BACKGROUND:
In 2001, one stadium Cape Town, South Africa was filled with 45,000 people to pray. In 2002, it expanded to eight stadiums and 350,000. A year later 2.5 million gathered in 130 stadiums. On May 2, 2004 , the movement exploded to nearly ten times the size. More than 22 million rallied in prayer at more than 2000 sites throughout every single country on the continent of Africa (56 nations). Leaders from most traditions of Christian faith called their people to join in this historic act of united prayer. Now African leaders are inviting Christians around the world to pray with them. It will be the first ever Global Day of Prayer.
WHAT HAPPENED :
On June 4th, 2006, leaders called together believers in West Michigan to gather at 4 pm and pray for the harvest. Our unity was demonstrated in two major venues— Holland , Hope College Chapel and Grand Rapids, Garfield Park. Both venues experienced a unity of spirit in prayer, and desire for the harvest.
