May we please share the following, asking if you can cover these five crucial initiatives over the coming weeks with your prayers? There is so much potential in God’s hands for each of them to have a profound impact on our world:

1. Dark Places and Powers Consultation, Sept. 27-30, Larnaca, Cyprus - for specialists in strategic-level spiritual warfare and territorial deliverance to confer, pray and work together, and hopefully form an ongoing international network for deeper learning and broader practice.

Pray for visas and traveling mercies for all and for an anointed, God-led time of great insight and deeper understanding of this realm.

2. Middle East Prayer Assembly, Oct. 1-4, Larnaca, Cyprus - a historic gathering for ministry leaders and praying youth from all denominations and traditions across the ME region and international prayer leaders from other parts of the world to seek the Lord for His breakthroughs in this challenging area of our world.

To our knowledge, it will be the first time that church leaders - Arab, Turkish, Armenian and Jewish, with prayer leaders from all three Christian traditions - have come together to pray for the region supported by prayer leaders from around the world. We need

to see His breakthroughs of transformation for the nations of this region at this crucial time!

Pray for visas and traveling mercies and for a wonderful unity in the Spirit, identificational repentance and reconciliation as well as nation-changing united prayer as we pray deeply for each nation of the region led by delegations coming from those nations.

3. North American Prayer Summit, Oct. 15-18, Ottawa, Canada - for prayer ministry leaders from Canada, Mexico and the USA. We hope to focus on our three governments and also raising up younger leaders for the regional prayer movement.

Pray for the people of God’s choosing to come and especially younger ministry leaders that they will have His provision to come and desire to be with us.

4. Children in Prayer Global Consultation, Nov. 15-18, New York City, USA - for CiP practioners and coordinators as well as praying children and youth from around the world. To learn from one another in order to expand and deepen the CiP movement internationally.

We need the right people - adults, youth and children - who are involved in prayer ministry to come from the ends of the earth. Pray that the invitation will reach them and that they will be able to get the financial provision and visas to be in New York.

5. International Prayer Initiative for the United Nations, Nov.18-20, New York City, USA - for Christian organizations serving children and youth, ministry leaders, youth and children from around the world. Theme: “Children and Youth: Investing in the Future”. Purpose: to be “salt and light” within this powerful institution, praying with ambassadors and other officials for its transformation and God’s blessing on its efforts to improve the lives of children and youth worldwide.

Pray for great favor with UN officials and ambassadors that their hearts will be stirred to take part (even the Secretary General and President of the General Assembly and many others). Pray too for the provision and confirmation of an adequately large conference room inside the UN which is still up in the air due to remodeling.

Prayer Concerns for all five initiatives:

1) For the right people to hear His call to take part in each of these events.

2) For great favor with the authorities so all can get their visas without any problem.

3) For the financial resources necessary for participants’ flights and other expenses and for the IPC to have enough for administrative and other costs as well as to help with subsidies as needed. The widow with the bottles of oil comes to mind!

4) For our program planning teams for each event to be anointed, led and protected in the midst of the spiritual conflict in which all of us are engaged.

5) For all speakers and facilitators to be guided and empowered by the Spirit for their tasks.

6) That His Kingdom will be advanced in ways we could not have imagined possible.

Thanks so much for helping in this way. Your prayer support will help turn the tide in favor of His global purposes in each of these international prayer initiatives. Please feel free to share these concerns with other intercessors you are in touch with.
