TARGETING
Britain is in crisis. Christians and Government are divided – our whole future is in question. Britain was once a Godly Nation but has now turned away from God. Brexit and the Authority of the Bible have divided church and state. Join us in unity for a Day of Prayer Saturday 26 January 2019 at The SSE Arena, Wembley. Psalm 133 says, ‘When Brethren dwell in unity, the Lord commands the blessing’. We can change Britain through the power of prayer when we unite in intercession.
Intercessions will be led by David Hathaway, Clifford Hill, Rev Betty King, Andrea Williams, Lou Engle, Bishop John Francis, Pastor Nims Obunge, Rachel Hickson, Rev Yemi Adedeji, Pastor Tobi Adeboyega, James Aladiran, Apostle Elijah Chanak, and other national leaders to be announced.

THE 2012 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER SEPT 29 2012
Back in the 1990's a Christian man had a vision in which he saw thousands of Christians gathered together for a Prayer Rally in a new Stadium at Wembley. This occurred at a time when the old stadium was still there and no news of a new one had been announced.
So on Saturday Sept 29th. 2012 tens of thousands of Christians from many churches and denomination of the Church in Britain met for 4 hours of Praise and Prayer in this new Stadium
The event was broadcast “live” on Premier Christian Radio and the technical side caused some challenges, when the sound system failed, and when on the broadcast we could not hear a thing,
But once that had been sorted out the event proceeded following the order of the LORD'S PRAYER
beginning with Praise and Thanksgiving, going on to Supplication – praying for our needs, Confession and Forgiveness and to Intercession [ Praying for other people] and then for
and Worldwide Mission For Yours is the Kingdom the Power and the Glory for ever and ever AMEN”.
The worship songs were well uptodate and the Collection was taken up to help pay the expenses using buckets but also encouraging people to use their ipods, pads, tablets, blackberries to text £5 or £10 to 770.
After PRAISE and THANKSGIVING TO JESUS CHRIST, King of all Kings. King of Heaven
King of the Kingdom of God , the Crowd rose to sing as a Prayer the 2 verses of GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
Then we prayed for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Prince Philip the Lord High Admiral, Charles Prince of Wales, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall, William and Kate Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Henry of Wales [ Prince Harry ] ,Anne Princess Royal, Andrew Duke of York, Edward Earl of Wessex, and their partners and as appropriate children and other member of the Royal Family, and we did so out loud in groups.
Pictures were projected of the great events of 2012. The Diamond Jubilee, The Royal Tours, The River Regatta, the Procession, the Party at the Palace, the Thanksgiving Service at St Paul's, The Torch Relay, the Olympic Games and the Para Olympic Games.
We were told how 8.5 million [people had sat down for the Big Lunch and prayed for the Nation. How Churches Together in South Reading had served 5000 people in a Lunch extending a quarter of a mile over 250 tables set out end to end, and 2000 of them received Jubilee New Testaments.
We were told how a Factory Owner had given all his 1,500 workers a commemorative Jubilee New Testament How a Church offered to do this at one school near them and in gaining permission were asked,”Why just one school why not all the schools in town?” so that way 10,000 children and students received them
At a Torch Relay VIKING MISSION. event at Newcastle a teenage boy received Christ as his Saviour and became a Christian, Within 24 hours he had led 15 of his mates to Jesus Christ.
When Moslem young people had become Christians at Holiday Bible Clubs.
That 80 Church Leaders with members of both Houses of Parliament and leaders of Industry, Commerce and National Life, had met for an hour of silent prayer for the Nation
The outcome of that had been that they emphasised 3 matters they were led to announce.
1.An Urgent warning of God's Judgement facing the UK
2.That Christians need to speak out boldly what ever the reaction.
3.They'd received a Promise from God that if we act now He plans to lead this Nation back from the abyss facing us to Himself..
We prayed for the NATION to turn in Repentance to God and seek His mercy., and receive his forgiveness and become Christ's followers as in previous generations.
We prayed for Scotland, Northern Ireland. The Isle of Man, Wales, England, the Channel Islands, and some added the Isle if Wight, the Shetlands, Orkneys and Scillies.
We prayed for London and other cities.
We prayer for the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, the Government, the Opposition, the Civil servants, the Party leaders, Judges, Magistrates, Councillors at all levels of local government.
