Here are some summary highlights and prayer concerns from the North American Prayer Summit that happened in Toronto, August 12-13.

Some of the NAPS prayer leaders from Mexico, Canada and the USA also took part in the UPRISING Canada prayer gathering of about 300 on-fire Millennials and youth. Here are some of the comments by NAPS participants about that experience:

We were touched by their“humility and worship”and it was “rejuvenating to be togethers”. “Our generations need one another”, as one older prayer leader affirmed.

The manager who was one of the “Toronto Blessing” participants and founders of the Catch the Fire Church was grateful for the boldness of the youth and a touch of revival they carried with them that has not been experienced for 20 years!

The youth were“alive and receptive” as well as “fresh, clean, vibrant and passionate”. They are“our future and the hope for the prayer movement”. The generations need to run together for a while to pass baton effectively.

NAPS is an annual, or sometimes biennial, gathering that includes a wonderful time of relationship-building and united prayer for the three nations of North America and our world. We have met nine times being hosted in all three nations since the launch of the IPC in 2001. For more information about NAPS, please write to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Prayer concerns that arose during NAPS:

Children in Prayer:

Luke 10:18-21 Jesus rejoiced over the role of children, saying they would get the revelation of authority to bring Satan down. A research project conducted by a Christian humanitarian organization in several nations resulted in many miracles as the kids prayed about specific community needs (wells, clinics established where there were none;terminal illnesses healed; community divisions ended; terrorists unable to get into those areas, etc.)Since then, kids have joined in many international prayer initiatives and there have been three CiP global consultations to learn and share resources. 70-80 nations have CiP networks or initiatives so dar. What about intentionally developing CiP in all three nations of North America? CiP is an important key to socio-political transformation and fulfillment of Great Commission throughout our world.

Prayer concerns:

1. For the CiP movement to arise and cover the cities and towns of our continent and all nations.
2. That church leadership will have a paradigm shift and include kids and youth as full ministry partners for prayer and mission.
3. That the need to control and fear of losing it will be broken over churches and leaders in order to equip and empower children and youth to go for it for Christ and His mission for their lives.

Mexico:

President Obrador or “AMLO”- some are concerned that he might take Mexico in the wrong direction (socialism), but some think he is a nationalist, not a Marxist, and that he will deal with governmental corruption and help the poor.

1. Pray for him to do what is right before God and have wisdom to confront the nation’s serious economic, narco-trafficking, and other issues.
2. Pray for the binding and overthrow of the spirit of death called Santa Muerte or Saint Death that probably relates to the Aztec and Mayan practice of mass human sacrifice and the awful death toll from the drug trade and cartels.
3. Pray for the 7 million unemployed youth that are getting sucked into the drug trade and for the defeat and dissolution of the drug cartels and their destructive influence on Mexico and all of North America.
4. Pray also for a good solution for the immigration problem that bedevils the relationship between Mexico and the USA.

North American Security:

(Presentation from a high ranking authority involved in the North America military structure)

1. Vets of wars need special attention and help due to homelessness and suicide. Let’s pray for them also.
2. Our three countries need each other because the competition between the great powers has returned. China and Russia have been building their militaries and developing sophisticated weaponry while we have been embroiled with fighting terrorism. Pray that our militaries will get smart and work together closely.
3. Pray for a cutting off of the drug flow from the Caribbean and Mexico fueled by the insatiable demand from Americans and Canadians.

Canada

An initiative against SOGI (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity) effort to pervert the culture and children was presented. 105 pastors have signed and they hope to involve 100,000 pastors across the nation. It will be a trumpet call and will cause reaction by government and media. Pray for the success of this initiative, and especially for the fear of God to come upon Canadians along with a desire to re-establish righteousness and justice in national life. Pray for the pastors and churches right across Canada to rise up and speak out.

Overview of the Canada landscape presented and the issue of how the present governments (and previous governments) have caused a deterioration of fundamental Christian morality and beliefs. Canada has been sliding in this regard. Pray that the Canadian Christians and churches willrise upto make a real difference.

USA

Prayer Concerns for the US Prayer Movement

1. Give thanks to the Lord for growing unity and pray for the US prayer movement to flow like the Amazon (tributaries that become one unstoppable force for His revival and transformation of the nation)
2. Pray for oneness of US prayer leaders, no longer being competitors but flowing together and wanting each other’s success more than our own. (Roundtable of US prayer leaders each month for prayer and updates)
3. For several national prayer initiatives over the next 2 months to shift the atmosphere of the nation and break the power of the spirit of division that is tearing us apart.
4. For access to the White House and Congress during the National Prayer Assembly to pray with our officials.

General Prayer Concerns

• For President Trump and his administration to be guided by the Lord with wisdom and humility.
• For the US mainstream media to repent for their false news and attacks on the current administration and for “Deep State” antagonists to be identified and brought to justice.
• Confirmation of Brett Cavanagh to Supreme Court and additional conservative justices (2 more?)
• For the mid-term elections in November to bring down the wicked in power and replace them with God-fearing, upright people who will love and serve the people rather than themselves.
• For good relations with our “enemies” in order to become friends and spread His peace and restoration to our world (Russia, China, North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, etc.)
• For better relationships and mutual support with our friends (Canada, Mexico, Europe, Israel, etc.)
