SUMMARY:100 days of prayer
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to 100 Days of Prayer\nWe are living in a world full of digital distractions\, consuming cares\, busyness\, and broken down altars of worship.

And he repaired the altar of the LORD [that was] broken down.” 1 Kings 18:30 \nOver the course of fourteen weeks (April 4 – July 12\, 2025)\, we will be praying for an outpouring of the Latter Rain on our world church\, growing together as disciples for the Kingdom\, and preparing our hearts for Jesus’ soon return. \nEach Friday morning\, during the Back to the Altar | 100 Days of Prayer\, all those registered will receive an e-mail which will include: \n\nA short revival or miracle testimony to build faith\nA short but packed inspirational Back to the Altar themed Bible study\n\nThis study will include fun interactive activities and questions that one can do alone\, with friends/family\, the church\, or a small group.\n\n\nIt will include personal heart challenges and inspiring video illustrations.\n\n\nIt will include practical spiritual disciplines to incorporate into your daily life\, as well as much\, much more.\n\n\nParticipants can sign up to receive a daily “prayer focus” on WhatsApp.\nThose who desire can also participate in a 1 hour weekly revival session on zoom hosted by members of the Back to the Altar leadership team.
