Vision: The glory of Christ and the blessing of the nations. “For the earth will be filled with the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” (Habakkuk 2:14)
Mission: To call Christians from all nations to unite in repentance and prayer, and to collaborate as God’s instruments for the blessing and healing of the nations. “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 Chronicles 7: 14)
Why are we gathering? 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.
What the GDOP is . . . To meet as God’s united church to worship Him, seek His face and intercede for the transformation of our city. We seek God for revival, intercede on behalf of our world, and collaborate for the blessing and transformation of our cultures.
The Global Day of Prayer is:
10 Days: Pentecost is preceded by ten days of prayer (Acts 1:14)
1 Day: Celebrated in public venues on Pentecost (Acts 2:1)
90 Days: Followed by “90 Days of Blessing” for our communities (Acts 2:42ff).
The three key ingredients in each Global Day of Prayer consist of:
Prayer: The first ingredient of The Global Day of Prayer is prayer. Prayer is the central focus of the entire event (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Repentance: The second ingredient is repentance. By repenting for our sins publicly, we identify with the sins of our city and confess them as our own (Daniel 9).
Blessing: The third ingredient is blessing. We look for tangible ways to serve our city by loving others as Christ first loved us. The simple act of service might be the beginning point for someone to experience the love of God in a practical way. Do something genuine and generous for others (Genesis 12:2).
