The Bible says in Matthew 18:19-20, “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” As Moviguide® honors The National Day of Prayer on May 2, this curated list features films where communities come together in prayer. Miracles unfold, hearts are transformed and God’s power is shown throughout these movies.
