ADV’s Forty Day Season of Prayer and Fasting

September 13-October 22, 2009

Why an ADV Forty Day Season of Prayer and Fasting?

Our purpose is to share together as a community in a season of focused prayer, asking our Lord to work in hearts and through circumstances to bring an end to the litigation over church properties that is sweeping across our nation. As this season of litigation lengthens, it is time for us to pray for a cessation of court actions. In the process, we will ask God (1) to use us to bring many people to a relationship with Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:16-20); (2) to guide us in growing our parishes spiritually, numerically, and financially; (3) to give us a hunger for missions; (4) to bring about circumstances whereby those litigating over church properties will decide to stop doing so, so that monies can be used for mission and ministry rather than court proceedings; (5) to bring comfort and strength to all parishes, districts, and dioceses being sued.

What is the hoped-for outcome of ADV’s Forty Day Season of Prayer and Fasting?
A closer walk with the Lord;
A stronger commitment to bible reading;
A new desire to share the Good News of Jesus Christ;
An enhanced sense of call to mission and ministry;
An end to the litigation over church properties which is sweeping
our nation.

Daily prayers and collects
