As far as we can tell, it’s the first time anyone will have ever attempted it. Well over 50 “live” remote sites, all praying simultaneously around the save theme (finishing the task of the Great Commission), beamed into one video production studio in the same hour, then rolled out as a seamless concert of prayer. If Zinzendorf had been able to tweet, this is what he would have organized. Take it all in at 8:30pm EDT (that’s 12:30am, Apr. 18th, Coordinated Universal Time). The entire event will last exactly one hour as each of the remote sites has one single minute to pray “live” on the broadcast. It’s free and there’s no soliciting allowed. And it’s all prayer. Live. Together. Learn more at the site…

There’s a countdown clock to the event there. You can also tweet “in place,” and also see a cool map that will provide approximate locations of those taking part in the Prayercast. (The locations are approximate in consideration of our participants in sensitive lands.) Also, follow the event on Facebook at…

You can also tweet using #globalprayercast during the event, and the tweets will load not only in the webpage itself (even in the days and hours running up to the event), but also in the video stream DURING the event. (For example, tweet your own prayers to join with the groups praying in the broadcast stream.) Get your home bible study, life group, agency, or church involved. If you feel the approach is effective, please replicate it among your spheres of influence again and again. May God bless our concert of prayer together planet-wide. Here’s a one-minute video explaining the goals:
