On September 14, 2005, Bishop Levy H. Knox of Living Word Christian Center in Mobile, AL received a special phone call from the office of President George W. Bush inviting him to represent Mobile, AL at the National Day of Prayer and pray for those affected by Hurricane Katrina in the Washington National Cathedral.  As Bishop Knox saw Pastors and Leaders come together for a common cause, this brought about a fresh desire in the heart of Bishop Knox to bring local city Pastors together for an Opportunity for Unity which has been also termed as OFU.  As a result, city Pastors have been meeting on a monthly basis since November 2005 at the Prince of Peace Embassy and various churches in Mobile, AL with no personal agendas other than to see the churches and city united in prayer.  As he states "Our Strength Lies in Our Solidarity".  They deemed it important not to wait for an opportunity of tragedy, as did the effects of Hurricane Katrina, but to continue the efforts of coming together in prayer on a monthly basis. In April 2007, the prayer gathering matured into a citywide concert of prayer bringing together Pastors along with their congregations.  The first year's concert of prayer received an overwhelming response from others to become a part that it has now become an annual gathering.  As quoted by Vice President Mobile City Council, (District 1) Fred Richardson, "It was diversity at the highest level and for the highest cause...  ...Mayor Sam Jones launched a bold Love Your Neighbor (LYN) campaign, building on the city's rich ethnic diversity.  Bishop Knox and other ministers took LYN to another level and made a quantum leap of faith in leading a movement to break down the walls of ethnic separation that prevailed for centuries in the Christian Church." 

Each year local Clergy and their congregations from the greater Mobile and Gulf Coast area, gather in an "Opportunity For Unity" (OFU) Annual Concert of Prayer at the Mobile Convention Center.  It is a gathering where one can experience intense passionate diverse praise and worship as church worship teams also unite directed by Worship Leader Pastor Delia Knox, combined with powerful prayers from our city's rich diverse Clergy.  There is no admittance fee as the event is sponsored by area churches united under the banner of Christ.  All are welcomed to this great Opportunity for Unity as surrounding Christian churches in the Mobile and Gulf Coast region unite.
