for the United States of America, 2012 being a very important presidential election year in the U.S. that has global implications.
  The Word of Grace – Chicago was joined on this Day of Prayer by The River of Life Ministries in Bacolod City, Philippines under the spiritual leadership of Pastor Emilio and Sis. Lori Henares who partnered with the Word of Grace for this event.
