About Unceasing Prayer
Unceasing Prayer builds upon what God has already done and is doing, much like a runner passing the baton in a relay race.
- Do you and your church have a heart for prayer?
- Would you like to link up in unity through the Bay Area?
- Would you like to see more of your folks praying?
- Can you gather a group to pray throughout one day a month, or even a portion of a day?
Then link up with Unceasing Prayer as we cover every day of every month, with prayer for our churches, neighborhoods and cities.
Get StartedOur goal is to cover all 31 days in prayer, each month, resulting in on-going Unceasing Prayer for the Bay Area.
Over the last few months, many churches and ministries have started weekly or daily prayer sessions. Others may not be doing this formally but are praying in times like these.
As our Bay Area’s focus shifts from one crisis and concern to another, we are more in need than ever to see a chorus of round-the-clock "Unceasing Prayer" thread the needle for unity in our churches across our cities.
