Strategy

A simple strategy will be implemented each year:

• 10 Days of day-and-night prayer preceding and leading up to the Global Day of Prayer
• A Global Day of Prayer
•  90 Days of Blessing and continuing prayer, following the Global Day of Prayer

Why 10-1-90? We find inspiration for the Global Day of Prayer in the three parts of the birth of the Church (Acts 1 – 2) ten days of constant prayer leading to Pentecost; one day of prayer witnessed by the whole city; and days of blessing that followed.

Ten days of constant prayer: On Ascension Day, millions of Christians will find ways to pray night and day throughout the ten days leading to Pentecost, following the pattern of Christ's followers before the first Pentecost.

The Global Day of Prayer: On Pentecost Sunday, Christians in almost every country will assemble to pray. Many will gather in small groups such as prayer groups, homes, local churches, businesses and some may even assemble in large stadiums and other public venues. In some places, television, radio and internet will help to connect and align our prayers even more. Once again the challenge would be to mobilize an all-year-round move of prayer.

Ninety days of blessing: As in the first Pentecost, transformed Christians transform their communities as they offer themselves to God as instruments through which their prayers can be answered. The Global Day of Prayer anticipates the forming or furthering of local alliances among pastors, churches, missions and business leaders
