The Nehemiah Alliance

As we mobilize 1 million Christians to pray for 1 million souls to come to Christ, we are partnering with The Nehemiah Alliance in calling the Body of Christ to pray for revival and spiritual awakening through a 52-day prayer initiative.

The Nehemiah Alliance is a national movement commissioning an Alliance of Gatekeepers to rebuild our walls of blessing & protection around our 50 States and Nation through unified prayer, fasting & repentance, as modeled in the Book of Nehemiah, in 52 Days from sundown on Thursday, September 10, 2026, through sundown All Saints Sunday, November 1, 2026.

Christians will take their place as “Gatekeepers” by following Nehemiah’s charge to “build the wall in front of their own homes” by interceding for their families, neighborhoods, schools, churches, businesses, and governments.

The Gatekeeper Commitment is threefold:
1) PRAY: Pray daily during the 52 days, the short “United Prayer for America.”
2) FAST: Fast 3 days on the first full day 9/11/26, the final day 11/1/26, & the day assigned to your state, as the Holy Spirit leads you.
3) BE A GATEKEEPER: Be a gatekeeper in front of your “own house” by praying for your family, schools, church, city, and state, etc.

On the 52nd day, people of faith from across the nation will gather online or in person on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in sacred assembly to seek His face to heal our land, as we intercede for our leaders and citizens. Dr. Small and John Whaley have been invited to speak at this event.

In partnership with The Million Souls Campaign, The Nehemiah Alliance is seeking God for 1 million people to come to Christ during the 52 days.

We are asking that every person who signs up to be a part of The Million Souls Campaign visit www.na52.org and sign up to be a Gatekeeper as we join them in praying for revival and spiritual awakening in America.

The Nehemiah Alliance will be asking all the Gatekeepers to become one of the million praying for a million by joining The Million Souls Campaign.

We are also asking ALL PASTORS to lead their church to become a Discipleship Partner Church and be a streaming site in your area for the Sacred Assembly on Saturday, October 31 at the National Mall.

Through this joint partnership, we are asking God to use both movements as a catalyst in preparing the way for the next great spiritual awakening.

“Whenever God determines to do a great work, He first sets His people to pray” (C. Spurgeon). This reliable principle begs the question: “How does God mobilize his people to heartfelt prayer?” Most importantly, how does God move Christian leaders who shepherd His church to unite in fervent, persistent, biblically focused prayer for the fulfillment of His purposes? By two things mainly: 1) distress over the degradation of the church and the surrounding culture and 2) hope that God will pour out His Spirit on his church and fill it with His fulness until it overflows with transformative impact on society. Many believers are distressed at the current state of things. At the same time, there is much reason to hope for God’s divine intervention in response to passionate, biblically guided prayer.

Believers across America now mourn the debility of the church; its vitality is faltering, its impact fading, its mission neglected, and its devotion to God being undercut by love for this world. Right now we are enduring the largest and fastest religious shift in American history. Its scope is greater than every previous spiritual awakening in our history combined, only in the opposite direction. Christians are being confronted by “spiritual forces of evil” (Eph. 6:12) operating from the heavenly realms that boldly infiltrate every aspect of society, even the church. These dark powers aim to 1) frustrate God’s purpose to bless all peoples on earth through Christ with countless benefits, including righteousness, peace, joy, and justice, and 2)
inflict endless varieties of misery on everyone. When spiritual decline and cultural decay prevail, God’s people rise up to seek the Lord in prayer as the fountain of every blessing, asking him to fill the earth with his glory, pour out His Holy Spirit, inspire his church, and deliver people and cultures from innumerable troubles. Now is the time to pray with desperation for spiritual and cultural renewal, for divine intervention, for the fulfillment of God’s purposes for his church and his creation in Northeast Ohio.

Christian leaders, especially pastors, have a heightened responsibility to press into God with prayer for the church. Biblical precedent shows that gathering church leaders together to engage in heartfelt prayer for the welfare of their community often initiates widespread spiritual and social renewal both in church and society (2 Chron. 7:13-14; 15:8-10; 34:29-32). New Testament accounts show that when Christian leaders unite in prayer, often in response to social and/or spiritual crises, spiritual awakening and gospel advance follow (Acts 1:13-14; 2:1-4; 4:23-31; 13:1-3).

Jesus himself instills expectation of an outpouring of God’s Spirit in response to prayer with this promise: “If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:13). Our Father in heaven is especially ready to pour out upon us the blessing we most need and long for, the very Spirit of God who imparts divine life, wisdom, and virtue.

With all this in mind, now is the time for Christian leaders across Northeast Ohio to come together to seek the Lord with biblically grounded, Christ-directed, wholehearted prayer for a God-given spiritual awakening. The trumpet of God is blaring! He is calling us to pray! Join Christian leaders from across our region to humble ourselves, seek the Lord’s face, and be willing to respond through His intervening grace to any changes He calls us to make! (Psalm 110:3)

The Gathering is an extension of the nationwide PATH (Prayer at the Heart) initiative piloted recently in Northeast Ohio. Put The Gathering on your calendar: Sunday, September 24, 6 pm, Calvary Chapel of Cleveland, 709 Brook Park Road, Brooklyn Heights, OH.
