Global Day of
Prayer
Pentecost Sunday - 15 May 2005
Press
Release
April 21, 2005
– Southport, North Carolina (NC) - Transformation Africa gathered
momentum on 21 March 2001 at Newlands Rugby Stadium, when a record
45,000 Christians prayed for Cape Town. On March 21, 2002,
Christians from all denominations gathered in 8 different stadiums
across South Africa. On May 1, 2003, millions of Christians across
28 African countries united in prayer and on May 2, 2004 all 58
African countries (including the islands) prayed for God’s blessing
in Africa. This event marked one of the greatest Christian
gatherings in the world with more than 22 million Christians praying
together.
People’s lives where changed
at these events and miracles occurred in churches, denominations and
towns.
Now, Africa invites Christians
all over the world to join hands in a Global Day of Prayer when an
estimated 200 million Christians will unite in prayer on 15 May to
ask God to bless the nations . . . so that the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord (Hab.2:14).
This is a process that will
start in 2005 and continue yearly until 2010.
There is a simple threefold
strategy:
- 6-15 May 2005 – Fasting
and praying day and night for 10 days (congregations, cities,
regions)
- 15 May 2005 – Towns,
countries and continents will unite to pray in stadiums,
churches, market squares, etc. In "closed" countries Christians
will come together in other creative ways. Several television,
radio and internet services around the world will broadcast of
this phenomenon.
- “90 Days of Blessing” or
Community outreach after 15 May 2005. This may include things
like evangelism, different types of outreach and help for the
poor and needy, etc.
Cape Fear Alliance Church
invites you to join hands with us to pray for the world. If you
would like to be part of planning Southport's part in this event,
please contact Pastor John Chaffin at 457-5665 or send him an e-mail
