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.

the name of the Lord is to be praised.”
~ Psalm 113:3
