History
Arising out of Africa at the dawn of this century, this global prayer movement has swept
the earth in just six years. Some 45,000 people gathered in a stadium in South Africa in
2001, pouring out their hearts in repentance. Since then, the movement swelled to 22
million people gathered at more than 2,000 sites in every one of the 56 countries of
Africa in 2004. The following year, an estimated 200 million people participated around
the world, with the global prayer day beginning in Fiji, moving around the time zones, and
ending back in the Pacific.
10 Days – 1 Day – 90 Days
Based on the Book of Acts, the Global Day of prayer model is inspired by the three parts
of the birth of the Church: ten days of constant prayer leading up to Pentecost, one day
of prayer witnessed by the whole city, and then many days of blessing that followed.
