IPC Initiatives

1 UK Trumpet Call National Day of Prayer, July 4- Ian Cole reported that over 2000 from every area of Britain took part and it was a time of great blessing and encouragement as they focused on His supremacy, the Cross of Christ with prayer leaders from other parts of Europe as well. These prayer leaders also had a very positive time planning the European Trumpet Call event that will happen in Romania, Aug 31-Sept 4. There are huge issues now like fear of terrorist attacks, financial uncertainty with the Greece and Eurozone, migrants pouring in from North Africa and the Middle East, etc. In spite of this, some of us believe that the Lord is going to send revival on this region as He did in the 1600s and 1700s. May it be so!
Please pray for the outpouring of the Spirit upon the UK and Europe and for new movements of revival to arise among the younger generation especially.
2 International Children's Intercessors Conference (Royal Kids), August 6-9, Chennai, India- some difficulties have been caused by local people so the event will be limited in size with not as many internationals taking part.
The Kumba Mela, starting July 15 for two months. It is expected to draw up to 65 million Hindus. The intercessors prayed at the spot in Nasik near Mumbai for 100 hours. Pray that it will be a breakthrough for the Lord and His mission among them and for those who are seeking to reach the pilgrims with the Gospel.
3 Global Issachar Group, South Asia Region, August 11-14, Colombo, Sri Lanka- about 35 leaders are registered to take part from the region and outside. The focus of the consultation will be on understanding and overcoming spiritual darkness in the region. Please pray for this gathering and the participants for His guidance, protection and anointing as we meet and that our findings will result in breakthroughs for the Gospel in South Asia.
4 National and International Security Prayer Initiative during the coming 18 months and for prayer network leaders, October 18-20, Colorado Springs, USA -increasing numbers of intercessors in the USA feel disquiet about national security so there are national conference calls scheduled (see above article). This gathering for prayer network leaders will be to seek God's strategy for national spiritual preparedness. We hope to include Mexican and Canadian leaders also. Pray with us for the national and international security of our world and for clarity as to how the prayer movement should best respond.
5 UPrising: World Youth Prayer Assembly youth planning team with IPC Children in Prayer team, November 2-6/7, Manila, Philippines- Good progress is being made and you can see the new website and videos at www.unitedprayerrising.com. Please pray for Jerome Ocampo, the convener, and the youth planning team as they continue to make arrangements. Pray also for the major financial provision that will be needed.
6 Remarkable development and opportunity for prayer ministry in North Korea this September- pray for those who will be leading a large team to bring His blessing to this troubled and oppressed land and people.
