First Global Day of Prayer arrives Sunday in Muncie

By The Editor In 2000 and 2002 Graham Power, a South African Christian businessman, said he received two visions from God, comprising five stages: * Hire Newlands Rugby Stadium for a Day of Prayer for Cape Town; * Second, move to the rest of South Africa for a National Day of Prayer; * Third, reach the whole of Southern Africa in the same way; * Fourth, implement this vision all over Africa; * and, lastly, mobilize the world for a Global Day of Prayer. On March 21, 2001, the Newlands Rugby Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa, was filled with the joyous sounds of a 45, 000-strong crowd. Stage 1 of the vision was completed. Following the Day of Prayer in Cape Town, eight other areas across South Africa hosted similar events in 2002. In May 2003 millions of Christians across barriers of race, color, language or denomination joined in prayer at 70 different stadiums in South Africa as well as 60 stadiums in Africa (28 different countries) to pray for transformation in Africa. On May 2, 2004, all 58 African countries (including the islands) united in prayer. Then Africa invited the world to join hands with the African continent in a Global Day of Prayer. On May 15, 2005, history was made when Christians from all denominations, in more than 156 countries, united in prayer 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).

Millions participated in 24/7 prayer rallies in the 10 days leading up to Pentecost Sunday and the youth had a “whole night for the whole world” prayer rally the night before Pentecost Sunday. This event marked the greatest Christian gathering in the world, with more than 220 million Christians praying together. Reports from across the world were submitted and all had one message to tell: “God touched us in a special way!” Visit: http://www.globaldayofprayer.com to read some of the feedback. Now the second phase of this process will start: 5 years of global participation from 2006 “ 2010. The main objective is to have all 245 countries in the world participating to “Globalise Prayer, revealing God’s Glory” on Pentecost Sunday of each year. The following threefold strategy will be followed: 10 Days of repentance and prayer “This will start on Ascension Day and will end the day before Pentecost Sunday. One of the goals will be to establish a “lifestyle of prayer.” Global Day of Prayer “on Pentecost Sunday. 90 Days of Blessing “ Local communities and youth will take ownership in projects to transform their city /town. “If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chron.7: 14) Christ Temple Church, 654 N. Jefferson, will host Muncie's Global Day of Prayer events.
