30 Minute Prayer Challenge
Pray with one or more Christians, where you live, work and/or go to school for 30 minutes per week.Gerard Long explains the 30DPC and briefly outlines his journey of suffering that preceded it.
Why
- America desperately needs a great spiritual awakening – it’s our only hope!
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face (presence), and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” – 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV)
- Jesus commanded us to always pray. ( Luke 18:1, Ephesians 6:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, 1 Peter 4:7 )
- It will encourage the Christian unity that Jesus prayed for ( John 17:21 & 23 ), which will prepare the way for a great awakening.
