“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place”
– Acts 2 : 1
The Global Day of Prayer Strategy follows the three parts of the beginning of the Church
according to Acts 1 and 2:
10 – 1 – 90
Ten days of constant prayer.
Beginning on Ascension Day, millions of Christians will find ways to pray night and day
throughout the ten days leading to Pentecost Sunday and
the Global Day of Prayer.
On Pentecost Sunday, Christians in many countries will assemble to pray. Some will assemble in large stadiums and other public venues. Many will gather in small groups or in homes.
Ninety days of blessing.
As in the first Pentecost, transformed Christians transform their communities as they offer themselves to God as instruments through which their prayers can be answered.
We would like to encourage you to not miss out on this opportunity to unite with millions around the world.
The 10 Days of day and night prayer help us to gradually build a lifestyle of prayer in our communities, as well as to focus our prayers much wider than our personal and national needs.
· Praying the Lord’s Prayer.
To help us pray with united hearts and minds during the ten days before Pentecost, we’ll follow the prayer that our Lord taught us to pray.
· Praying great things.
We’re gathering to pray for God to fulfill the great things that He has promised: His transforming blessing in every people, and the life-giving glory of Christ’s Lordship in every community.
· Concerning deepest needs.
As we stretch our hearts in hope for what God has purposed, He will help us pray with confident clarity for the urgent needs of our families, cities and nations.
You can find the 10 Day Prayer Guide in different formats HERE .
You are welcome to adapt the contents to suit your community’s/city’s/nation’s needs.
Youth and Children need to be encouraged to participate
and therefore a Youth- and Children’s Guide is also made available.
You will find prayer points for the different nations on the website by selecting the nation of your choice
in the drop-down box on the homepage.

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common.” – Acts 2 : 42 – 44
