Largest Corporate Prayer Meeting In Christendom
Please join us in prayer for this gathering. Remember that if one can cause 1000 to flee and 2 can cause 10,000 to flee then by God's multiplication 44 million plus all those who are praying from a distance can cause more than quattuordecillion (American system - that 45 zeros; around an octillion in the British system) to flee. As we join together God multiplies the power of our prayers exponentially - which in the terms of a curve on a graph results in more rapid rise in the upward direction to GOD!! We are definitely in a season acceleration of all things!!
Blessings and thanks,
Dana on behalf of Martha

Dear Martha:
In less than 72 hours the largest corporate prayer meeting in Christendom will be underway-- 58 countries, over 1300 stadiums and large venues, and an estimated 44 million participants. I am on my way to Cape Town, South Africa where the Newlands Rugby Stadium will become the "pulpit" for this unprecedented intercessory gathering.
The Transformation Movement (led by Graham Power in close association with Michael Cassidy and other pulpit leaders) has been unusually blessed by God with the anointing required to bring ALL 58 countries in Africa together for a Day of Prayer "a la II Chronicles 7:14." In some countries the participation is massive and in large venues -- like in South Africa and Nigeria -- but in other countries where non-Christian religious governments rule the participation is less public but equally intense. In fact, in one nation where 99% of the population is labeled Muslim, 100% of the Christians plan to participate. In Egypt alone over 50 cities are part of this continental prayer canopy over Africa.
Graham Power and the Transformation Movement have bestowed on me the tremendous honor, and equally great responsibility, to be the main speaker at this event that will be carried live by several radio and TV networks.
Today I am writing to you, my dear friend, to enlist your participation in prayer and fervent intercession. The official program runs for three hours and will begin at 4:00 AM Pacific Standard Time on Sunday, May 2nd. We are totally dependent on the Lord for this. Please, pray for the following:
- For anointing on ALL the participants, those on the platform and those on the field. Pray that God's anointing will truly overpower us.
- Pray for protection since we are coming against significant spiritual powers that have usurped the heavenly places over Africa for too long and now feel threatened -- as they should. We have already felt -- and continue to feel -- the pressure coming from them and our only refuge is the Lord Himself. Please pray for protection for us, for our families, for our staff and for our supporters.
- Pray for EXTRAORDINARY MIRACLES. These are miracles that have not happened yet, or that have not happened on a large scale. One of Africa's top needs is healing from AIDS. Pray that faith from the word and by the Spirit will flow into the millions holding hands and linking hearts and that God will hear our cry and heal the continent. Also pray for other needs as the Lord leads you.
My dear friend, I must run to catch the plane. Please pray, and if at all possible, let me know you are praying. It will minister to me and to my team.
In Him,
Ed Silvoso
