100 days 100 years – an invitation to pray and reflect on historic anniversaries
Evangelical Alliance Northern Ireland, 24/7 Prayer Ireland and Summer Madness are coordinating ‘100 days of prayer for 100 years of history’ described as: “A movement of prophetic prayer providing the oxygen of healing of the past, honour in the present and hope for the future.”
2016 is a year of centenaries – the Battle of the Somme and the Easter Rising – and the groups jointly invite Christians to “unite and prayerfully engage in our nation’s story – to grasp this unique pastoral and prophetic opportunity, contribute to reconciliation and share stories of hope.”
From February 6 to May 15 2016, a network of individuals, organisations and churches will come together over 100 days of continuous prayer for our nation.
Evangelical Alliance Northern Ireland, 24/7 Prayer Ireland and Summer Madness will partner with others to organise churches across Northern Ireland to cover every minute of the 100 days in prayer.
“As we journey through the Liturgical Church Calendar of Lent and Pentecost, we want to encourage the church to unite together in prayer. During this time, we invite as many churches as possible to sign up for at least one day of 24 hour prayer. This would involve hosting a prayer room in your church where members can sign up (as individuals or small groups) for one hour slots. We will provide some creative guides and resources to help inform prayers throughout this season, but churches are free to dream up their own prayer rooms.”
It will also be possible to pray along each day via a devotional app. Follow the movement via their website and on Facebook and Twitter.
