Christian leaders from across the denominational spectrum have gathered Monday at West Ham Football Stadium in East London to prepare for a major new London prayer initiative slated for next May.
The Global Day of Prayer 2007 has succeeded in uniting major Christian organisations including Premier Radio, the African Caribbean Evangelical Alliance (ACEA), Faithworks, Glory House, and Youth With a Mission.
The new plans follow the success of a previous prayer initiative earlier in the summer which saw 1000 Christians gather at Westminster Chapel to celebrate Pentecost as part of their response to the Global Day of Prayer 2006.
The driving motors behind the 2007 initiative are the Bishop of Barking, the Rt Rev David Hawkins, the Rev Peter Watherston, and Pastor Jonathan Oloyede of Glory House, who stressed that “prayer is crucial to transformation”.
