Not a church, a praying band

The Praying Band is not a church or a religious sect, but an ecumenical, non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian and non-denominational Christian association, founded at Ufuma, Nigeria on 24 May 1957.

We bring Christians of every church and denomination into fellowship with God, and encourage every member to stay truly devoted to their own church: attending its services, supporting it faithfully and serving as a good ambassador of Jesus Christ there.
