G7 Prayer Summit – Report Back
Feedback from the recent G7 Prayer Summit, written by IPC Senior Advisor - Brian Mills:
The G7 is a gathering of heads of State from some of the world's most wealthy nations. From 10th to 13th June, they met in the UK (the host country) in a most beautiful seaside location in the county of Cornwall in the far South-West of England.
Why was this important? Well, since the Coronavirus pandemic began eighteen months ago, it has been one of the first face-to-face gathering of any of the world leaders. Decisions taken there are likely to influence the planet in multiple ways for years to come.
At this summit, the prime areas for discussion were flagged as - a global response to the pandemic, the economy, climate change and security issues. Each of these had to some extent been looked at in detail in advance by the respective Governments' ministers responsible. So, at the summit corporate commitments were made, some of which have been announced, some probably will never be!
At previous similar summits over the past 25 years, there had been a gathering of praying people from the different nations somewhere in the vicinity of the summit. This year, because of the Covid restrictions in place within the UK, this was deemed not possible.
So why pray about political decisions? Firstly, Scripture informs us that "petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." In other words, the advance of God's kingdom is directly related to our praying for those in authority.
We are also aware that, whenever the kings of the earth come together, so do the principalities and powers arraigned against us and Christ. Some want Satan to rule this world. We don't. So it is imperative for us to pray, in order that Satan doesn't have His way, but rather that the kingdom of God is advanced throughout the world. Christ is king over all the earth.
This year a Global G7 Prayer Summit came together in a way that was different from anything attempted before, and on a scale that was global. For each of the four days there was an online "virtual" season of prayer for 12 hours a day, led by prayer leaders mostly from within the UK, but with some significant help from elsewhere, and participation from many nations.
Many of those involved had little experience of praying about global issues, so for some it was a steep learning curve. A total of approximately 500 people participated in hour-long slots during the 48 hours of prayer – some multiple times – during the four days.
A few prayed through the night in their country. All of this was coordinated by the World Prayer Centre team in Birmingham, England, to whom a big "thank you" is due. Their expertise and previous experience in this kind of summit was pivotal.
But it all began in Cornwall. For the past five months a group of church and ministry leaders have been meeting weekly online to pray, at the invitation of the local MP who was responsible for hosting this prestigious gathering in his Parliamentary constituency.
Throughout that time he has seen how prayer, in relation to the issues as they emerged, had been answered.
Consistently we had prayed for the presence of God, Father, Son and Spirit to be experienced.
That these world leaders would become aware of the God of creation, as they looked at the incredible beauty of His creation; or the needs of the poorer nations and peoples as they considered the way to combat poverty and the pandemic.
In addition, God had led several groups to walk and pray, do on-site prayer in various locations, and to join together to pray. Teams of young people engaged creatively. The churches in the area had mounted a witness, with crosses erected in the streets, with rubbish nailed to them! And on the Sunday beforehand, an online prayer evening brought together over 200 Christians in Cornwall from many expressions of church – hosted by the MP!
Contact was made with a team of chaplains to the more than 5,000 police who had been drafted into the area to look after security issues. They testified that it was a mostly peaceful summit. None of the anticipated violence and trouble materialised. Instead the police were welcomed, blessed practically and spiritually and went home with glowing reports of their time in Cornwall. The word "open heaven" was mentioned a number of times – both in prayer and in the response of those on the streets.
The Prayer summit leadership had in advance set up connections with people on the ground who could provide information for prayer as and when necessary.
The Prayer Summit itself was interspersed with worship, led prayer, declarations, Scripture, break-out rooms, simultaneous audible prayer.
We had consistently prayed "Your kingdom come...Your will be done....On earth, as it is in Heaven...." We had declared an "open heaven" over the area – and so it proved to be – naturally and spiritually. So we praise God for the answers.
This theme continued throughout the summit.
So what of the future? Well, there are many other gatherings of world leaders occurring regularly. Maybe God will lead you, wherever you are, to plan or be part of initiatives to pray throughout such summits - for the leaders and the decisions they make to be in accordance with God's agenda and purpose for this planet, and not man's.

Caribbean Prayer Summit – Online 22-23 May
Greetings from the secretariat of the Caribbean Prayer Summit. We are excited about hosting the 4th Caribbean Prayer Summit (CPS) on May 22-23, 2020 which will now be ONLINE under the theme “A United Caribbean Church …a Regional Revival”.
Since its inception the CPS has been convened in Barbados (2007), Suriname (2008) and Jamaica 2009. The CPS was initiated by the International Prayer Council through Rev Maria Harbajan, their Caribbean Coordinator and Representative.
We believe that intercessory prayer changes things and in light of the myriad of issues facing the region at this time, including the challenges facing CARICOM, the CPS aims to target Intercessory Prayer leaders throughout the region and beyond with the following objectives:-
- To provide a forum for the networking of Intercessory Prayer leaders across the Caribbean – no island is to stand alone in its spiritual war
- Strategic planning for the setting up of National Prayer Networks on islands where there might not be any in place – every island needs one
- To have the island representatives present the most critical needs of their nation and have the regional gathering uphold them/their nation in corporate intercession and spiritual warfare – together we will win the war
- Development of links, networks, and initiatives in the region; exposing what already exists – exposing opportunities available for training; impartation.
- Prayers for healing of the nations in the wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic.
- To encourage the Caribbean youth and children to become more involved in intercession – raising up Millennials to be powerful and effective in prayer. (Special online program sessions – see website)
- To introduce the concept of a day of National Repentance to be presented to Governments and assist in having it executed in all the islands of the region.
We would be happy to have you join us ONLINE for this historic occasion. Please view this as our invitation to you and/or at least one other Intercessor who could represent your nation at the Summit.

