It may surprise you to know that the *Third Great Awakening* began in New York City with the commencement of the daily noonday prayer meetings held initially on Williams and Fulton Street. The man who was instrumental in it all was Jeremiah Lanphier. In commemoration of this, we have published a book called *The Case for United Prayer* which will be our gift to you at the conference. This has also become a great focus for us as we seek to encourage God's people to recover corporate prayer in the church.

I had the immense privilege of visiting the land of Scotland a few times in the past year or so. I enjoyed visiting historical sites, worshipping with the saints, and even praying with one of the last surviving eyewitnesses of the 1950 Isle of Lewis revival. It left a profound impression upon me. But there was one aspect of the trip that caught my attention. There was something particularly edifying about how the Scottish churches sang the psalms that was a bit different. I would like to bring the psalms in the way I experienced it to this year's conference. I believe it will be a blessing to you as it was to me. In connection with that, we will be presenting our newly-published psalter called the *Foundations Psalter* to all attendees as our gift to you. It's based on the 1650 Scottish Psalter, but with a little extra (digital) detail which I think you'll enjoy. The 1650 Scottish Psalter is a poetic, scholarly, and devotional masterpiece that was produced by an assembly of some of the most godly Puritan ministers in church history. It is our desire that the *Foundations Psalter* be used to help reintroduce this treasure of Scripture-based praise back into the worship of God among His people.

We are thankful to have our conference in an historic building that is shared by *Manor Community Church* and *New York Gospel Ministries.* In a time when most Christian ministries are leaving New York City, NYGM maintains a faithful witness in the heart of Manhattan. We are grateful for their partnership in opening this incredibly historic church building for our conference. I hope you will seriously consider including the work of NYGM in your financial support. **Address:** 350 W 26th St New York, NY 10001 [Learn more at nygm.info](https://www.nygm.info) | [Map it!](https://goo.gl/maps/YEVK3hcXPVynK36y8)

One of the blessings of coming to *The Foundations Conference* is the natural opportunities for meeting new friends and enjoying Christian fellowship. We live in an incredibly divided society, and the church is not immune to divisions. We should make every attempt to foster genuine Christian unity as we seek to gather around truths that we can all agree on.