We prayed “LORD In your wrath upon our Nation because of the sins of our Nation please remember mercy.!”
We were reminded that 7 times during World War Two, King George the Sixth, himself a Christian, called upon the whole Nation to gather on specific days to pray for deliverance including just before the Dunkirk evacuation when the Admiralty planned to evacuate 45,000 solders but in fact another 300,000 were evacuated. GOD NEVER DOES THINGS BY HALVES!.
Another occasion was just before D-DAY. God heard the prayer of the majority of our Nation and Allied Forces won the battle for freedom for Europe, and later for the Pacific and Asian Region from the Japanese, though great had been the cost.
But after the war people became to be cynical,unbelieving, disillusioned, and the churches emptied, and thousands of chapels and missions have been closed down, and worship in thousands of schools has ceased.
So the Morality of the Nation including it's honesty, and decency has declined so that scarcely 4% of those under 14 regard God and Christianity of any importance. Half the churches have no children's organisations or youth work. The Church had been weakened. The foundations of the Nation have been rocked and in many cases undermined. The Nation has embraced abortion, evolution as if it was proven fact instead of ill proved theory, the gay lifestyle, sexual perversion, drug addiction including alcoholism, promiscuity, single sex marriages, and increasingly spiritism and witchcraft is increasing.
Child abuse, sexual crime, wife bashing,pornography, prostitution, greed has increased. Thousands of marriages have terminated in divorce probably millions of couples are living together unmarried. There is widespread social, economic, and political division born of corruption in high places.
We have strayed from the Foundations our Nation was built upon = Compassion, Care Concern, Trust, Honesty, Thrift, Generousity, Hospitality, Courtesy.
We prayed for the National Family, and for all the families of this Nation.
We prayed that God would raise up new leaders of integrity for this Nation
Men and Women of God, Authority and Power.
We prayed for Christian impact upon our Nation's 2 million children under 15.
We were reminded that of the Christians in this land 80% had become Christians by the age of 14. Also that only 15% of Church Missionary giving is for work amongst children
We were reminded how Mr Kimball, a Sunday School teacher in America 150 years ago, being concerned that a 14 year old had not been to Sunday School for some weeks so he visited him at his home and talked to him seriously about the state of his soul. The young man became a Christian, and a Church Member and his name was Dwight Moody who became an evangelist and amongst many whose lives he was used to change was F.B,Meyer who as an evangelist impacted Wilson ChappelI who led to Christ Billy Sunday the Cornishman who became an evangelist and led several young business men to Christ at Charlotte in North Carolina who organised a 3 week mission at which after 2 weeks there was only 1 respondent and the last week was cancelled, But that one person was Billy Graham and the rest is worldwide history. And it all started with a diligent Sunday School teacher.
The Millennium Prayer Anthem was sung.
” OUR FATHER WHO ARE IN HEAVEN HALLOWED BE THY NAME”
We were told about Increasing support for OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD which since it's inception has delivered shoe boxes packed with toys, writing materials, soap, goodies to over 93,000,000 children and this year want to add on that to reach 100,000,000. We saw how this impacted in Mongolia, one of the 100 countries reached.
We listened to children praying in various languages.
Also we had a group of children on the pitch involved in a commitment to pray for their school friends and other children in their school classes.
.
We learned more about the work of TEAR FUND and were reminded that 1 in 7 people on Earth go to bed at night hungry. And that just 1 Church adopting a Church in Africa can make a great difference for good. So what about thousands of churches getting involved,
We were alerted to the need to improve the laws and their implementation as to not carrying knives and guns, as prayed by a young man who had survived 4 shootings.
We learned about 3 Initiatives in the planning stage
1.CROSSING LONDON 2013
Encouraging Leaders
Equipping Christians
Engaging Communities
Encountering Jesus
including recruiting Christians to pray and work and raising money for
2.A YEAR OF MISSION DURING 2014 to reach everyone in London including all communities within the M25 circle.
Though we said “Why only London, but spread it over all, British cities, towns and villages?”
3 NEIGHBOURHOOD PRAYER NETWORKS
establishing Cells and Groups all over Britain to pray for each street and road on a regular basis for the people living in them.
So thousands went home determined to redouble their efforts to pray and work for the Kingdom of God.
