WPA 2012: A New Wave Is Coming - 29 Mar 2012

What impact could tens of millions of Christians from across the planet, uniting in prayer, have on the course of history? 


Momentum is growing for the World Prayer Assembly gathering that is being co-hosted by the Indonesian and Korean Prayer movements, two of the most powerful prayer forces in the world. On May 17, 100,000 believers will be gathering to pray in the national stadium of Jakarta, with a speculated further five million Christians, from 400 cities throughout the nation, also participating. Global Day of Prayer will be broadcasting the event globally through satellite TV to further tens of millions. The result of this venture will mark the WPA as an unparalleled day of united prayer around the world.

The WPA process will also see the launch of the “My Home” initiative which hopes to see 15 million Christians adopting their own streets for prayer and doing acts of kindness for their neighbours, this will continue for a further two years. In Indonesia the youth are starting their own initiative to bless the five cities of greater Jakarta with free medical treatments and constructing public toilets.



Indonesia already stands as a powerful nation in prayer. They currently have fifty-two “prayer towers” that are continually manned by intercessors praying 24-7-365. There are almost 1100 “prayer bases” where believers and leaders meet weekly to pray together. However they are increasing the effort in the run up to WPA with a further 2000 gathering weekly in Jakarta until its launch in May.

 Here are some ways in which we can stand with them in the build up to this momentous event.

1.     That the people the Lord is calling from every nation will be able to come to WPA

2.     For many hundreds of children and youth from all 12 world regions would be able to take part

3.     Financial provision for the WPA to be abundantly supplied for every individual need

4.     Unity between the leaders of the co-hosting countries, Indonesia and Korea.

5.     Humility, joy, unity and the anointing of the Holy Spirit during the planning process., especially March 27-  29 when the Indonesian leaders will meet to seek the Lord for his agenda

6.     Continued favour of the political authorities and the people of Indonesia

7.     Protection over the people and WPA venues and a creative solution for Jakarta’s legendary traffic problem

8.     A great wave of the spirit of revival and transformation to be released during the WPA to flow through Indonesia and all the Nations of the Earth
