The Prayer for the World
The "Prayer for the World" will be used in every GDOP gathering around the world.
Versions of this prayer have already been used amidst gatherings in Africa and across the globe. It has been recently refined by members of the International Prayer Council.
The trinitarian and responsive structure resounds with the ancient creedal affirmations of the Church. At the same time it provides contemporary wording, both to confess our sin and brokenness, and also to express our heart cry of hope, that God will move mightily in transforming power among the nations.
In order to read it together, make plans to place the prayer before every participant, either by projecting the prayer on screen, or by providing copies.

Different ways to use the "Prayer for the World":
* Pray it beforehand. Encourage churches to read the prayer during Sunday morning Pentecost services (It only takes five minutes) or other prayer gatherings. Any gathering of any size that meets during the ten-day vigil should open or conclude by reading this prayer. Why not encourage families to read it together every day during the ten days of prayer leading to Pentecost?
* Read it responsively. Invite seven leaders to read the respective sections, with congregated participants reading the responses.
* Read it in unison. The prayer begins with fundamental confessions of faith and builds momentum through the confession of our deepest sorrows and sins and then comes to express our greatest hope in Christ for all the world.
* Read the seven sections as distinct segments of your prayer gathering. More than one gathering will be using the seven sections of the prayer to demarcate their program into seven segments.
