As we live through incredible days of shaking, we gain strength and confidence in our God ‘who was and who is and who is to come’. Many are seeking the Lord as to how we handle the remaining four years of the 7 year strategy that was given in July 2005 – seven years to prepare this nation spiritually and seven years to make a difference (to access the full copy of this go to www.prayerforum.org).
Across the British Isles, we continue to hear that more and more people are being stirred to pray. The desire to begin to set up continuous 24-7 prayer is growing in many different parts of the nations. A new vision for houses of prayer is being birthed. New initiatives linking prayer and mission continue linked to Hope08. Planning for the Olympic Games is now coming into view!
Global Day of Prayer 2009
For us on the Global Day of Prayer journey, now is the time for us to seek the Lord for what He wants for us in 2009! A number of places have already indicated that they are wanting to link in for 2009 either on Pentecost Sunday itself or through the 10 days of prayer before hand. Please keep us posted of your plans so we can try and gain a sense of how the Lord is leading.

Event planning 2009
If you need help in organising your 2009 GDOP event
Many of us handle the organisation for GDOP events ourselves, but for any wanting to do larger events I am passing on the details of Pure Solutions. Pure Solutions has been working with GDOP London for the past two years and managed all aspects of the stadium events at West Ham and Millwall – even running the online ticketing. They have years of experience of working on Christian events and will be able to help you with all aspects of planning and delivery to ensure that your event is run both creatively and safely.
Andy Barr at Pure Solutions can be reached on 020 8874 7488 (or visit www.pure-solutions.co.uk for more information).
2010... and beyond
As you will have seen from the recent newsletter from South Africa, Graham Power and the organisers of the Global Day of Prayer in South Africa are now talking about 2010 and beyond. In London, we are working towards Wembley Stadium sometime in 2010 and then on to whatever the Lord wants to do for the Olympic Games. We will be in touch again with prayer updates and GDOP news through the autumn and into the New Year.
With thanks for partnership in the gospel!
