Across the globe, hundreds of millions of Christians are planning to meet together in churches, stadiums, parks and homes for the seventh annual Global Day of Prayer held on Pentecost Sunday. This year, churches in Plymouth & Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin will again be joining an anticipated 220 countries around the world by hosting several prayer and service events before, during and after the Global Day of Prayer on June 12, 2011.
This year marks the 7th official Global Day of Prayer. This prayer movement started at the turn of the millennium when many Christians in Cape Town, South Africa, sensed a calling to assemble in prayer and to seek God. When the invitation went out to the people across their country to assemble in united prayer for their cities and nation, people filled halls and stadiums of every size. Year after year, millions more sought God together from almost every stream or tradition of Christian faith in every country of the African continent. In 2005, the African Christians invited the world to join them and the result was the first Global Day of Prayer on Pentecost Sunday in 2005, drawing an estimated 200 million people.
In 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and again in 2010, on Pentecost Sunday, millions of Christians gathered in almost every country on earth. The movement continues to spread and deepen and this year on June 12, 2011, Christians in the Plymouth/Elkhart Lake area will join the movement by gathering to pray and repent with sincere hearts and united hopes.
In addition to the events held on Pentecost Sunday, there are also prayer meetings being established for the 10 days prior to the event and special service opportunities being offered for the 90 days following the event. Christians from every faith tradition are being encouraged to participate in this worldwide prayer gathering.
