Before pilots Bob Stephenson and Pat Carlile go up in their Cessna 182 for the Prayer Flight over Denver, they go through pre-flight checklist.
Once over the state capitol the two will offer specific prayers.
“We have a list here of things in the government, like government officials to recognize God’s authority and rely on him for wisdom,” says Stephenson.
Carlile adds, “our nation’s in great need with its economy, its military and the war in Iraq. And our election year. There’s a lot of great need for our country right now.”
Stevenson says you don’t have to be part of a specific event to participate in the National Day of Prayer.
"It’s not who prays that is important, it’s who answers prayer. That’s the most important thing.”
As he co-pilots, he has the NDP theme at the forefront of his mind.
