We are pleased to bring you this July 2021 edition of IPC Connections.  

Our Editorial article this month is an astounding report from the Passover to Pentecost Group!  These partnered events, missions and media projects have collectively seen 20 million new Jesus followers added to the Church since last year.  This 2021 Review details massive numbers coming to faith in Jesus Christ, Gospel movements emerging in the nations, and disciple-making churches being planted in unreached areas.   Let’s be in prayer for these huge numbers of people of all ages coming to faith, that they will grow into spiritual fullness in Christ. (Col 2:6-7)

Read about the 1 Million Hours of Prayer for Japan and the Olympic Games initiative that we are jointly launching with JiSP (Japan International Sports Partnership), in our second editorial article.  Sign up for the Prayer Guide.

We would welcome you to join us for the launch of the 1^st FRIDAY GO PRAY online prayer event on Friday 6^th August at 6AM Pacific time during which we will be Praying for the continued spiritual harvest AND for Japan and the missional opportunities that the Olympic Games present. 

We are not spotlighting a team member this month to make space for the Editorial article.  We would however covet your prayers for the whole team right now.  The IPC Leadership Team and Board’s representation spans the continents. They are each involved in a local church as well as ministering nationally and internationally.  Please pray for strength, good health, equipping and protection for them and their loved ones, as they continue to serve, often at personal cost, during these challenging times.

Thank you for continuing to partner with us in mobilising and informing united prayer across nations, denominations, movements, and generations for the fulfilment of the Great Commission.

May we express grateful thanks to Andy Page and the IPC Editorial Team who put this email together each month.

Every blessing,

We are pleased to bring you this mid-June 2021 edition of IPC Connections.  

As we have transitioned from an amazing, busy month of Prayer during May for GO MONTH and several partner prayer and mission activities under the Hope of Harvest banner, we have so many reasons to be thankful!  Despite the challenges that we are all facing with the pandemic, we are seeing a great move of God across the nations as huge numbers have been coming to faith in Jesus Christ.   We are collating testimonies and feedback from each continent that we will share with you in our July edition, but we are sure that you will want to give thanks with us for prayers answered and souls saved.

In his Editorial article entitled: Gospel Explosion in the Nations, Dr Jason Hubbard takes us on a journey that deepens our understanding of what true biblical revival is about.  He shares this point – ‘“What would it take to see a genuine move of God initiated and sustained in a geographic area?” It is not enough to just see revival, we want to see transforming revival in communities, cities and even whole nations before the return of Christ!’

We are grateful to Mike Bickle, Founder and Director of International House of Prayer, Kansas City for allowing us to share with our prayer partners his recently written article entitled ‘Five Reasons We Value Studying the End Times & Four Pastoral Challenges’ which we believe imparts some valuable truths and teaching for such a time as this.

We continue our series of introductions to the IPC Council members with a profile of our friend and colleague, Liz Adleta. Liz is based in Texas, USA and has been associated with IPC since we started.  She now co-leads our ‘Praying for Unreached Peoples’ focus team.  She brings a wealth of knowledge, giftings and experience to IPC. 

Thank you for continuing to partner with us in mobilising and informing united prayer across nations, denominations, movements, and generations for the fulfilment of the Great Commission.

We are pleased to bring you this special Pentecost 2021 edition of IPC Connections.  

In our editorial article, Dr Jason Hubbard takes us on a valuable journey of learning about this time in the Church’s calendar.  He introduces it by saying ’As we prepare for Pentecost 2021, I want to highlight ten aspects of Jesus’s ascension in hopes that this climactic event will be an important bridge of understanding and inspiration for us linking Passover to Pentecost.  Let’s give attention to the Ascension!’

Among many difficult situations around the world, our hearts are particularly burdened at this time with the challenges facing India, Israel and Burma.  In this edition, we are providing some ‘on the ground’ briefings along with links to more information and suggested prayer pointers as we seek to intercede for these nations.

It is a time to pray, but it is also a time to participate in making a difference, in whatever ways we can.  We are providing some suggested routes for sending financial support to India in the article that follows below.

