As you may well be aware, there is a strong sense of revival stirring up in Christchurch. For this very purpose, we ask for your involvement in a city-wide prayer hour.
On the 24th of September (Sunday) at 7 p.m., we would like every church to gather at their respective sites and pray, with a sense of urgency, that God will reclaim his church, i.e., the city of Christchurch. We have outlined an action plan below, but please feel free to go off the program as the Holy Spirit guides the hour.
Just imagine! Every believer across the city praying with one mind and one voice at that exact moment! Let’s get excited and expect God to do great things!
We also ask for your prayer leading up to the event that the city will erupt with praise and the train of our Lord’s robe will fill the night sky over Christchurch.
