Global Day of Prayer - Christians United in Prayer for the Nations!
|
|
Africa invites the world ...
 An incredible opportunity is being presented to the Christian community of Greater Huntsville in association with an international effort known as the "Global Day of Prayer" (GDOP) ...
From sunrise in the East to sunset in the West, Christians will fill stadiums across the globe for worship and prayer on Pentecost Sunday, May 15th 2005. The focus includes their cities/communities, their nation/continent, and the nations of the world. Over 200,000,000 Christians are expected to participate, including leadership from 6 continents and over 240 nations, with international broadcasts that will occur from at least one stadium from each time zone.
1.) Mobilize 10 days of 24 hour prayer leading up to Pentecost Sunday
2.) Mobilize a 1 day public stadium event Pentecost Sunday
3.) Mobilize 90 days to bless the city - mercy and compassion ministry to areas of need.
And this to be built on for 5-years (through 2010).
This sprang out of Africa (the "dark" continent becoming a "light" to the nations!), and in the last three years has spread to the entire continent, every nation in Africa participating, and this year leaps internationally to include the world.
Huntsville! Currently 40 states have GDOP events in progress, though none yet in Alabama. Huntsville city leaders have now granted the Christian community the use of Joe Davis Stadium! Please plan to join Christians around the world - people of every nation, language, and tongue - as we come together in corporate prayer for our cities, communities, and nations from 3pm-6pm, May 15th 2005, on Pentecost Sunday - the day the church was born ... the day the Great Commission was ignited ...

GDOP - Encouragement From Several Area Pastors and Leaders! |
|
COGIC Superintendent Terrell Harris, Jr. - "The Global Day of Prayer (GDOP) is an excellent vehicle to bless our city and the surrounding areas, our nation, as well as the nations of the world. I certainly attest to the fact that the timing is right. This is a great opportunity for our religious community to come together with one common cause and goal. It can bring much needed healing to our community of old hurts and give us a much better appreciation of other ministries. Furthermore, this is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes! ... The Church Of God In Christ (COGIC) Churches in North Alabama endorse the GDOP and pledge our support ... May God bless you richly is my prayer!"
Pastor Greg Anderson, Twickenham Church of Christ - "We have prayed for opportunities to build bridges to sister churches and the community ... God has honored both requests through the Global Day of Prayer."
Pastor Leroy Cole, Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church - "The time has come for the Christian Community to put aside its differences and come together to petition the almighty God for guidance. I believe that God will hear our prayer and heal our land."
Pastor Robert Somerville, Covenant of Peace Church - "Corporate prayer at Pentecost can produce for us what it did in the second chapter of Acts, which is anointing for the harvest (Exodus 23:16). Let us make a historic effort in greater Huntsville to be at one place and in one accord!"
Pastor Bruce Martin, The Church at Hampton Cove - "I urge you to participate in what God is doing in this worldwide redemptive effort!"
Student Pastor Chad Rehnburg - "What a God thing. His fingerprints are all over this. I almost can't believe the things I am hearing and seeing. THE CHURCH IN HUNTSVILLE is coming together like never before, and GOD GET'S ALL THE GLORY!"
