<\/a><\/p>\nIn a heartfelt prayer of dedication, former General Vice-President of the General Conference, Mrs Ella Simmons, said, \u201cFather God, Your presence is being felt throughout this Session. In gratitude, we turn our thoughts to these leaders whom You have chosen at this time to lead the Church in its various regions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Continuing, she prayed, \u201cFather, touch each one with Your mighty right hand. Guide and direct them; let them not stray from the path on which You have placed them. You have a plan not only for their lives but also for Your people, for Your work, and for Your Church. Bless them, strengthen them. Grant them an unusual abundance of discernment and wisdom. Let them hear Your voice\u2014and give them whatever it takes to listen. We pray and thank You in the blessed name of Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n
