500 Years— Nov 1st is the 500 year anniversary of the Reformation, where the Church was restored to the gospel, to the scriptures, to being justified by faith alone. There is much prophetic discernment that a new reformation, a new restoration is coming where the gospel will again be revealed in purity and power. Let’s cry out for this!
Unity— 500 years ago, the Church began to split. Pray now for all the powerful interdenominational initiatives leading the Church towards unity to thrive. Contend that we will be one, without compromising essential truths. Pray that this spirit of unity flows into the daily life of the Canadian Church. May families, congregations, regions, all see an increase of unity.
Come Holy Spirit— This is also a time to cry out, as the disciples did in the upper room, for the Holy Spirit to come in a fresh way, in a greater measure.
Universities— Pray for Canada’s universities, that God’s truth will become more and more prevalent on campuses. Pray for effective apologetics, for Christian professors, and for softened hearts to receive truth. Continue to pray for Youth Alpha.
Discipleship— Intercede for all who have come to faith but have not yet truly become disciples of Jesus. Pray for a great awakening of a passion to be disciples.

Kids - Pray for the children! Pray for their school experience, and all the ways that can impact them. Pray for the kids programs in church, that they would truly equip and disciple kids to walk with God. Pray for children to be encountered by the Holy Spirit. Pray for day-care and after school care experiences to be godly.
Transition - Many are in tremendous transition, shifting and being positioned for God’s purposes. Positioned for the next move of God. Pray that callings would be clear, faith will arise, provision for every need will be released. Pray for new church plants springing up all over Canada.
New Immigrants - Intercede for those that are coming to Canada. May they encounter the gospel in power. May the Church have wisdom and compassion in our response to these ones.
Forgiveness - Jesus said if we don’t forgive, we will not be forgiven. Cry out for the Canadian Church to be unrelentingly committed to deep, wholehearted, speedy forgiveness, no mater what the offense. Contend for those in the bondage of bitterness.
Healing - Jesus heals. Stand in the gap for the Canadian Church to encounter the power and grace of physical, mental, emotional, relational, or spiritual healing from Jesus’s hands. Intercede that every congregation would flow in healing.

Joy- Pray for the body of Christ in Canada to be filled with the joy of the Lord, regardless of our circumstances. Joy that gives strength, endurance and is such a clear sign of God’s life in us. Pray for those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or heaviness, that God would turn their mourning into dancing.
Upgrade- Seek the Lord for a purer, more powerful and fruitful release of all the gifts and anointings in the Canadian Church. May all the soulish mixture be washed away— all that promotes us rather than Jesus. Contend for new levels of prophecy, teaching, hospitality (and all the gifts) to be used to increase the kingdom of God.
Wisdom- May wisdom from above fill the Canadian Church! Cry out for heavenly wisdom to be apprehended for every challenge, or dilemma. One greater than Solomon is in our midst, may Jesus’s wisdom guide all our decisions, our timing and our priorities.
Discipleship- The Great Commission is that we would go and make disciples everywhere, baptizing them and teaching them to obey Jesus. Intercede for a new grace and priority on authentic discipleship, that no one would be left in an immature state. Pray for a groundswell of hunger to be discipled, humble hearts to learn, as well as excellent discipleship strategies to be activated.
Bible- Pray for a deeper love, honour and submission to the Scriptures. Stand in the gap for the Church to be freshly awakened in Bible study, memorization, meditation. Contend for the teaching gift to burst forth with great anointing, and that all preaching would be filled with the revelation of the word of God. Isa 66:2

