The Trumpet Call national day of prayer in Birmingham on 15 October was a time of release and re-commissioning. Jesus is calling His church to pray and evangelise. We remembered the life-changing work of redemption, mercy, restoration, reconciliation, unity and freedom. Six ministries with focus on these themes shared their vision, and we prayed for their work. As we prayed, a trumpet was sounded and the 1,500 audience made Gospel declarations. It was a day of prayer and praise, with many moments of God’s tangible presence. As a nation we are called to pray for the power of the Gospel to be released in this land, for unity and respect across generations, ministries, churches and cultures, for the return of the prodigals to the cross of Jesus, and for children to enter into the fullness of who God called them to be. There is a unique call on the British Isles to take the Gospel to other nations, and pray with renewed vigour for the persecuted church. See:
