3 Saturating Pittsburgh with Prayer "Seek the welfare of the city... and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare." Jeremiah 29:7 May 4 June 4, 2017 has been designated a special time of prayer for the City of Pittsburgh. We envision thousands of people converging in prayer throughout our city and communities during the month. With extraordinary spiritual unity, they will seek God s blessing and favor upon all who live and work throughout our region. We are calling for believers to unite to strategically prayer walk every street in their neighborhoods and communities. We are calling them to pray for spiritual revival and Shalom along every single corridor. We encourage participants to share testimonies of how God used their prayers in their locality. Everyone is asked to pray for at least fifteen (15) minutes per day during the month for general and specific intercessions. Daily Prayer Guide for Every Day: Please Pray For There are general intercessions you can make each day no matter where you live. Here are five (5) suggestions. - For the gift to love every person we pray for and meet. - For conversion of those separated from God. - For the Spirit of Pentecost to settle upon our city. - For unity in the Body of Christ. - For God s Kingdom to reign over Pittsburgh / Your Particular Community.

6 About Pittsburgh Prayer Network (PPN) Our Mission: To foster concerted prayer among Pittsburgh s churches, ministries and individual Christian believers, uniting them in prayer for all our city s citizens and communities. Our Vision: To see every community in the Pittsburgh region covered with 24 hour, 7 day a week prayer by a network of praying Christians from local churches and ministries. We want to see all of Pittsburgh s citizens reached for Christ through various forms of prayer evangelism. Join Us In Saturating Pittsburgh with Prayer All Christians are called to be intercessors (1 Timothy 2:1). Each has the God-given responsibility to engage in regular, sustained prayer for the personal needs and concerns of others all around us. In recent times a Kingdom Mindset has motivated believers to organize prayer outside the walls of their churches. Many Pittsburghers have met regularly in homes, schools, places of business, anywhere and everywhere throughout their communities the Holy Spirit leads them, praying God s kingdom to come and His will be done in Pittsburgh as it is in Heaven. We believe the Holy Spirit is now raising up a greater multitude to pray in this manner. They are actively praying for Christ s Kingdom to bring forth a great wave of healing and transformation for every family, neighborhood, community, our entire nation and world. Let each of us consider these questions: Where do I fit in all this, in this Great Historic Move of God s Spirit? And, what if I and other members of my church or ministry were to form intercessory partnerships, or just start praying with one or two friends for the Holy Spirit s transformation of our region? How would such prayer make a difference? How would it change my own home? Neighborhood? Community? Our whole city and beyond? The Bible answers. James says, The effective, fervent prayer of the righteous avails much (James 5:16). The Prophet Jeremiah says, Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you. Pray to the Lord for it because if it prospers, you too will prosper (Jeremiah 29:7).