Youth - Pray for the youth in our nation, that they would experience a true move of God, calling them to faith. Cry out of the new edition of Youth Alpha, which will be launching this fall, may the Lord use this tool and many like it to encounter a generation!
Businesses - Intercede for businesses who are dedicated to kingdom purposes. Pray for great blessing, favour, breakthrough and supernatural activity. Also seek the Lord on behalf of these business, that they would have divine strategies for wisdom and timing along with divine protection.
Jesus at the Centre - It is vital that we become more and more Christ-centred! Stand in the gap for the Church to be drawn anew into sincere and pure devotion to Christ, if we have strayed (2 Cor 11:3), or taken our eyes off Him. May all other distractions, fears, or goals fade into the background.
Restore - Intercede for this summer to be a season of restoration. Health, relationships, unity, faith — what ever has been worn down over the past season, seek the Lord for supernatural restoration.
Signs & Wonders - It’s time to see signs and wonders follow and confirm the preaching of the gospel! Cry out for these powerful, supernatural confirmations to be released from heaven. May healings be common in the Canadian Church as they were in Jesus’s day and the Book of Acts.

Harvest / Passion for Souls — This is a time to deeply engage in prayer for souls and also for the Church to awaken into faith-filled prayer for great harvest. May the Canadian Church lift her eyes and see the ripeness and magnitude of the harvest fields. May the Canadian Church believe in the power Jesus has to draw people to himself through us.

Unity -- We are in unprecedented days of rapid shifts toward unity in the Body of Christ. Join in with what God is doing and pray for continual breakthroughs and momentum for deep, heart-level unity. Pray that all our unity would have Jesus at the centre.

Children — Contend for the children to be drawn to faith through a wide variety of summer ministries. Pray as well, for the kids in the Canadian Church to become radical disciples of Jesus, filled with God, used by God, yet still free to be kids. Pray for parents to grow in discipling their children.

Faith -- Stand in the gap for a huge increase of faith to rise in the Canadian Church. Especially faith for God’s kingdom to come and his will to be done in this hour. Intercede that all discouragement that leads to unbelief would be washed off of the Church.

Pastors -- We need godly, wise, healthy, loving, shepherds who know how to lead, to preach and teach the word of God and who serve from a place of abiding in Jesus. Lift up the pastors in our nation, that each one will be strengthened, blessed, protected and filled afresh with the Spirit. Pray for revival fire to burn in the heart of each of these men & women of God.

Prayer Awakening- Seek the Lord for an awakening of prayer in the Canadian Church. May every believer, every congregation, every house of prayer, be stirred to pray with great grace and renewed faith. Pray for the global prayer wave that millions could be participating in called, “Thy Kingdom Come”, that it would be a catalyst for massive harvest.

Great Commission- Cry out for harvesters to be sent out into the ripe, white, fields in our nation. Pray for evangelism to become a passion once again in the Church. Join the Great Commission Day of Prayer (May 25th) and also seek to share your faith on the Global Outreach Day (May 27th).

Boomers - The Lord has been speaking about “Boomers” now being called into ministry and mission. Many who have retired will find a new purpose as “Eleventh hour workers”, others will serve the kingdom with radical giving, still others will choose an early retirement to serve. Even though the Boomers have been labeled the “Me Generation” these ones will walk in the opposite spirit, in love and selflessness. Pray for them!

Marriages- Intercede for marriages in the body of Christ. Pray for every marriage to grow into a deeper, more Christ-centered union. Cry out for those that are in the midst of struggle or even crisis. There is always hope, healing and redemption in Jesus!

Rest - Pray that the Church in Canada would live in the place of rest, and abiding even in the most intense and demanding seasons. Contend that we find our strength in dependance upon Jesus, so we can go the distance in great fruitfulness, rather than burn out.

