Like the Early Church in Acts 1, we encourage all local congregations, communities, cities and regions to spend 10 days in prayer leading up to Pentecost Sunday, May 23, 2010.

In all countries around the world Christians will be encouraged to spend these 10 days in prayer, asking God for a fresh outpouring of His Spirit, the salvation of the lost, the unreached and the healing of the nations.

Edmonton & Area 10 Days of Prayer Meetings

TO BE ANNOUNCED 

After Jesus was raised from the dead, He met with His followers many times during a period of forty days. He did far more than prove that He was alive. He spoke continuously about the Kingdom of God and the importance of spreading God's love amongst all the peoples of the earth.

On the last day that Jesus was with them, He told them to stay in Jerusalem and to wait for "the promise of the Father." Following His ascension into heaven, His disciples acted on His instruction - but it was not a passive waiting.

 They sought God zealously, their hearts aligned, and in "one mind" concerning the promise about the coming Spirit of God. They waited by praying earnestly for ten days.

As we read their prayers, and as we listen to what poured from their hearts in the days that followed Pentecost, we learn about how they prayed. Their prayers and statements where birthed from the written Word of God. They prayed in fervent, hope-filled passion for God to fulfill His promises regarding His kingdom on earth.

 Christ is again calling His church to unite in prayer. We are compelled to pray because the great troubles that shake our world have no human solution. Even more, we are called to pray because of the wonderful promises that God has purposed to accomplish by Christ's life and power among the peoples of earth.

 Following this Biblical example, there will be a 10-day period of intercession leading up to the Global Day of Prayer, starting on May 13 (Ascension Day) and culminating on May 22.  As the Lord responded to the 12 disciples, GDOP participants anticipate a powerful movement of God's hand as He responds to an army of hundreds of millions.
