Renowned worship leader Graham Kendrick is calling Christian men in the UK to stand together in prayer and praise this month.

The singer of "Servant King" and "Shine Jesus Shine" will be leading CVM's Prayer and Praise day in Market Harborough Evangelical Church on February 25.

He said: “This will be a key day for every man who wants to see men come to faith in Jesus. Prayer and praise is so often the missing jewel in our strategy. It’s an event for Christian men to put in their diaries.”

Hundreds of men are expected to attend the day, which will provide them with the opportunity to pray for their friends and family.

CVM's general director, Carl Beech, will co-lead the event. He wants to see more men dedicate their Christian witness and evangelism to God this year.

He said: “Anyone interested in seeing more men coming to faith should take this opportunity to stand with their brothers in prayer and praise. It’s about drawing a line in the sand and starting this year the right way.

"In our busy lives we often forget the important aspects of following Jesus, some of which are prayer and praise. We want to see the culture of men’s ministry continue to change in the UK as many more guys come to put their trust in Jesus.”