Invitation to Prayer Leaders for the North American Prayer Summit
Strengthening our Partnership in Prayer for His Revival and Transformation of North America
For the leaders of prayer networks and ministries in North America
You are invited to the North American Prayer Summit!
One of the great joys experienced since the launch of the International Prayer Council in 2002 has been the development of various regional prayer summits that have united prayer ministry leaders to build friendships and pray together for their regions. In North America, we have already met several times as prayer leaders from each nation have taken turns to host three-day gatherings to learn about the issues of each of the three nations in order to connect our hearts in the unity of the Spirit and pray with a new depth of understanding and empathy. These times in the manifest presence of the Lord have marked both us and our nations through their powerful effects as the God answers such united intercession, doing the things only He can do, bringing revival to His people and transformation in the challenging situations each country faces.
It is time for us to gather again on behalf of our continent. The Canadians, after coming to stand with those from the USA at the National Prayer Assembly in October last year, are now inviting us for a North American Prayer Summit, August 21-24, 2017. It will be held in one of the most gorgeous places in our continent- St. John’s, Newfoundland. Please see the 30-second clip below. We will mix times of praying, listening to God, and prophetic sharing about the issues of Mexico, Canada and the USA with building and strengthening a North American Prayer Partnership. We will also take time to pray at Cape Spear, the easternmost point of our continent, enjoy some whale watching and the famously delicious fish and chips, all the while soaking up the stunning beauty of the surroundings of the historic coastal town of St. John’s.
You are warmly welcomed to take part and if there are others who are leading prayer ministries or networks in your country or elsewhere in North America you think should be invited, please do send your recommendations to us. This gathering will be by invitation only and it will be for those who seek to be led by the Holy Spirit, are evangelical in conviction, have a heart for the unity of Christ’s Body, and are fervent in prayer for the nations. We also want to give special priority to younger ministry leaders. We have tried to keep the costs as low as possible for everyone. Meals will be on your own in the hotel restaurant for breakfast, and lunch and dinner will be catered. We have booked the Holiday Inn in St. John’s at a very reasonable rate that you will pay directly to the hotel when you check-in (please see that information below).
The registration fee to cover three lunches and two dinners, three days of bus transport, and other costs of the event will be $150 Canadian ($111 USD at current exchange rates). This is the early-bird registration and after June 10th we will increase the registration to $200.00 ($147 USD) because of the need to confirm local arrangements. There will be a special Newfoundland night that will include a banquet for which there will be a separate charge as well as for those wishing to go whale-watching. Details will follow in a later email. Please do register ASAP to ensure you will be able to reserve a place. To register, please pay this fee through PayPal.com by credit card using our local host Wanda Fost’s email address: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. You can add your address, phone and email address on the same PayPal form, which we need to complete your registration. Please book your own hotel reservation with the hotel contact information below, being sure to say that you are part of this consultation to get the discounted rate.
When you book your flight, please be advised that there is another city in Canada called St. John in New Brunswick. You don't want to book your flight to that place in New Brunswick which is in a different part of the country. Just to clarify again, the NAPS is meeting in St. John's, Newfoundland. The airport code is YYT when you make your flight reservation and here is the airport website http://stjohnsairport.com. Also you may find that depending on where you live, it can be cheaper and provide more options to book a flight to an intermediate city like New York or Toronto and then make a separate flight booking on to St. John's, so you might want to explore that possibility.
Our organizing team is praying that you will be able to join us at this magnificent venue. It will be a powerful, transformative time together that we believe the Lord will use to advance His Kingdom purposes for our three nations and our continent. We earnestly hope you can be with us in beautiful Newfoundland. For further information, please contact MaDonna Eason This email address is being protected from spambots.

Booking your stay at the Holiday Inn in St. John’s:
The cost for a standard room per night is $139 Canadian ($102 USD at current rates). If you want to share a room with someone to save costs (the rooms are equipped with two beds), you can make that arrangement with the one you want to room with and then it will be just half the cost. However, one of you will need to make the booking with the hotel directly and then settle financially between yourselves since the host team will not be handling any hotel bookings or room assignments.
For an executive room, it will be $159 ($117 USD at current rates) per night. Again, after you book the room, you can make your own arrangement to share the room (they also are equipped with two beds) and save costs if you like.
Book your room under 'North American Prayer Summit' reservation code: PSN

Please pray with us for the right network and ministry leaders to be able to come. For the provision of funding for those who still need assistance and for His powerful presence and anointing to be upon all who participate as we seek His face for our three nations and our continent.
