Pray the News Tagline

CTN commits to praying over the news because every headline represents real people, real struggles, and real opportunities for God to move. In a world often shaped by fear, we choose to respond with faith. By lifting current events, leaders, communities, and nations before God, we seek His peace, wisdom, and justice to prevail. 

Our mission is to anchor our hearts in truth, intercede with compassion, and become carriers of hope—believing that prayer can transform the atmosphere, influence decisions, and bring light into the darkest places.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

Psalm 34:17
