In the Inter-American Division (IAD), hundreds of Seventh-day Adventist schools celebrated an annual day of prayer on March 10. It was the IAD’s first virtual prayer day since its establishment 11 years ago. During the program, students prayed for health professionals, spiritual leaders, and government officials. The celebration also affirmed the power of leading a daily prayer life. It is not only for the students and teachers but also for their families.
