of tears, or sadness, but a war cry &#8211; a declaration that Jehovah Nissi (The Lord is my banner) is spread over His children. A banner that speaks of unity, identification, and togetherness &#8211; a rallying point for troops in a spiritual battle. A symbol of hope &#8211; if you have lost your way through the battles you are fighting, then you search for your banner and know that your fellow people are fighting with you and He is fighting for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under His banner, we felt the call to cry out for Christchurch&#8230; Christ&#8217;s Church &#8211; like so many others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our Mission<br><\/strong>For Christchurch to start looking like the body of Christ &#8211; just like our city&#8217;s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our stories<br><\/strong><em>&#8220;I get to church an hour and a half early for Sunday morning services just to prepare the atmosphere for God\u2019s presence with prayer and worship. God let me know that this needed to be done at a bigger scale. We\u2019ve been talking about revival coming to Christchurch for so long but we still aren\u2019t ready. God showed me an image of all the believers in Christchurch praying for revival at the same time, that becoming a nationwide movement, and eventually catching on fire to become a global movement. But it is important that it starts here in Christchurch. This is his church and we need to start looking like the body of Christ.&#8221;<\/em>  &#8211;  Patricia (City Church)<br><br>&#8220;<em>As part of Christchurch&#8217;s immigrant population, I have been struggling with the apparent disconnection between churches in New Zealand for 5 years. In Aug 2023, while worshipping in church, God floored me with a picture of all the Christians in Christchurch lining the 4 Avenues, proclaiming the Name of Jesus over our city and reclaiming the city that bears Christ&#8217;s Name!\u00a0 While I was trying to figure out how to get in contact with all the churches in Christchurch to share my vision, an email from a lady at City Church landed in my inbox &#8211; <strong>a city-wide invitation to join a Prayer Event to reclaim Christchurch<\/strong>. <\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>Patricia&#8217;s heart for the city mirrored mine so exactly, it could only be from God! By the end of that week, Celia (whom I know from school) was on board too, and so Reclaim Christchurch was born. <\/em> <em>My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will unite churches across Christchurch to pave the way for revival; that our city will carry more than just the Name of Jesus, but also reflect His Character to the whole world!<\/em>&#8221;  &#8211; Elrie (Urban Oasis C3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;I was worshipping during our Sunday Service and I felt this urgent call to pray for our city. It was so intense that I stopped singing and asked God questions about when, what, and where. How can I  make a difference? I knew He would send the people&#8230; and He did! There are so many Christians feeling the same urge to pray for our city.&#8221;<\/em> &#8211; Cecilia  (Celebration Centre Church)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull\" style=\"min-height:420px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-nv-site-bg-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:68px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neve-link-color-color has-text-color\">Our Values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column ticss-4ce656f1 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full icon-style is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"123\" height=\"123\" src=\"https:\/\/reclaimchristchurch.city\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Add-a-little-bit-of-body-text-9.png\" alt=\"Icon showing a person worshipping God by having raised hands and a heart above.\" class=\"wp-image-419\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-text-align-center has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color\">Revival<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:15px\">God bringing dead hearts back to life again and drawing them into a relationship with Himself.<br><br><em>&#8220;Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may be restored.&#8221;<br><\/em>Lamentations 5:21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lam: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lam<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column ticss-f6fc7494 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full icon-style is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"123\" height=\"123\" src=\"https:\/\/reclaimchristchurch.city\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Add-a-little-bit-of-body-text-7-e1694728078231.png\" alt=\"Icon showing two hands and a heart together.\" class=\"wp-image-417\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-text-align-center has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color\">Repentance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:15px\">God revealing His truth to all hearts so that we may stand before Him, the pure bride of Christ &#8211;
