PrayerFlight’s ’50 Capitals’ takes off May 6

By Janice Wood · May 5, 2010 ·

PrayerFlight’s “50 Capitals” has reached 100% coverage, with pilots set to fly over all 50 capitals in the United States as part of the National Day of Prayer. For the third annual PrayerFlight, organizers said they reached out to past participants, organizations, the National Day of Prayer, and others to “place prayer in the skies all across the United States.”

“While men and women are praying on school lawns, courthouse steps, state legislative buildings, office buildings, private homes and churches, pilots and prayer warriors will be filling the air with prayer above each of our state capital cities — praying for our God to heal our land and turn men’s hearts back to Him,” organizers said.

If possible, the organization is asking pilots to be over their capital city at noon on May 6, “however and as always, if questionable weather is a factor in your area, please feel free to conduct the PrayerFlight later in the day or later in the week or weekend,” organizers said. “Safety is paramount and our pilots and prayer warriors are urged to visit our website pages concerning guidelines for your flight. Don’t forget to check for TFRs.”
