Prayer is our greatest neglect, but also our country’s greatest need. Prayer softens hearts and brings transformation in our communities! We don’t just have to stand by and watch the brokenness. We can stand up for our streets by getting down on our knees.

In I Timothy 2:1-4 Paul urges Timothy and the generations of believers to come, “that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” As believers, we need to pray for everyone in our spheres of influence.

if prayer seems to you a diversion from productivity, remember God does more in five seconds than we can in five hours

John Piper

WHY PRAY FOR OTHERS?

• We are doing the will of God when we intercede for the needs of others.

• It gives us a vision for the lost.

• It helps us focus on our responsibility to reach our neighbourhoods.

• Prayer draws believers closer to the heart of God.

• Prayer releases God’s power in the believer to follow His plan.

• Satan trembles at specific, Biblical prayer.


THE
PROBLEM

Our neighborhoods are plagued by addictions, abuse, divorce and discord. Our streets are crushed under the weight of sin and brokenness. As believers we have bought into the lie that the situation is beyond redemption. We have given up, lost hope, become apathetic. Our prayer lives can often be me-centered or simply cover the needs of our family. But can we afford to stand by?

The number of divorce applications has doubled and even tripled in cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Lucknow over the past five years
Government figures show that at least 25,426 people committed suicide due to drug and addiction related problems in the last 10 years across India. From 2004 to 2013, the suicide rate has jumped 149%.
India has an estimated 3.4 million drug abuse victims. This number excludes alcoholics, who figure at around 11 million in the country.
According to National Crime Records Bureau's (NCRB) 2014 report, there were 33,764 victims of rape out of 33,707 reported rape cases in the country during the year 2013. 13.1% (4,427 out of 33,764) of the total victims of rape were girls under 14 years of age
The NCRB reports state that the number of reported rapes in India are only an estimated 1% of the total number of rapes that take place annually in the country


THE
POWER

Every day we witness struggle and sin, darkness and discord. But what we see around ismanipulated by what our eyes cannot perceive. There are unseen forces of darkness in our atmosphere which is a real spirit world that daily influences the lives of people. Eph 2:2 clearly states that the prince of the power of the air works in the children of disobedience. It is up to us to cleanse the atmosphere of these evil spirits and our God has empowered us to do so.

THE
SOLUTION

Street Prayer is a simple movement – you as a believer commit to praying for your street, your community. Yet the impact of prayer is far from simple. It’s extraordinary. It’s transformative. It’s supernatural. If every believer takes up that same challenge, your state, your country – and eventually the whole world – is covered in a blanket of prayer. Sign up for Street Prayer – you do your thing and watch God do His. Witness revival in your neighborhood!