World Prayer Together | GO Pray seeks to cover Global Outreach Month (GO MONTH) in prayer, as this huge worldwide initiative encourages every believer to be a witness, by sharing the Gospel on a one-to-one basis during May 2021. 

We are already hearing heartening testimonies from around the continents of lives committed to Jesus.   The GO PRAY 2-hour program includes prayers for GO MONTH and prayers for India, China and the Middle East. 

It is now available to watch with multiple language sub-titles and audio translation in 10+ languages along with a prayer guide download.  

A 30-minute special edition is being prepared including some of the many testimonies.  Subscribe to the @ipcprayer YouTube channel to be notified when it goes live.

The Global Day of Prayer – Pentecost Sunday Broadcast is a 60-minute program that is being shown around the world on Pentecost Sunday, online, on GODTV and many other networks.  Its theme is ‘Hope of the Coming Harvest’ - a clarion call for the Body of Christ to unite and pray earnestly for the coming harvest. This one-hour celebration of diversity includes key voices from around the world, and opportunities to pray united prayers for justice, healing, restoration, reconciliation, and hope for the nations with a special emphasis on the next generation and families. 

The program is being made available to churches and networks to download, translate and play as appropriate on Pentecost Sunday, May 23^rd.   See the final article below for details and a download link.

Hope of the Coming Harvest 2021 - The Pentecost Sunday Broadcast is one of several events taking place under the same theme, of ‘Hope of the Coming Harvest’ that aim to mobilise united prayer, worship and missions initiatives, contending for the great harvest in 2021. (Luke 10:2) Details of the events taking place during May follow below.

The Archbishops of Canterbury and York along with Our Friends at 24-7 Prayer, are launching ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ today.  It is a global ecumenical wave of prayer calling all Christians to pray between Ascension and Pentecost for more people to come to know the love and peace of Jesus Christ.

There are a huge number of national and international prayer and mission gatherings taking place during this season - more than any of our team can recall!  The pandemic has brought challenges, but it has also brought unprecedented opportunities as the church has leaped into the world of live-streaming and online meetings.  We thank God for the spirit of Luke 17 ‘oneness’ that pervades between each event, as we all respond to the times that we are in, and our common motivation, to make Jesus known across all peoples.

Thank you for continuing to partner with us in mobilising and informing united prayer across nations, denominations, movements, and generations for the fulfilment of the Great Commission.

May we express grateful thanks to Andy Page and the IPC Editorial Team who put this email together each month.

Greetings!

We are pleased to bring you IPC Connections for November 2020.  

Last month we brought you a special feature on America and the 3^rd November US elections that included an Editorial article briefing written by Dave Kubal which we are sure you will continue to find useful as you cover this important time for the nation in prayer.  We are including some extra resources, prayer points and a link to Dave’s video on Praying for the US Elections in John’s article below. 

This Autumn marks the 30-year anniversary of Germany’s unification.  We thank God for blessing their nation with a strong economy a democratic government and freedom to worship Him without persecution.  Our colleague, Werner Nachtigal recently reminded us of the prayers that brought the wall down, and that we can all be in prayer to see re-unification across other nations such as North and South Korea where it almost seems impossible.  But with God, all things are possible, Amen!  Let’s especially be in prayer for One Korea at this time. 

Our Editorial article this month is a timely, encouraging reminder of the story of Evan Roberts and the 1904 Welsh Revival, brought to us by Jason Hubbard.   Over three years, 250,000 responded to the Gospel message.   In his memoirs, Evan wrote - "Before men I might reach a limited few, but before God I could reach the whole world!"  To see a number of other inspiring #teachustopray 15-minute devotionals by Jason documenting ‘The wildest stories of the Praying Church from Acts until 2020’ Click Here.

The Covid-19 pandemic has now affected 45 million people worldwide with 1.1 million now losing their lives.  We bring you up to date information on this along with prayer points and links to various resources.  

Thank you for continuing to partner with us in mobilising and informing united prayer across nations, denominations, movements, and generations for the fulfilment of the Great Commission.

May we express grateful thanks to Andy Page and the IPC Editorial Team who put this email together each month.
