“Our nation desperately needs God to unleash His Spirit and bring about a thorough transformation—from every house to the White House. Our deep conviction is that prayer is not just important but indispensable. Prayer At the Heart (PATH), then, is believing God to unite one million Christians—of every denomination, background, and calling—to urgently seek His face together during the 50 days between Passover and Pentecost 2026, praying for one million new followers of Jesus.  This grassroots movement has been growing over the past several years and is rooted in the truth that “apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15). I add my voice to call you, your family, your fellowship, and your sphere of influence to embrace a spirit of deep repentance, desperation in prayer, and total dependence on the Holy Spirit. Join PATH in mobilizing a new generation of believers into fervent prayer and bold outreach—awakened, united, and empowered for the mission ahead with renewed passion, purpose, and expectancy.”

“I am honored to be a part of the vision team supporting Project Pray and the 2026 united prayer effort. God honors unity and our nation needs revival and awakening now. This project comes at a crucial time. May our one-accord prayer from American soil be a launch into the nations for an unprecedented harvest of souls”.  

Tom Phillips

Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Senior Advisor

“Our globe is at a spiritual crossroads.  A Great Revival is our Hope, a true spiritual awakening, an outpouring from God, renewing His people, “recreating His creation”.  May we pray together, unitedly expecting the Lord to move mightily in our midst, exploding His Love and Light of  Salvation for all around this planet!”

Doug Clay

General Superintendent, Assemblies of God

“The 2026 Project is a rallying point for the body of Christ.  It’s simple. Pray, win people to Jesus and look for opportunities to share God’s love in our circle of influence. We can do this. I am excited about this initiative.”

Eddie & Alice Smith

U.S. Prayer Center

“In the mid-1990s, God inspired us to launch a four-year trans-denominational 40-day season of prayer and fasting for the completion of the Great Commission, culminating on Good Friday. We called it PrayUSA! Perhaps you were part of that powerful movement.

Today, our greatest prayer should still be for the fulfillment of the Great Commission. We at the U.S. Prayer Center in Houston, Texas, are excited to join Doug Small in Project 2026. Please mark your calendar and begin praying now for its success!” 

John Whaley

Executive Pioneer, The Rooftop International

“We are thrilled to be a part of this amazing and bold initiative!  Calling the Church to unite behind the mission of Jesus through prayer and engaging the lost is at the heart of all we do at The Rooftop.  Just imagine…one million Christians praying for one million souls to come to Christ TOGETHER for 50 days!  To God be the Glory!”

Millions Praying For Millions

The plan is simple: One Million Christians praying for One Million friends to know Christ.

“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.
