Fueled by a desire to make a difference and inspired by a pastor who used flags to pray for missionaries overseas, Assistant Pastor Beverly Smith along with her husband Pastor Tim Smith is leading the way in a community prayer effort.

Instead of using flags to pray for Seadrift the Assembly of God church created a banner. Pictured is Assistant Pastor Beverly Smith with the banner that entails most of the Seadrift area that you would find on a map. People are welcome to use the banner as a point of contact when they pray over the city. Assistant Pastor Beverly Smith said that included in the prayers for Seadrift are the city mayor, the city council, the city crew, and local businesses.

There are a variety of flags at the church that are posted by the Seadrift banner that are used to pray for missionaries on the foreign field.

The public is invited to attend the prayer effort at the Assembly of God church at 501 S. 2nd Street in Seadrift. It is held on Monday nights at 6:00 p.m. and usually lasts thirty minutes.
