Pakistan 40-Day Prayer and Fasting Campaign January 1-February 9

The Intercessors Network of Pakistan encourages 40 days of prayer and fasting, hoping to enlist churches throughout the country to commit. This follows a precedent set in an earlier 40-day campaign in August-September, 2010. The campaign is based on 2nd Chronicles 7:14 and aimed to motivate the church to pray for the country and for God’s people to seek His face and intercede for the healing of the Land.
Prayers will be for a national spiritual revival against social injustices, social evils, against corruption, violence, terrorism, extremism, praying for strength for the Pakistani Church and Christians in the face of ongoing persecution, and for humanitarian emergencies along with many other national concerns. The campaign will also be a coordinated effort for future prayer mobilization, so that towns, cities and rural areas throughout the country will become filled with ongoing prayer and intercession for the manifestation of His Kingdom values in the churches and the Nation.
We are also aiming to use the campaign as a springboard to ignite new prayer initiatives. This campaign will mobilize up to 500 plus churches/groups/ministries and individuals in 30 cities across the country. We have faith that this prayer campaign will mobilize 25,000-plus Christians to pray during these 40 days and raise a much needed prayer cover of 24/7 during these 40 days for Pakistan.
Please pray for Pakistan:
1. For unity among Christians/church leaders and denominational barriers coming down.
2. For abolition or repeal of the blasphemy laws and for the Christian brothers and a sister who are in prison facing trials, falsely accused under this law.
3. For safety and security of brothers and sisters who live under constant threat of being persecuted under the blasphemy laws, especially in Punjab.
4. For sustainability of 24/7 and other prayer watches that are going on, that the Pakistani church will understand the power of corporate prayers, and that churches will move into a culture of prayer.
5. For a spiritual awakening of the church on a national level so that the gospel can spread across the country.
6. Pray for the end of different types of shortages that are occurring in Pakistan: water, electricity, natural gas, food commodities like, cooking oil, sugar etc. That the government will take sincere measures to resolve these issues which are making the everyday life miserable.
7. That the rising extremism and radicalization will be curbed and that the strong- holds of terrorism in the country will be destroyed.
8. That the Pakistani church will be especially focusing prayer against corruption in all spheres of life and praying for the strongholds to be taken down.
9. For the government and judiciary to put their own house in order and take extreme measures against this evil.
