24/7 Prayer Plan


Connecting 83 counties in Michigan



Michigan consists of 83 counties where there are small (population density) and larger ones which need to be broken down into cities, towns, sections or maybe quadrants. Smaller and mid-sized counties will be easier to initiate the prayer strategy given below.

It begins with recognizing existing praying churches and ministries within a county. God has stirred many in this hour towards a similar purpose, vision and mission to help bring transformation to Michigan. Can we work together "as one" allowing Christ to be the head of His body, where we let go attempts of controlling one another?


WHAT IS A COUNTY HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR TRANSFORMATION?



*It can be a church that regularly meets for prayer (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly) who have a desire to see the region, state and nation they represent transformed for Christ. They desire more of God’s presence to impact the communities they reside in.

*It can be a group of people who gather together in a church, home, or neutral location in prayer for their county, state and nation.

These county houses of prayer will network in unity with the praying body of Christ in Michigan; be part in erecting a prayer shield for challenges we face as a state; cast a net for souls to be saved in the harvest; and stand in the gap for the cultural gateways: family, church, educational system, government, media, arts, and economy.


The Two Fold Prayer Strategy for each County

  1. A house or houses of prayer should be established in each county where the churches across streams can come together "as one". Larger counties will certainly have the potential for multiple houses of prayer. Identify the connectors to build and encourage those prayer houses already in place.

  2. Provide an opportunity to bring the greater praying church together by allowing each to maintain their identity and pray in their own facility. Days would be chosen throughout the year where churches would select 1 and 2 hour blocks of time to pray for a 12 or 24 hour time period on pre-selected days. This process below will begin to materialize in 2008 in counties throughout our state.

2-4PM – Assembly of God

2-4AM – Harp and Bowl or a House of Prayer Ministry

4-6AM – Nazarene Church

6-8AM – Lutheran Church

8-10AM – Resurrection Life Church

10-12Noon – Moms in Touch [prayer for schools]


A BLUEPRINT TO ACTIVATE THE TWO FOLD PRAYER PLAN

  1. Identify Connectors or churches/ministries/individuals that have the same seed of vision within them regarding the Transformation Michigan vision. This would also include identifying all existing prayer groups and leaders in a particular county. These contacts are the base of people to gather and invite for smaller mini-gatherings.

  2. Set up mini and regional gatherings/meetings to explain the vision and recruit to initiate the process in those counties represented.

  3. Encourage and equip individuals in respective counties to be the runners and carriers of the vision. This is the duplication and multiplication process that is necessary to succeed. What is already working in our advantage is those who have gone before us and already moving in this vision in a city or region. Our role then is to be part in connecting and networking to a larger statewide picture.

  4. The map on Transformation Michigan will post all the data for each county to show the prayer activity that is developing. Larger counties will be broken into sections. A locater map would be utilized to identify houses of prayer when viewed by an inquirer. Individuals would be guided towards the existing prayer activity in that particular county using the website – www.TransformMi.com – as a reference tool.

  5. Larger conferences hosted by Transformation Michigan would fan the flames. The "Nazirite Uprising", Ray Hughes, and "The Call" coming to Michigan will be the necessary links to help bring the vision to near completion. These gatherings will also be used to connect prayer leadership in the state to posture us for any challenge we may face where at a moments notice a prayer shield will arise across our state. NOTE: It is important to partner with other ministries with similar vision!

  6. E-mail newsletter, snail mail and word of mouth will enable the communication process to help further "unity" in our diversity.

  7. Initially, one prayer house will be found for each county to stand in the gap.
NOTE: Duplication and multiplication are the keys for acceleration.
