The Global Prayer Gathering brings together staff and friends of IJM from all over the world for a time of seeking God and seeking justice for victims of oppression.Led by Gary Haugen, Sharon Cohn Wu and Andy Crouch, together we will draw near to God in prayer, we will celebrate what God has done and we will petition for continued rescue of those who are being oppressed and help for our workers in the field.Throughout the weekend, IJM staff from Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America and Europe will share about recent casework victories for victims of violent oppression, as well as the joys, challenges and prayer needs of their field offices. Sara Groves and Lamont Hiebert and Ten Shekel Shirt will lead us in worship. We hope that you will join with us in celebration of God’s presence and in prayer for God’s power in 2010. Your prayers are vital to this work of justice.

Sara Groves // Lamont HiebertI cannot wait to come back next year to see how God has answered our fervent prayers!" The GPG weekends are easily among the most meaningful, worthwhile weekends I spend anywhere all year. The opportunity to pray and worship God alongside those who are working in the field is a privilege and gift from God. I always feel personally renewed in my own relationship with God" |
