What a local congregation
might do to observe the GDOP
1. Two weeks before the GDOP (May 13)
• provide bulletin inserts of the Ten Day Prayer Guide
• make an announcement about the upcoming GDOP and encouraged
everyone to use their prayer guide on a daily basis from May 17-26.
(can be repeated again and made available at any mid-week services)
2. One week before the GDOP (May 20)
• make an announcement about the GDOP being observed the coming
Sunday
• show a video clip about the GDOP to the congregation (available
on website)
• have a member who has been participating in the Ten Days of
Prayer share a testimony
• challenge the congregation to begin / continue to participate
in the Ten Days of Prayer
3. During the Ten Days of Prayer (May 17-26)
• show the GDOP video at home groups and any other ministry
meetings
• pray together through the Ten Day Prayer Guide
(available at: www.waymakers.org - inexpensive and can be shipped
over night)
4. On Pentecost Sunday (May 27- Global Day of Prayer)
• note that your congregation is joining over a quarter of a
billion people worldwide, from 195+ nations, praying on one accord
according to Habakkuk 2:14 and II Chronicles 7:14
• provide a bulletin insert of “A Prayer for the World”
(found in the back of the Ten
Day Prayer Guide) to be used as a congregational responsive reading
in the Sunday
worship service(s).
5. 90 Days of Blessing following the GDOP (May 28-August 25)
• encourage the congregation to fast and prayer during the first
40 days
• plan a local outreach to the community which will take place
during the last 50 days of the 90 Days of Blessing
