Jesus is Lord: New Year’s Sunrise Prayer Relay 2022
Believers gathered all over the world to welcome the new year with prayer and fellowship. May God shower abundant blessings upon the nations in 2022.
Thank you for awakening the dawn in prayer on New Year’s Day 2022.
It is so wonderful to be a part of this initiative joining believers in prayer all around the world either at public places or in their homes; it is like a wave of prayer over the nations to begin the new year.
We love receiving all the photos, videos, and stories from around the world. If you have anything to share, please email us.
Here are some of the photos we have received so far:

2022 shall be a year of movement into the promised timeline of God. Let’s go!”

Let’s continue to pray and go in 2022. May the Kingdom of God come and His will be done in your life, in your family, in your nation, and in the nations, on earth as it is in Heaven.
“From the rising of the sun to where it sets,
the name of the Lord is to be praised.”
~ Psalm 113:3
