Dear Praying Friends,
A number of us in the prayer movement have strongly felt during this season between Passover and Pentecost, when the pandemic shutdown has also been occurring, that the Spirit of the Lord is moving over the face of the earth as never before. Many millions of us have been in prayer since the World Prayer Together online call and the launch of the Go 2020 prayer and mission effort on May 1st. Last week, many of us also prayed for the Muslim world during their Ramadan festival that many of them would wake up, possibly through dreams and visions, as well as through the bold witness of local Christians, to understand who Jesus really is and come to know Him.
Here attached are some of the wonderful prayer and mission initiatives that are happening now and during the next few days, leading up to Pentecost and the ongoing Go 2020 effort to mobilize 100 million believers to pray for and reach out to one billion who still need to come to Christ. The Global Voice of Prayer team, some of whom organized the Global Day of Prayer that many of us participated in years ago, has arranged this attached broadcast that we hope you will enjoy and circulate to others in your own networks during this week. If you have local Christian TV stations that would be open to airing it, please do pass it on to them as well as to churches that might want to use it during their services this weekend. We hope it will also be broadcast on major Christian satellite TV programs on Saturday and Sunday across the various world time zones.
Please pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Body of Christ and that tens of millions will hear the Gospel and come to know the Lord during this special season. Pray for amazing love and unity among brothers and sisters in Christ across denominations and movements to continue and increase, that we will all flow together like tributaries in HIs great river of eternal and abundant life so it will touch every person and every people group on earth. May we see great breakthroughs for the Gospel with loving witness (prayer, care and share) accompanied by signs and wonders, dreams and visions among Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and agnostic secularists-- all who still do not know the Lord of life!
Thanks for your prayers and for getting the Word out as well as the broadcast and attachments below so they can go far and wide and have a multiplied impact for His Kingdom so that our world will never be the same.
Yours in Christ,
John

The challenge now is to get the word out, and to collaborate with as many as possible to bring this message of hope to the Global Church in the next few days in the run up to Pentecost.
May we solicit your collaborative help? We are asking if as many of us as possible could join hands to bring this blessing to the Global Church before Pentecost on Sunday 31st.
Some ideas for getting the word out:
- Post the broadcast on your ministry’s social media platforms / schedule watch parties in the coming week
- Send the attached broadcasting proposal & info to media partners in your networks
- Encourage churches in your spheres of influence to broadcast the programme as part of their Pentecost Sunday celebrations
- Encourage believers around the world to use this as an outreach tool
- Post the attached flyers on your website
We have attached a few media items to help spread the word:
- Sound from Heaven Pentecost broadcast flyer – please feel free to share on social media, via Whatsapp, email etc
- Sound from Heaven events flyer – with key upcoming events
- A broadcast proposal template with more information on the programme, that can be adapted and sent to ministry partners, churches and media contacts in your networks
You will also find additional information and resources at www.globalvoiceofprayer, www.go2020.world and other partner sites.
We believe that this broadcast is going to bring hope to millions in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. Let’s release the sound of hope!
Every blessing,
The GVOP team
