NDP History
Virginia Prayer Focus
State of Virginia Prayer Focus Virginia was the "covenant root state." We have birthed eight U.S. presidents and have a governmental anointing and assignment. As well as having the oldest continuously governing elected assembly in North America, the CIA and the Pentagon are on Virginia soil. We were the first permanent English settlement and hosted the 400th anniversary of that event in 2007. We are home to the world's largest naval base and have more than 50 military installations within our borders. Eight states were formed in whole or part from the original borders of the state. The Virginia Charter, written in 1606 in England, declared the mission of the colony to evangelize the unsaved native peoples.13 Virginia Prayer Points These 13 points are in honor of our 13 original colonies, 13 stripes on the U.S. flag, and 13 stars on the first flag. (Virginia is known as the mother of presidents. Eight U.S. presidents were born in Virginia: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson.) 1570 Spanish explorers entered the Virginia region; several Indian tribes inhabited the area.

Captain John Smith identified Virginia as the “Ould Virginia” where to this day the alternate identification of “the Old Dominion” still stands. It’s noted that a strong spirit of independence started to manifest in the colonists along with a growing political maturity. 1652 Parliamentary commissioners assumed control of the colony.1660 Virginia was founded as a colony and referenced by King Charles II as the “Old Dominion”. 1676 Indians, made desperate by English encroachment, began to war on the colonists. The people found Berkeley unable, and as they believed, unwilling, to protect them; they chose Nathaniel Bacon as their leader. Bacon followed the governor against the Indians and forced reforms through the assembly. When the governor threatened military force, Bacon defied him. On the death of Bacon, Berkeley ended the struggle with a series of hangings which brought his recall. 1730- Presbyterians gained a strong foothold in Virginia and organized Hanover 1740’s presbytery. 1750 Separate Baptists from New England entered the colony.

John Dunmore, fearful of the volunteer riflemen gathering in Williamsburg, fled to the safety of the British fleet and on November 7th declared martial law and waged war against Virginia until he was forced to leave the following July. 1776 Richard Bland and Jefferson formulated the constitutional and ethical basis for revolt; Patrick Henry was becoming an orator and George Washington was acquiring military and political experience. The First Continental Congress declared independence in May. It furnished the author of the Declaration of Independence (Thomas Jefferson) and provided the leader of the Revolutionary Army, George Washington. Also in 1776, the Congress formed a union, made foreign alliances, set up a commonwealth and chose Patrick Henry as its first governor. 1778 George Rogers Clark led an army of Virginia and Kentucky riflemen in the conquest of the Northwest Territory; his campaign ended the Indian “menace.” 1780 Virginia moved its capitol from Williamsburg to Richmond.
