(from the 2007 Prayer Guide) Brothers and sisters in Christ, Following a clear vision received in July 2000, a call to Christians across Africa and then all across the earth, to a day of repentance and prayer, a remarkable "wave" of united prayer has "rolled out" over Africa and the globe. The Global Day of Prayer has seen millions of Christians unite in a day of repentance and united prayer. On 27 May 2007, believers from 204 nations once again united all over the globe. The echoes of desperate prayers for transformation sounded from stadiums, open fields, community centres and to fill the nations with the glory of God. On 11 May 2008, God is again calling the nations from the North, South, East and West to embark on this prayer journey with Him. God is moving in His awesome power and He is challenging us to be part of this journey. It is a journey that is not about us, but about a world in desperate need for His glory and compassionate love. It is a call to respond to His invitation to "humble ourselves, pray, seek His face and turn from our wicked ways," (2 Chronicles 7:14). May He hear our prayers, forgive our sin and heal our land. I humbly invite you to join hundreds of millions of Christians as we seek God's face, and trust that every one of the 220 nations of the globe will see willing believers stand in the gap for their nation. May we see His glory.
