A Call to Prayer and Fasting
"Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." — Matthew 6:10
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Gafcon Europe invite you to come together for a time of prayer and fasting, seeking the face of God and calling upon His Name for the advancement of His Kingdom and the fulfilment of His purposes in our generation.
Whether you gather with others in your church, home, workplace, or pray alone in the quiet place, we encourage you to set aside time to humble yourselves before the Lord through prayer and fasting. Let us come before Him with repentant hearts, renewed faith, and a deep desire to see His will accomplished on earth as it is in heaven. Let us make St Peters Day 29th June a special day of prayer and fasting
As we fast and pray, let us:
- Seek God's guidance and wisdom for His Church.
- Pray for spiritual renewal and revival across our nations.
- Intercede for our communities, families, and leaders.
- Stand firm for biblical truth and faithful witness.
- Ask the Lord to strengthen those serving Him in ministry.
- Pray for unity among believers and courage to proclaim the Gospel.
- Commit ourselves afresh to Christ's mission and Lordship.
The Scriptures remind us:
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
We particularly encourage you to pray for a number of things that impact Anglicanism in Europe.
1 - Please pray for God's wisdom and strength to be given in abundance to the members of the Alliance in the COE especially in relation to the COE general synod.
2 - Please pray for the supernatural presence of God, His strength and wisdom to be visited powerfully upon those in the Anglican churches in Scotland and Wales who are seeking to honour God and proclaim the gospel
3- Pray for church planting and that the Lord would raise up leaders who would plant Anglican churches across the nations of Europe
4- Pray for AMiE, ANIE, ACE, FCE and AMC in all their work, ministry, evangelism and church planting across the nations.
5- Please pray for Archbishop Laurent Mbanda and Bishop Paul Donison and others working alongside them in their leadership of the Global Anglican Council.
6- Please pray for all faithful Anglicans in your own local setting and for a move of God the Holy Spirit in revival power in these days.
7- Please pray for all of those involved in leadership in Gafcon Europe, for Bishop David McClay, the Board of Trustees, the Bishops Forum and Advocates and the and Bishops Clergy throughout AMiE, ANIE ,ACE, AMC and other Orthodox Anglicans throughout Europe.
Now is a time to seek the Lord. Now is a time to pray. Now is a time to fast. Let us draw near to God with expectation, trusting that He hears the prayers of His people and works powerfully through those who seek Him.
May the Holy Spirit unite us in prayer, strengthen us in faith, and lead us into deeper obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Come, let us call upon the Lord together.
"Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
Amen.
