Who-What-When-Why of the Half-Million Mobilization

Who: Short answer is Everyone! The entire Nazarene Church, 500,000 people in the United States and Canada will rally together in prayer for our churches hope and our future (Jeremiah 29:11)

What: A Call to Pray and a Call to Speak for the future of our denomination and our local churches in Canada and the United States. Pray for the protection, direction, and revelation of the Spirit on our ministries together. Our prayer is to see renewal and a resurgence of the Nazarene Church and holiness message in our people. The Call to Speak is a prayer response/survey to gather feedback on what the Spirit says to the church during this time of prayer.

When: There is a designated day of prayer each month beginning in January and continuing through Sunday, May 1st where the entire church will pray together in our morning services.

January 11th is our 50 senior most regional leaders.

February 1st was our 500 leaders across every District.

March 1st will be 5,000 local church lead pastors.

April Board Meetings will be 50,000 local church boards and ministry leaders, and Sunday.

May 1st will be the entire Church of the Nazarene, 500,000 people praying together in USA/Canada.

From May 1st through Pentecost (June 5th) there will be a daily time of prayer using a Praying Our Way to Pentecost prayer journal. The prayer journal is available online and in print. Plan to follow along and anticipate a great out pouring of the Spirit during this season.

Why: We need God’s plan, God’s purpose to be fulfilled in our lives and in our churches. The disunity in our culture and the decline in our Nazarene ministries must be abated. We must turn to God for His leading, we must seek His will in prayer together. This time of prayer will be unifying for us as a region. God says when we seek after Him with all our hearts, He will be found. (Jeremiah 29:13)

The dream with Half-Million Mobilization is that we will experience unity as a region, we will hear from the Spirit in our times of prayer, we will share with each other what the Spirit is saying, and that we will discover His plans for our hope and future.

Prayer Response / Survey

The Call to Speak is a prayer response / survey meant to be taken one or more times after you hear from the Spirit in your time of prayer. This can be from a designated day of prayer or anytime the Lord calls you to prayer and speaks to you about the future of the church.

The prayer response is short and can be completed in 5 minutes. There is one open-ended question where you can respond with what the Spirit is saying to you. There are two closed-ended questions where you can rank and prioritize our ministry focus areas.
