First Friday Prayer Focus

A day of fasting and prayer each month for revival and for those in authority (1 Tim. 2:1). Participants are encouraged to make Friday--especially the first Friday of the month--a day of special emphasis on revival in the church. This emphasis is our modern expression of a National Prayer Accord.

PRAYERWATCH 2010
August 26-29, 2010
Believing that God is calling His people to stand watch
with Him in prayer during these critical times, America’s National Prayer
Committee calls upon the Lord’s people to pray with them for 66 hours of intense
intercession and worship, August 26-29, 2010. From 6pm on Thursday, Aug. 26
until Noon on Sunday Aug. 29, prayer leaders from around the world will gather
in Kansas City, MO at the facilities of the International House of Prayer to
worship and pray. Live streaming of this event will be seen around the world,
and portions will be seen on GOD TV.
The theme that continued to arise during the planning of
this initiative was “preparation”. There is a strong sense that God is calling
us to the walls of our communities and nations to watch and pray as an act of
preparation. It may be preparation for something that God is going to do that
will shake the nations. It may preparation within the Church, a calling to
holiness, purity and repentance. It may even be preparation for the Lord’s
Return. All we know is that God is calling us to Watch and Pray in order to
prepare us, and to prepare the way for something that is coming. We call on the
Church to stand with us in prayer. Prayer Watch 2010!

Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem
October 3, 2010
www.daytopray.com
The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem is held on the first Sunday of every October with a call for sustained, fervent, informed and global intercession for the plans and purposes of God for Jerusalem and all her people. This worldwide grassroots prayer initiative coincides with the season of Yom Kippur, recognizing the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. It has been instituted with the endorsement of Christian leaders of all denominations and differing politics from around the world.
These Christian Leaders recognize that Scripture consistently and repeatedly calls us to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and the current tragedy, bloodshed, and loss of life in both sides of this conflict warrant at least one day of unified intercession from the worldwide Church for this strategic spiritual location. Over 72 nations participated in representing tens of millions of Christians in united prayer during its first international observance, and each year, the number grows.
The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church
November 14, 2010
www.persecutedchurch.org
The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP) is a global day of intercession for persecuted Christians worldwide. Its primary focus is the work of intercessory prayer and citizen action on behalf of persecuted communities of the Christian faith. We also encourage prayer for the souls of the oppressors, the nations that promote persecution, and those who ignore it.
We believe that prayer changes things. Exactly what happens is a mystery of faith. God invites us to present to Him our requests and to pray without ceasing. Persecuted Christians often plead for prayer to help them endure. The most we can do is the least we can do: pray.
