I am thrilled to share the inspiring journey and vision of One Accord Prayer Association, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to learn more about our mission. Your support means the world to us, and together, we can make a significant impact.

​

Who We Are:

One Accord Prayer Association began as a small group of friends gathering in prayer for our church and community. We are an outreach that is rooted in prayer and commitment to compassion. We aim to run our race and ask our donors to allow us to serve our community in our own authentic way. One Accord Prayer Association is a Christian Public Charity,  we show love and compassion to our community. We do not decide who we help based on ethnicity, beliefs or cultural boundaries. In other words, we do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, veteran, or disability status.

​

General Fund

Our General Fund is the backbone of our organization, enabling us to address a variety of needs, including administrative expenses, legal fees, and website maintenance. These essential components keep our nonprofit running smoothly and allow us to serve our community effectively.

​

Jail Ministry

We are honored to serve inmates in our local facility and are in the process of expanding to two more. In line with Matthew 25:36*. Our goal is to grow our team, minister to female inmates, and offer them resources such as Andrew Murray books to help them pursue their God-given purposes. At our next meeting, we are bringing in Andrew Murray books as well as some bookmarkers with encouraging messages on them.
 

Ladies Prayer Expansion: 

The “Big Meeting” Summer, One Accord Prayer Association in conjunction with other prayer groups and churches in our area will be organizing a two-day gathering for all churches in Shelby County, Texas, and DeSoto Parish, Louisiana. Scheduled for a Friday night and Saturday morning, this event (date to be announced) will feature guest speakers, giveaways, and door prizes, with the goal of building a community of women who pray together for positive change. Our main theme is to ask for the greater works*** and contend for a move of God in our communities. We plan to give attendees One Accord Prayer Association branded items, gifts and door prizes as well as speakers travel expenses and honorarium.

James 1:27 Fund

Inspired by the call to care for widows and orphans, the James 1:27** Fund addresses the needs of underprivileged children and the elderly. We have current and future campaigns that will require ongoing support. A big passion project in planning is for special experiences for children, like a shopping excursion, to create lasting positive memories. Current initiatives under the James 1:27 fund are as follows: Cool Summer, Elderly Engagement, B-Christmas, Diaper Dash, “Operation Warm” and Warmth (Underprivileged Children). This fund is very important because several in families in our community do not make a “living wage”.

​James 1:27 Initiatives:

1) “Warmth” (for Underprivileged Children):  We are partnering with “Operation Warm” to provide coats and shoes for children in ages 4-11. Support this initiative by texting "oneaccord" to 44321, using the QR or clicking on any "Operation Warm" photos on our website. We are also working on donations for “Warmth” in the form of jackets, socks, gloves, beanies or warm hats through retailers.​

2) Elderly Engagement: Also this winter 2025, we will launch our “Warmth” (for elderly) initiative, this I a drive for warm socks which will be distributed to nursing homes and if donations allow we will offer the warm sock “free” at our local food bank which serves many elderly in our community. We are also aiming to provide care packages to underprivileged elderly community members. These packages will include warm socks, blankets, crossword books, and puzzles.

3) B-Christmas (Blessing Christmas): Empowering families to buy Christmas gifts for their family. We are looking for donations of prepaid gift cards to gift to underprivileged families in Shelby County Tx exams, and DeSoto Parish Louisiana.

4) Cool Summer: One Accord Prayer Association will be gathering summer shoes, clothing and swimwear for underprivileged children ages 4-11.

5) Diaper Dash: One of our signature initiatives is the Diaper Dash program. We gather diapers, wipes, onesies for babies and toddlers. A second pieces is the purchase of  prepaid Walmart gift card to young mothers facing hardship. With these cards, mothers can be empowered purchase baby food, toys or any essential items for their baby and toddler. ​The best thing is even if there are challenges with the young mother getting to Walmart there are shipping or delivery options our rural area.

*Mt 25:36(KJV):

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

**James 1:27(KJV):

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

***John 14:12-14(KJV):

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
