The two key verses that are guiding our planning around the Global Day of Prayer, are 2 Chron.7:14 "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land" and Hab.2:14 "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." There is a simple threefold strategy. 1. 10 Days of day-and-night prayer from Ascension Day till the Saturday before Pentecost Sunday. 2. A global day of repentance & prayer on Pentecost Sunday 3. 90 Days of "community blessing.

More than 200 million Christians around the world are persecuted today merely for confessing their love for Christ. Each year, the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP) gives Christians in free countries the opportunity to pray for and with those who suffer for their faith. Its primary focus is the work of intercessory prayer and citizen action on behalf of persecuted communities of the Christian faith. We also encourage prayer for the souls of the oppressors, the nations that promote persecution, and those who ignore it.
IDOP began in 1996 through the efforts of the World Evangelical Fellowship (WEF) in cooperation with a variety of denominations and faith-based organizations. From a core group of approximately 7,000 churches, IDOP has grown to be the largest prayer day event of its kind in the world. IDOP is a rallying point for Christians and others to stand behind those who suffer for their faith by providing prayer support and appropriate advocacy. Since 1996 more than 100,000 U.S. churches, representing nearly every U.S. denomination, have taken part in IDOP with other believers in over 130 countries. For more information, visit www.persecutedchurch.org or www.idop.org.

On 07.07.07, tens of thousands from across America will gather in Nashville to fast, pray and cry out to God for another Great Awakening! 40 years after the start of the Jesus Movement and 40 years after the rebellion of the Summer of Love, it’s time for a new generation to step forward and return to the Lord and to renew our covenant vows of love with Him.
In the Bible, the word for ‘oath’ literally comes from the word ‘seven’ because they would repeat their vows seven times. 07.07.07 is a divine opportunity to divorce our false loves and remarry the Lord. 2007 is a covenant year for America, the 400th anniversary of the planting of the cross in Virginia. We believe that if the Church will gather to fast and pray, God will visit America in an historic awakening again. For more information, www.thecall.com
