Heal Our Land Merseyside Week of Prayer
9 Apr 2010
THE ELECTION FOR A NEW GOVERNMENT IN THE UK HAS JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED. IT HAS BEEN CALLED FOR 6 MAY! Before we knew any of this, Heal Our Land UK was planned in Liverpool (Merseyside) for 2 - 16 May. This time in Britain's history is crucial! People around the world will be focusing on the UK in prayer during this time. Please emphasize the need for prayer for Heal Our Land UK....the following letters say it all.......
We face a tremendous moment of opportunity! Merseyside always attracts a special interest from the news media during elections, and during debates relating to politics and society. With Gordon Brown announcing the date of the election on 6th May we have a particular opportunity:
Our week of prayer across the region will be 2nd to 9th May - incorporating the election day. What great timing! As we pray for God to move across the region and across the UK, the nation will be focused on the debate about what the country needs and what the future looks like. Already the place of our Christian heritage and values is becoming an increasingly visible topic.
At the end of the week of prayer in the Cathedral event on 10th, the church across the region will come together to make a very public expression of our unity, to call on God to touch the land, and to pray for a fresh movement of evangelistic initiatives across the country. We plan to publicly pray at that event for the newly elected representatives - MPs and Councillors across the region.
Please encourage your church and networks to get involved in the prayer initiatives - see the TFH website or email prayer@tfh.org.uk
Please encourage everyone to come to the Cathedral event on 10th May - to make a big statement that the church is together and moving forward in this hugely significant season. Tickets are available on-line http://www.premier.org.uk/events/premierevents or at the Anglican Cathedral. The tickets are £5 towards the cost of the event.
Please also consider organising an event to reach out to your community, friends or neighbours during the week 9th to 16th May. On 15th May there will be a cultural extravaganza in Newsham Park - with several churches already participating - please contact Chris Mason of Liverpool Youth For Christ if you want to get involved in that. chris@liverpoolyfc.co.uk
Please pray for these events: Please pray that this will be fruitful, that we will achieve useful publicity, and that God will help us move forward into all that He plans for our region.
