For five years now, the North American Prayer Summit has united Canadian, Mexican and American prayer leaders in wonderful, powerful times of prayer for the issues of our continent. We have seen much answered prayer and heartening unity build among the three nations. A solid foundation has been laid from which to further develop and enhance this already very successful initiative. As leadership met recently to discuss our go-forward position, we felt we were to continue to meet with the following focus:
•    That our unity continues to deepen and broaden among the prayer movements of the three nations.
•    That there will be an increase of the younger generation involved. It is critical we partner in a more structured and dynamic way with the future leaders in North America. This will be a specific, focused and strategic direction for our next gathering.
•    That future initiatives will develop among the three nations. We now have the unity required to take advantage of the resources each nation presents to assist one another as needed. The three-nation prayer initiative over the past year in Mexico, focusing on the drug cartel issue is a good example of this. Even though there is continued violence, many drug cartel leaders are being taken down in answer to the prayers of many.

We will gather this year near Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the gorgeous Sangre de Cristo mountains for three days of seeking the Lord, hearing His heart for our nations and praying for transformation of the political, economic, social and spiritual aspects of our continent. We have no agenda except the Lord and each other, wanting to get on His wavelength, to stand in His council and to develop the kind of heart unity with one another that Jesus said was crucial to the world believing in Him and to His Kingdom coming on earth. The NAPS will also serve as a stepping-stone to the World Prayer Assembly (May 14-18, 2012, www.worldprayerassembly.com) when leaders from up to 220 nations will gather in Jakarta, Indonesia, to pray and coordinate plans for the future of the global prayer movement.

Please pray for the North American Prayer Summit that those prayer ministry leaders God is calling will be able to take part and that we will all be led by the Lord into a time of deep encounter with Him and each other. May all the preparations come together effectively for a powerful, anointed time of standing in His council together!
