Join us as we unite with Christians across the world in a week of prayer from Ascension to Pentecost. We are encouraged to praythroughout the week, particularly for five people who have yet to know Jesus.
The movement gives us so many creative ways to do this:
- You could write down the names of the 5 people you are praying for in your phone, or place a note somewhere in your home (like the bathroom mirror) or on a little card and set reminders to pray for them throughout the day.
- You could use a band/shoelace and tie 5 knots, each one representing your 5 or maybe each time you drink a cup of tea, coffee or glass of water, you could remember to pray for them.
- Or perhaps you could turn your everyday journeys into moments of prayer – be it walking, driving or cycling and hold one person each day in prayer, then collectively praying for them at particular points. Or you could try the 555 prayer challenge – praying blessings over your 5 people daily at 5pm. There are so many wonderful ways to pray.
We invite each and every member of our churches to pray that God’s Spirit might work in the lives of 5 people who have not responded with their ‘Yes’ to God’s call.
