Dear Friends,
Thought you might like to be updated on this amazing thing the Lord is allowing us to do here. Most of you know a little bit about it but in case you missed out on the first round, here you are.
When we heard that CHOGM, the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting would be held in our city in October 2011, we felt to host an international prayer gathering, inviting people from all 54 Commonwealth nations.
That started us on a journey that has just exploded.
Someone suggested we found 54 churches in our city to each take a different nation and pray for it for a year so that when the governmental leaders arrive in our city, which is called the city of Light, then they would have a smooth, safe and very productive meeting, causing major shifts towards godliness and righteousness.
Then some prayer leaders around the nations said they too would like to get their nation on board. So now several other Commonwealth nations are taking part by recruiting 54 churches (at least) to each choose a nation and then sending some delegates to the Commonwealth Christian Assembly in late August or early September 2011.
Then the Lord asked us to also invite local Christian schools to take part and that is happening.
We have informed our Prime Minister, The Governor General of Australia and other dignitaries of our intentions.
(Of course now, we are facing here in Australia a possible change in leadership...pray the outcome will bring greater righteousness!)
Please see the attached document with more information.
Blessings,
Wendy Yapp
