Converge is “asking God for a gospel movement among every least-reached people group – in our generation.” We not only prioritize the least-reached, but we also prioritize prayer, as reflected in the words “asking God.”
Through prayer, we acknowledge God’s power as ultimate and His involvement as critical for people to come to faith in Jesus. Jesus tells us in scripture, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them,” (John 6:44a).
One of the best ways we can support the efforts of our global workers and their missions work is through prayer. A quote from Ellen Livingood with Catalyst Services underscores the importance of prayer: “How could our church dare to send a missionary without a serious commitment by the congregation to regularly disarm the enemy through powerful intercession?” Because we believe in the importance of undergirding our global workers with prayer, Converge has developed Prayer Networks to support each of our global initiatives.
“What is a Global Prayer Network and how do I join?” We are glad you asked!
These are online prayer groups that meet periodically – monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, or even daily – to pray for the global workers and the ministry they are doing with the initiatives. These provide a great opportunity for people from different churches with common missions goals to come together online for prayer. Many of the global workers join in on these calls, and they are so encouraged to see people joining in prayer for them.
Converge Great Lakes has special partnerships with three initiatives, and we would encourage you to join one of these groups. This is currently the schedule for when the online prayer groups meet:
UK & Ireland Monthly on the 2nd Thurs at 9:30 am; 4th Sunday at 3:00 pm
15:5 West Monthly on the 2nd Saturday at 9:30 am
Metro SenWest Monthly on the 3rd Sunday at 3:00 pm; daily at 6:30 am

Also, the Metro SenWest is also launching a 21 Days of Prayer campaign in the new year that will run from January 5-25. They have worked hard on developing a detailed prayer guide which will help us not only know more about the work going on in Senegal but can also be used as a tool to see how to grow prayer for other missionaries and ministries in your church. To get the prayer guide and sign up for the 21 Days of Prayer, use this link:
