  • 24-7 Prayer Revolution
    24-7 PRAYER REVOLUTION Dear Friends and Partners in Prayer, We enter into a new year counting it a privilege once again to be partners in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus (Philippians 1:3–5), and enriched by your partnership in prayer. We continue to experience with you the power of prayer for this territory and our lives. It is evident as we travel across the territory that God continues to do new things in and through this great movement – The Salvation Army. As we enter into this new year, we enter with a renewed strategic vision. “Still Fighting” – rooted in the words of William Booth’s great “I’ll Fight” speech yet applied to the world in which we live – 150 years since The Salvation Army began in the East End of London. While there remains one dark soul without the Light of God – we will fight. We are an Army – an Army still fighting – and we recognise that our strength is in our lived experience of prayer. In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul speaks of the need to put on the whole armour of God. He then goes on to write: “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” (Ephesians 6:18 NIV). Always keep on praying! Let us use this prayer guide to mobilise us to pray without ceasing. The prayer requests and focused areas provide a launch pad to pray for a fresh moving of God across our territory and around the world.
