1. The UPRISING: World Youth Prayer Assembly, July 26-30, in South Korea continues to attract attention and registrations. You and other youth and young adults can register at www.unitedprayerrising.com

Please pray for Jerome Ocampo and his team as well as the Korean partners as they make arrangements to host up to 2500 youth and young adults along with children and senior adults for this historic gathering. We hope that 100 people of God’s appointing will be registered from each of the 12 regions of our world.  

This gathering will be significant for the rising up of David’s across the world.  A global response to fast and pray at the border between North and South Korea will also be significant.  Many locals in Korea are touched by this calling.  The next 3 years will be significant for world revival.  In 2018, 1 million youth will be called to meet in Jakarta, Indonesia.  Lou Engle, leader of the youth movement known as “The Call” is calling for a global fast for the next generation. 

Please pray with us for the release of funding. Please help mobilise your own regions to send 100 suitable youth and young adults.

 Other initiatives for 2016 -

Possible prayer initiative in Jerusalem, Israel, May 23-26, 2016 - with Jews, Arabs and other nationalities across the ethnic, political and denominational spectrum.  Targeting Christian leaders of various ministries, to pray for Israel and the Middle East. 

5. Suggested by Jason Hubbard, a US prayer leader that the IPC convene a global gathering of Prayer leaders in Herrnhut, Germany, the center of the Moravian revival.  2017 is a freer year and is the 500^th anniversary of the Reformation. This would enable other networks to join in with us. It would focus on prayer and Christ's global mission. Let’s pray for His guidance about this possibility.

We were encouraged that so many good prayer events are taking place, including many focusing on unity and reconciliation.
