Hundreds of believers from multiple denominations recently came together across Tennessee in a powerful display of unity and faith during the Pray4TN initiative. The statewide 30-day prayer and fasting campaign, which began on July 1, 2025and concluded over the weekend of August 2, 2025 aimed to seek God’s guidance and blessing for families, communities, state leaders, and the nation.
Barbi Franklin, the Pray4TN State Facilitator, shared with CBN News that the event was held at a critical time: the beginning of Tennessee’s fiscal year. She emphasized that the purpose was to pray for government leaders, humble themselves before God, repent for personal and collective sins, and intercede for the state.
“We want Jesus to be honored in Tennessee as the Volunteer State that is #LeadingtheWay,” Franklin wrote.
Participants reported that the gatherings were marked by heartfelt worship, Scripture readings, and group prayers. Organizers believe that corporate prayer has the power to spark spiritual transformation in communities, strengthening families and inspiring hope throughout the state.
