An Inspiring Story About Prayer
100 Days At The Cross ESCATAWPA, Miss. (BP) -- An unusual sight -- an 11-foot-tall wooden cross with hundreds of written prayer requests nailed to it -- has been turning motorists' heads and prompting some of them to get out of their cars since Jan. 23. For 100 days, pastor Terry Long has kept vigil at the cross. Today (May 15) is his concluding day at the busy intersection of Highways 63 and 613 near the Mississippi Gulf Coast. "I felt the Lord told me to do three things," said Long, who has been in the pastorate since 1981, the last eight years at Lilly Orchard Baptist Church in Escatawpa. "One was to put a cross out here on the highway. At first I didn't know where it was to go, but it just clicked that this was the intersection. Through a series of circumstances, this is where I ended up. "Second, I was to pray for revival for a hundred days, every day," Long continued. "I was to push everything aside and just do this, pray for revival in our county and in our country. I was to not take a salary from my church for those hundred days. I was to give it back to the church. "Third, I was to fast and pray. And on the 10th day, five men from my church met with me just to see how things were. They knew I hadn't eaten and had given my salary up. In that meeting, they said, 'We understand why you gave your salary up, but we feel like we want to be a part of this -- we're missing a blessing. We want you down at this cross, and we'd like to restore your salary,' and the church has done just that," said Long, a bivocational pastor who does construction work. Read the full story here...

Prayer Initiatives in and Around Cape Town
Youth Last year a group of 83 young people from Paarl took part in a "7 Day Word Watch", reading aloud through the Bible. Each took an hour as they covered 108 of the 168 hours of the week. They have also completed three separate "ONE DAY" prayer days for revival, covering all the hours. For more info: Liezel Fourie at cape@jwipn.com ONE DAY in the Gap Since February last year local churches have been engaging in ONE DAY of 24 hour prayer for revival covering between 15 and 25 days per month. This year all the days have been filled already for the rest of the year on a national level.

These watches are mostly physical prayer rooms with daily prayer activity. Currently there are 28 active ones, of which more than half cover more than 6 hours per day. Different prayer leaders gather from across the city on a Tuesday evening, to share, encourage one another and to pray for the city. For more info contact Daniel at watch@jwipn.com or visit www.globalprayerwatch.org.

More About The Horn of Africa
" Orthodox Christians are the Horn of Africa's 'hidden lost,'" said Aaron Shaw (pseudonym). "They appear to be Christian, and on maps that show a country's religious makeup, this place is marked as a Christian region." The faith of their fathers was pure at the beginning, Shaw said. Christianity first came to the region nearly 2,000 years ago, just after the death of Christ. For centuries, Christ was at the center - until outsiders wove a macabre legend into their religion, Shaw said. In the folk story, a man was approached by Satan in disguise and asked to sacrifice his son. "Delighted to have been found worthy like Abraham, he did what they asked, cooked and prepared his son for them to eat," Shaw said. "Satan and the men with him asked him to take the first bite of his own son, and when he did, Satan revealed himself." He eventually was sent to hell, Mary "tipped the scales in his favor with her mercy" and redeemed him to heaven. Another Christ follower in the area said people's spiritual need in the Horn of Africa is exponentially larger than any physical need they may have. "This land has a deep spiritual famine," he said. "People are hungering for the Word, but there are not enough people to take it to them." Source Baptist Press 16 April

Pray for the Unreached 24/7

Joshua Project is a research initiative seeking to highlight the ethnic people groups of the world with the fewest followers of Christ. Accurate, regularly updated ethnic people group information is critical for understanding and completing the Great Commission. Jesus said in Matthew 24:14 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come." Jesus directly links His return to the fulfillment of the Great Commission. While no one knows the date or time of His return, we do know that this gospel of the kingdom must be preached to all the nations first. Revelation 5:9 and 7:9-10 show that there will be some from every tribe, tongue, nation and people before the Throne. Joshua Project seeks to answer the questions that result from the Great Commission's call to make disciples among every nation or people group:Who are the ethnic people groups of the world? Which people groups still need an initial church-planting movement in their midst? What ministry resources are available to help outreach among the least-reached? Joshua Project gathers, integrates and shares people group information to encourage pioneer church-planting movements among every ethnic group and to facilitate effective coordination of mission agency efforts. Joshua Project compiles the work of numerous missions researchers to develop a list of all ethnic peoples that is as complete as possible.

World Prayer Assembly 14-18 May
	The World Prayer Assembly is not an interfaith gathering. "It is a response to God’s movement of prayer around the world. While the WPA will serve as a catalyst for the growth of this movement, we understand that prayer for the WPA and those who are involved in the planning process is absolutely essential. Please join with us in prayer for the World Prayer Assembly as teams work together in several critical areas. We must be united in prayer for the WPA if we are to see God do what only He can do. Keep in mind that the WPA is intended to be a “new paradigm” for an international congress, carried out in Acts 13 style, incorporating listening to God, uniting in prayer and seeking to implement strategically the world-impacting actions that proceed out of our encounter with the Lord and one another."

Global Day of Prayer 27 May 2012
	The primary purpose we gather is for the glory of Christ and the blessing of the nations. To seek God and exalt His Son for one reason only, because He is worthy. The day is approaching when everything will be subject to His glory. We are motivated by who He is not what we will get from our coming together. We must keep the main thing the main thing—which is Jesus. We seek to honor Him at the prayer event/gathering and in the planning process as well. He has called us to come before him “in all things with prayer and thanksgiving.” Our biggest challenge will be to leverage the energy from our events to facilitate a lifestyle of prayer, including all Christians and impacting every sphere of society. Global Day of Prayer Strategy 1 Day of Global Prayer: 27 May 10 Days of day-and-night prayer leading up to 27 May 90 Days of Blessing and continuing prayer after 27May

Transform World Global Challenges Summit - Bali, Indonesia, 6-9 Nov 2012
Transform World 2012 is going to be an urgent cry and plea to the Church to consider the urgent issues of ourtime, which we have no choice but to respond to as the Church. Transformation is a journey that every generation must respond through faith and prayerful action. Informed cohesive prayerful action with qualified participant global representation leads to a global movement. By design, we trust that each challenge may have a godly God led response leading to a movement following Jesus, the head of the body of Christ. And we are therefore asking God to guide, and you to join us, in discovering His response to the following challenges ofour day. We are asking the Lord to direct the steering committee as we seek to follow through with a view of transformation over the next chapter of Transform World Connections. We have identified seven challenges that we will be seeking to address in the grace and wisdom of God with the inclusion of an intentional 4/14 Window consideration as the future generation.

We favor those guidelines set out in God's Word for us when it comes to prayer. Topics typically include praying for spiritual leaders, praying for missionaries, praying for the nations of the World and praying for those who do not know Christ as their Saviour.
