This is a round the clock prayer campaign that is happening in the same time frame as the spring 40 Days for Life campaign and one of their focuses is the pro-life cause. If this isn’t meant to be I don’t know what it. If you can make it to any of their events you should definitely do so. A little bit of cross pollination could go a long way with a little divine intervention!
Here’s the announcement with all the info on when, where and why…
Operation Rolling Thunder is a 24/7 prayer movement that links, National Day of Prayer and the Global Day of Prayer to through 24/7 prayer in cities and harnesses the momentum of international prayer events to turn our attention back our communities with a focus on transformation. This has led to Washington State now being covered with 24/7 prayer all year round and the results have been remarkable. Click http://www.watchmanministries
.com/pages.asp?pageid=66569 for the strategy, click http://www.watchmanministries .com/pages.asp?pageid=66974 for an overview and click http://www.watchmanministries .com/pages.asp?pageid=66965 for the history and results. Now that we’ve mobilized large amounts of prayer we are working to link strategic outreach and strategic prayer. I believe 40 Days for Life and ORT will benefit greatly from the cooperative synergy that can result by us working together.
Besides sharing Saturday afternoon regarding “40 Days for Life” I’d like to ask you to be available to lead us in prayer Saturday evening as well.
