All throughout the world God is raising up groups and individuals who are ushering in the Kingdom of God through their intercession and pursuit of God Himself. Across Ohio there is a growing movement to see prayer going on continually in our state. God is passionate about bringing His kingdom to earth, even right where we are. To this area that seems so depressed and in such a slump, He wants to bring hope and vitality. He wants to change the atmosphere, bringing the glory of His Son to individual hearts, families, and even the economy.

In our next 24 hour prayer time, we wanted to partner with what God is doing in our state in a greater way. So this next session we will be devoting a week to continual prayer and worship.

Throughout the week of July 18 through July 25, we purpose to have individuals gathering at the Upper Room building every hour of the day to seek the Lord and pray for His Kingdom to come here in this region as it is in heaven. Each evening, worship teams and prayer leaders from various church families will add to what is taking place, joining the prayers of the day and blessing those of the coming night.

How can you be involved? You can commit to being one of the pray-ers. Ultimately, it would be wonderful if a person could sign up to pray at a certain hour and fill that “shift” each day of the week. We know that’s not always possible so register for as many as you can. Sign up will be available online soon.

Worship teams can volunteer for the evening sessions. These will be structured much like we have done 24 Hour Prayer in the past, worship mixed with intercession, harp and bowl style. The evening sessions will be from 7 to 9 PM. (Feel free to go longer, if you wish!) Reply to this email or call me to secure the date for your team.

Thanks for being “friends of the Bridegroom,” loving Him and delighting in His kingdom.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.”

For His amazing Name,
Bruce
