Call to Prayer & Self-Denial:

Feeling God’s Love in a Tangible Ways

Dear Sister,

I would like to invite you to join United Women in Faith in prayer and giving through the 2026 Call to Prayer and Self-Denial offering. Together, our sisterhood is making a difference in the lives of children and youth served through the work of National Mission Institutions.

NMIs provide low-cost early childhood education, after-school programs, enrichment programs, mental health support, guidance for the transition to adulthood, and more. One such NMI is AK Child & Family in Anchorage, Alaska. AK Child & Family offers hope to young people ages 12–18 who have experienced deep trauma such as abuse, neglect, separation from family, and profound loss.

For these young people, God’s love is felt in tangible ways: a handmade quilt on their first day in treatment, prayers lifted by hundreds through an email prayer chain, warm cookies and stories shared in the sunshine, music ministries that help them hear God’s call, and quiet moments of care that remind them they are seen and valued.

One student shared how this ministry helped them: “Before I got here, I never really ever talked to anyone, and I didn’t have any friends. But now I see that I can finally enjoy my life, and I see a lot of time with my family, which is going to be so good. When I leave here, I’m going to try to find my way in the world. I’m going to work hard on school and get a college education.”

The Program at AK Child & Family helped this student to move from anger and isolation toward healing, connection, and hope for the future. This is what happens when faithful people come together to boldly stand in the gap.

Will you join us and support NMIs that are often the last safety net for the next generation?

When you give to the Call to Prayer and Self-Denial offering, you help ensure that NMIs like AK Child & Family can continue offering safety, healing, and God’s good news to children and youth who need it most. Thank you for prayerfully considering a gift today.

Faithfully Forward