Servant Heart- Pray for the Church in Canada to embrace the mission of serving God by serving others, especially those that are least honoured by our society. Contend that this servant heart flows though all leadership roles and that the Canadian Church is marked afresh with humility.
Provision- Intercede for the increase of supernatural provision for the advancement of the Kingdom. Contend that we will be kept free from the love of money, instead, great wealth would be stewarded with righteousness and extravagant generosity.
Church Plants- Church plants are often a highly effective evangelism strategy. Cry out for all the Jesus-centred, Spirit-led church plants that are underway or being planned. Pray for new plants to penetrate communities in our land with little or no gospel witness.
Government- Pray for our government to be more influenced with a biblical world view so that freedom of religion, parental rights, value of life and more would grow. Pray for the Conservative party to as they select the new Leader of the Opposition (May 27). Pray for the BC Provincial election (May 9).
Resurrection- “if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we shall certainly be united with Him in a resurrection like His.” (Rom 6:5) Stand in the gap for the Canadian Church to experience the power an wonder of the resurrection in greater and greater ways. Let everything that the Church has allowed to die in obedience to God now spring into resurrection life!

Easter/ Resurrection: We will be celebrating Jesus’s resurrection on April 16th, contend for this weekend to be bursting with hope, salvations and lives rededicated to Jesus. May resurrection power be released to the Church in all areas where there has been a season of death. May the truth of the gospel grip and awaken the Church in fresh, radical ways.
Life: Continue to pray for the ending of abortion in Canada. Pray for the shift in public opinion and a rising outcry for the unborn. Pray for the Life March in May to be a watershed event in Canada. Also pray for the glorious life of God to break out in the Church.
Building: Jesus is building His Church. Pray that everything we do would be aligned with Him, done in His way and with His heart, so that He could be at the centre. Cry out for greater unity, for strength, endurance, for godly, servant-hearted leadership. Pray that everything we do would be to build up, not to tear down.
Momentum: Seek the Lord for an acceleration of His purposes. Where there has been a bogging down or delay, ask for the breakthrough! Contend for open doors, prepared hearts, supernatural provision, divine appointments, all to dramatically advance the gospel. 2Thes 3:1

Life: pray for both spiritual life to come into places of barrenness, and for the protection of natural life. Contend for the upcoming March for Life in Ottawa on May 11th, that the Lord will use it to turn public opinion away from supporting abortion.
Women: There has been a strong prophetic sense that God wants a Proverbs 31 women’s movement to arise. Pray for Christian women in Canada to rise in vision, strength, faith, courage and dignity. Cry out for spiritual mothering to burst forth and strengthen the Church!
Local Church: Intercede for every local church in our nation to become a container ready to host revival. Pray that everything that is man-centred, or which hinders revival will be replaced with what deeply pleases Him. Pray for discipleship and maturity to increase so we will be ready to serve a great harvest.
Reconciliation: In this year leading up to the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, keep asking the Lord to bring supernatural restoration and reconciliation across the body of Christ, in every place there is a breach. Contend for reconciliation in families, between friends, between leaders and churches, even between whole denominations. Let nothing stand in the way of God’s purposes of unity.
Refugees & Immigrants: Seek the Lord for the Church to not only have a biblical perspective of compassion towards immigrants, but cry out for great harvest and revival in these communities. May Canada be a nation that God uses to bring healing to many nations, healing through the gospel of Jesus Christ!

Dawn Breaking - Intercede that light will break in to places and situations of great darkness. Pray for an awakening in the Church, for the light of truth and hope to change the spiritual climate, shifting many out of dullness and slumber.
Universities - Pray along with RLHOP and others contending for a move of God on our university campuses. Consider Luther’s words: “ I greatly fear that the universities, unless they teach the Holy Scriptures diligently and impress them on the young students, are wide gates to hell.” Martin Luther, 1520
Dwelling Place - The Lord desires to dwell more tangibly and powerfully in His Church. Contend for every local church to host the presence, and align with the heart of God in a way that honours and welcomes much more of Him.
Families - Cry out for family salvations, for breakthrough reconciliations, and for strength to come to families in the body of Christ. Pray for Christian marriages to be a place where the Lord can showcase His kingdom, love and glory.

America - Our next door neighbour, America, is in the midst of seismic shifts and upheaval right now. It is a opportune time to stand with America in prayer, regardless of how we might feel about the new Trump administration. Let’s love our neighbour as ourselves.
