Millions to Unite in Prayer for Global Day of Prayer on June 12th ....Local events in (Vallecito) planned in support of worldwide prayer initiative
Vallecito,CA....Across the globe, hundreds of millions of Christians are planning to meet together in churches, stadiums, parks and homes for the seventh annual Global Day of Prayer held on Pentecost Sunday. (Calaveras County) will be joining the world by hosting several prayer events before, during and after the Global Day of Prayer on June 12th. .....
This year marks the seventh official Global Day of Prayer. The movement started at the turn of the millennium when many Christians in Cape Town, South Africa, sensed a calling to assemble in prayer and to seek God. When the invitation went out to the people across their country to assemble in united prayer for their cities and nation, people filled halls and stadiums of every size. Year after year, millions more sought God together from almost every stream or tradition of Christian faith in every country of the African continent. In 2005, the African Christians invited the world to join them and the result was the first Global Day of Prayer on Pentecost Sunday in 2005, drawing an estimated 200 million people.
In 2006, 2007 and 2008 on Pentecost Sunday, millions of Christians gathered together to participate and in 2009, every country was represented in the event. Christians continue to gather every year, and on June 12th, 2011, Christians in (Calaveras County) will join the movement by gathering at (4977 Parrotts Ferry Road, Vallecito) from (1:30-3:00) to pray and repent with sincere hearts and united hopes.
In addition to the events held on Pentecost Sunday, there are also prayer vigils being established for the 10 days prior to the event and special service opportunities being offered for the 90 days following the event. Christians from every faith tradition are being encouraged to participate in this worldwide prayer gathering.
