Pray for Peace Day Celebration
December 18, 2011
Pray for 30 seconds in your own style for peace between India and Pakistan. On a designated day a few months from now, let's ask people to give 30 seconds or a minute of their time no matter where they are to pray according to their personal or religious styles for peace between India and Pakistan, and see the difference that numbers make in reaching the hearts of people and leaders. It's something that the average person can do regardless of whether they're nursing a baby or out on the fields. They just need to know to keep it in their mind to pray.
These prayers can be done from anywhere on the globe by any one, of any nationality. Many Indians and Pakistanis living abroad also share this wish for peace and would love the chance to participate in this collective prayer. Essentially it would be a numbers game: the more people pray for something at a given time, the greater the difference it can make.
