PrayBC launches Civic Election Prayer Initiative

Today marks the beginning of the civic election campaign in BC. In 189 municipalities across BC, we are beginning the process of choosing mayors, councillors and school trustees. In light of the recent federal election and the coming US election, most people won't think that civic politics is really that important. The reality is that civic politicians affect our lives on a daily basis and what happens during this election is important.

We want to see God use this election to accomplish His purposes in every community in BC and so we are launching a Prayer Initiative via email and this blog site to help people pray for the election campaign. Starting today, we will provide you with a daily prayer focus, scripture verse and written prayer. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for as many people as possible to pray with us through the election campaign. This is designed to take only a few minutes a day but will actually affect the destiny of your city.

I had an inspiring visit with a new friend yesterday afternoon who said that when we pray like this, what we are really doing is holding up targets to attract God's attention. It's a fresh way of looking at prayer for me. Rather than wrestling against something, I'm actually inviting God into my world to work in amazing ways. If I've learned anything about God over the course of my life it's that He longs to work in amazing ways in our world. He's just waiting for us to ask.

We want to invite you to be a part of what we are doing. Our goal is to build a prayer network across BC that will touch heaven for the next 32 days on behalf of our communities. I believe God is eager to respond and to make Himself known all across our province in this way. You can participate by joining our email list. When you do, you will receive a daily email up until November 16.

You can also help us by forwarding this information to pastors and prayer group leaders. Our hope is to build a network of 10,000 people who will pray with us all across BC. Join us today!
