Order Ten-Day Prayer Guide

10 Days of Constant Prayer

May 13 – May 22, 2010  

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.

Join congregations, communities, and cities across Minnesota in prayer for 10 days leading up to Pentecost Sunday, May 23, 2010.

Please bring others in your churches and networks to participate in this growing prayer movement.


Consider ways to gather in extraordinary prayer:

  • Leave your church doors open for small gatherings or plan special prayer times.
  • Prayer together as families or any small group meeting in your home.
  • Organize special concerts of prayer among congregations.
  • Offer 24-hour prayer sign-ups.
  • Fast for one or all of the ten days.
