FASTING PLAN

Calling everyone to fast throughout the week while feasting on Sundays in preparation for the joy of Easter.

PRAYER + DAILY DEVOS

Starting on March 5, 2025 daily devos written by spiritual leaders from around the city. Leading up to the Sunday message each week the devos link into the theme. So first several writing about the theme “NO ONE IS TOO FAR AWAY”. As we are calling 100,000 to pray for 1,000 baptisms we are encouraging our people that no one is too far away. The following week we are encouraging the 100,000 people praying that the dead are raised “IN RESPONSE TO FAITH FILLED REQUESTS”. And so forth…

BAPTISM PLAN

Churches plan for baptism Sundays in April, and report back what they experience so that all the participating churches are able to celebrate what God is doing in communities all across the city.
