With fours weeks to the commencement of The Last Empire, the largest citywide evangelistic campaign conducted by the Greater Sydney Conference in over 30 years, Pr Adrian Raether, Conference General Secretary, is calling for a Conference wide day of prayer and fasting on 20 April. “This is something voluntary and to take place during the Sabbath daylight hours,” says Pr Raethel.
Some suggestions for the prayer focus include:
- pray for the advertising (TV, newspapers, brochures)
- pray for those who have been invited
- pray for each of the presenters
- pray for all those leading out and assisting
- pray for those who will be visiting people in their homes
- pray for the follow up seminars
- pray that the Holy Spirit would be poured out across the city and touch the lives of people
- pray that the forces of disruption would be held back.
