RECOVER THE ALTAR. BUILD THE WATCH. CARRY THE BURDEN.
Prayer is where the Prayer Union movement begins.
We believe prayer is more than an occasional activity or a response to crisis. Prayer is a way of lifeβa place of worship, surrender, intercession, discernment and participation in the purposes of God.
Prayer Union calls believers everywhere to return to the altar, take their place on the wall, carry the burdens God places before them, and prevail together in prayer.

COME TO THE ALTAR
Before we ask God to change our communities, we come before Him ourselves.
Before we carry the burdens of others, we surrender our own burdens to Him.
Before we seek revival, we seek God.
Before we go to the nations, we kneel before the Lord of the harvest.
Prayer begins with God’s presence.
COME AS YOU ARE.
Bring your worship.
Bring your questions.
Bring your burdens.
Bring your family.
Bring your community.
Bring the nations.
COME AND PRAY.

TAKE YOUR PLACE ON THE WALL
A Prayer Watch is a designated period in which believers intentionally give themselves to prayer for specific spiritual burdens.
You may pray:
Morning
Midday
Evening
Night
or at another time established by your Prayer Union.
The goal is not simply to fill a timetable.
THE GOAL IS FAITHFUL WATCHFULNESS.
A Prayer Watch may be personal, family-based, local, national or global.
You can pray alone.
You can pray with others.
You can join an existing Prayer Watch.
Or you can help establish one.

π₯ PREVAILING PRAYER
PRAY UNTIL WE SECURE THE RESULT
Prevailing prayer is persistent prayer rooted in faith, Scripture, surrender and obedience.
It does not mean manipulating God or demanding a particular outcome.
It means remaining faithful to the burden God has placed before us while trusting His wisdom, timing and purposes.
We pray.
We watch.
We listen.
We discern.
We obey.
We continue.
WE DO NOT GIVE UP EASILY.
Prayer Union seeks to recover a culture of prayer in which believers learn to remain before God until the burden has been faithfully carried.

Allow Scripture to shape:
WHAT WE PRAY
HOW WE PRAY
WHAT WE BELIEVE
HOW WE RESPOND
PRAY THE SCRIPTURES

Sometimes prayer begins with a burden we cannot easily explain.
A person.
A family.
A city.
A nation.
A people.
A situation.
A missionary.
A church.
A generation.
Bring that burden before God.
Do not carry it alone.
SHARE THE BURDEN.
STAND IN THE GAP.
PRAY.

Raise workers.
Prepare the fields.
Open doors.
Prepare hearts.
Strengthen the Church.
Mobilize believers.
Send missionaries.
Establish churches.
Reach the unreached.
And let the Gospel advance among all peoples.
THEN ASK:
βLord, what part are You asking me to play in the answer?β
