Pray 4 the Nations
At WPC, the team pray for a nation every day during our morning prayer time. We wondered if you would like to join us to Pray 4 the Nations.
We pray in our prayer room which has a huge map of the world on the wall – sometimes we need to check where our designated country is! Our pattern is to pray week days alternating between one of the fifty top persecuted nations (using information from Open Doors UK and other sources) and other nations of the world. We will pray for the country where elections are being held. We've found it useful to use information from Operation World to shape and inform our prayer.
We pray as the spirit leads us – listening to each other – using the scriptures to understand God's character and purpose as we pray. The purpose of prayer is to pray that Gods will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Jesus loves each nation and desires that people will be saved – we listen to him so that we can pray with faith and authority. Praying for the nations is a real privilege.

WPC Prayer Mob
You’ve heard of a flash mob or maybe a smart mob? A flash mob is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place and perform an unusual act for a quick time before quickly dispersing.
WPC Prayer Teams will be doing a prayer mob in Newton Heath, Manchester on 5 September 2015!
The Living Stones Christian community have been living and sharing faith on the Troydale Estate in Newton Heath over a number of years. As they seek the Lord for a breakthrough for an expansion of the Kingdom of God, they have invited us to spend a day standing with them in prayer in this needy inner city area. We’ll be out and about, so you’ll need to be reasonably fit and active, but if you’d like to join us on the day send us your contact details and location and we’ll send you information for the day and when and where to meet.

2000 PEOPLE JOIN IN BLOWING THE TRUMPET IN THE UK
On Saturday 4th July, 2000 people joined together in prayer and worship to ‘blow the trumpet’ in the ‘heart of the nation’. Christians from different cultures, denominations and ages descended on the International Convention Centre in Birmingham as World Prayer Centre hosted a national day of worship and prayer in response to God asking them to blow a trumpet in the land.
It was an awesome day of declaration, prayer and worship and there were powerful times of prayer for nations represented at the event- Greece, South Korea, Germany, and others. Prayer stations were created around the hall and people were encouraged to pray for the pillars of society – health, sport, education, business, religion, finance and the arts, media and entertainment.
DECLARING THE PURPOSES OF OUR GOD
A trumpet is blown to announce change and mobilise the Body of Christ. This is the time for rivers in the desert, for a dramatic and fresh move of God. It is time for God’s Word and Spirit to raise our faith, draw us closer to Jesus and fill us with a deep desire for His presence. He is calling his whole church to pray and prepare for an unparalleled spiritual harvest. These will be turbulent times – but Jesus reigns over every situation – and His love and grace will prevail.
PREPARING TO BLOW THE TRUMPET
Feel free to use the trumpet call declaration (below) used at TRUMPET CALL 2015 to mobilise people locally. You may wish to use this in a small group, prayer meeting, and church meeting or declare it over your village, town, neighbourhood or city. You may not have an actual trumpet – but making this declaration is a call for God’s people to be ready for action. There are four elements to the declaration.
- It is an announcement by faith of God’s heart and purpose.
- It will release prayer – determined, ongoing prayer to see His Kingdom come.
- It raises our expectation – God is moving in new ways in our land by His spirit.
- It positions us in a new place – with a passion for the presence of Jesus and a heart to bless.
OUR DECLARATION
The Supremacy of Christ
We declare that Jesus is the Creator and sustainer of all things, He is the Saviour of the world, He is the Head of the church, He is the Lord of our lives, He is the Hope for the world, and He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Hallelujah!
The Salvation of Christ
We declare the Gospel of Christ, His life, death, resurrection and ascension is God’s plan for the redemption of all mankind. We declare Christ and Him crucified; that Calvary is a place of forgiveness, cleansing, healing and victory over death. We declare it’s time for harvest; a mighty move of God touching every part of this nation and our continent.
The Unity of God’s Church
We declare that our strong desire is to fulfil the prayer of Jesus that we be one, believing the Scripture that, “When brothers and sisters dwell together in unity, there God bestows His blessing even life for ever more.”
Release for our Children and Young People
We declare and prophesy a Jesus Generation of boys and girls, young men and women who will walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, knowing God’s protection, mercy and blessing as they take the Gospel to their families, friends, communities and the nations.
We declare the Grace and Mercy of God over each other and from this place the Trumpet Sound to reverberate in every village, town, city and nation, “That the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” Amen and Amen.
