Fifty Days of Prayer Devotional
Every year Christian Education and Publications (CEP) and MNA work together to produce a devotional uniting the PCA in prayer during the days leading up to General Assembly.

Each devotion will include prayer requests from the 10 PCA agencies and committees.
Orders can be placed by calling CEP at 1-800-283-1357, visiting their web site at www.cepbookstore.com, or emailing them at bookstore@pcanet.org. |
