Pray Our Vision - September 2020

Written on 09/01/2020
College of Prayer International
Thank you for praying and giving toward all the training that our leaders in Ethiopia have done the past three months. Because of Covid-19, they were not allowed to gather pastors together in their headquarters in Addis Ababa, so the leaders traveled to many areas of their country to bring the College of Prayer training to them. As a result, 10,945 new Campuses were planted in Ethiopia this summer. All praise and glory to our God and Savior Jesus Christ!
 
Thank you for praying and giving toward reaching new nations! The leaders of 6 new countries in South Africa will be starting to use the College of Prayer curriculum as a result of a three day online training they received. This month we will be reaching New Zealand, Argentina, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. How we praise God for the way He continues to bring growth in these days of limited travel!
 
Our Campus total is now 119,907! HALLELUJAH TO OUR MIGHTY GOD!
 
Please continue to partner with us as we pray toward our five year vision to the glory of God!
  • Pray for our 5 year goal of reaching every nation in the world!
  • Join us in praying for revival in the United States and for our new HOPE (Houses of Prayer Everywhere) initiative.
  • Pray that our prayer team would grow in proportion to our vision.
  • Pray for our goal of $1,000,000 in contributions and revenue for this year.
  • Pray for the activation and mobilization of leaders we are training to reach the unreached nations.
 
With gratitude for your partnership,
 
Sherry Hartley
Prayer Team Director
 
Take the College of Prayer to Every Nation
"Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession." Psalm 2:8
 
Our vision is to build upper room churches in every nation on earth, so that we can reach the final unreached people. We already have Campuses of the College of Prayer in 83 nations, by the grace of Christ. There are invitations and contacts to take the College of Prayer to 49 additional nations in the next 18 months. Please pray with us that this vision will be fulfilled.
 
  • Ask God for each of the nations we hope to pioneer during 2020: Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Eswatini, South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Madagascar, Japan, Cape Verde, Haiti, South Korea, Cambodia, Bhutan, Palau, Papau New Guinea, Nicaragua, Argentina, El Salvador, Panama, Sierra Leone, Central African Republic, and others we will not mention for security reasons.
 
  • In answer to your prayers, God is already giving us strong contacts and open doors in other harder-to-reach nations including Eastern Europe (7 countries), Northern Europe (15), Western Europe (7), Western Asia (19), Central Asia (6), and Asia (8). Continue to pray for this.
 
To Serve the Growing Revival-Prayer Movement in the United States
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Proverbs 14:34
 
We have a vision of starting 10,000 houses of prayer in the United States in the next 18 months. Ask God to give us favor with significant church networks in our nation. We will be making several life-giving resources available to every pastor, local church, and Christian family over the next few weeks.
 
  • In June three new College of Prayer video series were released: The Lord's Prayer Pattern, Encountering God, and Ignite. We have submitted these to RightNow Media for hosting on their expansive digital platform. Ask God for favor, that they will accept these as part of their digital library that provides small group resources for churches around the U.S. and world.
 
  • In June we launched a new initiative, HOPE - Houses of Prayer Everywhere. It has its own website full of life-giving resources for families. Our vision is for every Christian home on earth to be a house of prayer. Pray for the fulfillment of this vision.
 
  • We are already serving a growing number of churches in the U.S. Ask God to give us 1,000 U.S. churches whom we can serve in the next 18 months.
 
An Income of $1 Million in 2020
"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19
 
We have a vision of receiving $1 million in gift income this year. We are certainly serving a $1,000,000 movement and we need a budget that is equivalent to the movement. Praise God for many who have made pledges to give toward this. Pray for the fulfillment of this vision.
 
This month as we celebrate our 23rd anniversary as a College of Prayer movement, we are asking God for significant financial income. Pray with us for a breakthrough financial month.
