Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe Joins Rev. Terry Lee’s 28th Annual Prayer for Our Nation in Washington

Washington, D.C. is preparing for one of its most enduring spiritual traditions. On June 6, 2026, the 28th Annual White House Prayer for Our Nation Global Day of Prayer will gather leaders, families, and communities at Washington Monument Park along 16th Street NW for a day built around unity, reflection, and shared hope.

What began as a focused initiative has grown into a globally recognized moment of collective prayer, drawing participants from across the United States and well beyond. This year’s edition carries particular weight — not only as the 28th gathering, but as one whose international reach keeps widening.

The founders behind the movement

At the heart of the event stand its founders, the Rev. Dr. Terry Lee and Dr. Joyce Lee, whose leadership has shaped the gathering from the start. Their vision rests on a straightforward conviction: that collective prayer can foster understanding, healing, and renewed direction. Year after year, they have built a space where people of different backgrounds feel genuinely invited to participate.

Their emphasis on inclusivity has been the event’s defining characteristic — an open door rather than a narrow gate.

A royal voice for global peace

Among this year’s distinguished participants is H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe, attending as a Global Peace Ambassador. His presence underscores the gathering’s international stature and its commitment to dialogue across cultures and traditions.

For the prince, the event’s themes are familiar territory. His public work has long centered on bridging divides — and a day devoted to collective intention fits squarely within that mission. His participation serves as a reminder that the pursuit of peace doesn’t observe borders.

A day designed for reflection

The program runs from morning through afternoon, moving between quiet contemplation and communal engagement. Families are encouraged to attend together; the invitation extends to entire communities, not just individuals.

The event’s thematic anchor is 2 Chronicles 7:14, a passage on humility, prayer, and transformation that has guided the gathering’s spirit across the years. Beneath the open sky of Washington Monument Park — with the American flag overhead and a diverse crowd below — symbolism and lived experience meet.

Digital registration keeps the event accessible, blending tradition with the practical tools of modern gatherings. As June approaches, organizers report growing anticipation among longtime attendees, for whom the day is an annual tradition, and first-timers discovering the power of communal reflection.

In a season often defined by division, the 28th annual Prayer for Our Nation offers something rarer: a steady, open invitation to pause together.

Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Faith Leaders and Diplomats Converge on Capitol Hill for 2026 ‘Meeting in the Capitol’

On Monday, April 20, 2026, the Rayburn House Office Building will host an extraordinary assembly of faith leaders, diplomats, and cultural voices. The Meeting in the Capitol — presented by the White House Prayer for Our Nation — brings together figures whose influence spans continents, gathering quite literally in the shadow of the United States Capitol.

The setting is deliberate. Within the sphere of American governance, the event makes a quiet argument: that faith continues to belong in public life, and that spiritual conviction and civic engagement can share the same room.

Leadership and keynote voices

The gathering is led by Rev. Dr. Terry Lee and Pastor Joyce Lee, whose stewardship has made the White House Prayer for Our Nation a respected platform for unity. Delivering the keynote address is Dr. Jannah Scott, the noted communicator and thought leader, whose clarity and insight will anchor the program.

A remarkable roster

The guest speakers read like a cross-section of modern faith leadership. Pastor Clifford Monrose and Bishop Dr. Edward Barnett represent steadfast, family-centered ministry. Juan Mamarzo and Pastor Melissa Ann Dessirio bring bridge-building energy between communities. Sir Charles Waters of Kingdom Faith Global Ministries and Bishop Orlando Findlayter add depth from global and urban ministry respectively.

The lineup stretches further: A.C. “Ninja” Lawrence and Adil Ansari serve as global ambassadors; Sir Gary Sze Kong brings an international business and diplomatic perspective; Princess Kitra Williams, Apostle Leon Benjamin, Renata Dasilva, Wali Akhilai, Cristina Fontanelli, author Jane Hampton Cook, Evangelist Grace D Glass, veteran advocate Andrew “Doc” Morrison, and Apostle Carlton Armstrong each add distinct records of service.

Together they form a program that treats diversity of background not as a talking point but as the point itself — proof that shared purpose can hold many voices at once.

For attendees, the day promises what the Capitol location suggests: faith, leadership, and public life in direct conversation, with the emphasis fixed firmly on unity.
