World Prayer Assembly 2012

Sumber: www.wpa2012.org

The World Prayer Assembly (May 14-18, 2012) is taking place in the midst of a modern day spiritual awakening in the nation of Indonesia. Millions of
Indonesians are now connected in prayer for their nation. 24/7 "prayer towers"
are operating in many cities, and over two-hundred thousand trained child
intercessors are crying out tood for the transformation of their nation. The
Lord is moving in this vast archipelago of 17,000 islands with many diverse
people groups. The Church has united in an extraordinary way, creating an
environment for spiritual and societal transformation that is spreading across the
region.

Thousands of prayer, mission and marketplace leaders, along with on-fire
youth and children, will gather in Jakarta to seek the Lord together in a new
paradigm for an international congress. Like the five leaders at Antioch (Acts
13:1-3), we want to "let God be God" and seek Him together for His strategies of
"prayer-action" for our hurting world. It was the first International Prayer
Assembly, almost 30 years ago in Seoul, Korea, in 1984 where the seeds for the
current global prayer movement were sown. Korea will serve as the co-host with
Indonesia for the WPA.

Special track sessions will create a forum for participants to focus on
international issues, cutting-edge models of ministry, and ministry spheres ("7
Mountains") for which they have a passion. And, while there will be world-
renowned speakers, presenters and facilitators for both plenary and track
sessions (such as David Yonggi Cho, Enoch Adeboye, Lee Younghoon, Luis Bush,
Dick Eastman, Suzette Hattingh, Ed Silvoso, Graham Power, Brian Mills, Ian Cole,
Pete Greig, Niko Nyotorahardjo, Iman Santoso, Gloria Au Yeung, Bennie Mostert
and many others), we want to hear from one Personality primarily, the Lord
Himself. All speakers will, therefore, share briefly and in a way that facilitates our
time of encounter with God and one another.

The WPA will be led inter-generationally with youth and children helping to
facilitate plenary and other sessions. There will also be strong youth and children
tracks. This will help launch the next generation of men and women of God to
lead the prayer and mission movements. We want to see modern Josephs,
Esthers, Daniels, and Deborahs raised up so that God will use to impact the
nations.

Then, on May 17, we will gather in the national stadium with 100,000 others,
including 20,000 children intercessors and 20,000 on-fire youth. Over 350 cities
of Indonesia will host simultaneous gatherings, connected by live television with
the Jakarta stadium. Tens of millions more will join us across the world by
satellite TV and Internet streaming. As one of the largest prayer meetings in
history, it has the potential to change our planet in fundamental ways.
We believe the WPA will be a stepping stone to the fulfillment of the ancient
prophet's prediction that "the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory
of the Lord as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14). It will also be a direct
answer of Jesus' prayer in John 17 as Christ's people unite in prayer around the
world.

Please pray for the World Prayer Assembly and join us in Jakarta for this unique
time in the presence of the Lord as His people gather from around the world. If
there are others in your ministry network that you feel should be with us, feel free
to share this letter of invitation with them.
