✦ Joining Together in Focused Prayer for Cities, Nations, Revival, and Houses of Prayer
Prayer Initiatives help unite worshipers, intercessors, churches, prayer leaders, and houses of prayer around strategic areas of prayer for cities, nations, revival, spiritual awakening, missions, and the advancement of the Gospel.
These initiatives are designed to encourage ongoing prayer, worship, collaboration, and spiritual strengthening across regions and nations.
The Nations House of Prayer Equipping Center exists to help encourage and equip believers who want to pray with greater vision, focus, and perseverance for God’s purposes in the earth.
✦ Why Prayer Initiatives?
Prayer initiatives help people pray together with a shared focus.
Instead of praying alone or feeling unsure where to begin, believers can unite around a specific prayer burden, region, season, or assignment. These focused prayer efforts help strengthen faith, build unity, and encourage long-term intercession.
Prayer initiatives may focus on:
- revival and spiritual awakening
- cities and regions
- houses of prayer
- worship and intercession
- churches and spiritual strengthening
- missions and unreached peoples
- young people and future leaders
- unity in the body of Christ
- the Mediterranean region
- nations in need of prayer
✦ Current Prayer Initiative

Current prayer focuses include:
- strengthening prayer movements

✦ Sicily House of Prayer Focus
A special focus of the Mediterranean Prayer Initiative is the developing Sicily House of Prayer emphasis.
This focus includes prayer, worship, intercession, practical preparation, prayer room tools, leadership helps, and guided resources for strengthening worship and prayer in Sicily and throughout the Mediterranean region.
The Sicily focus is not only an event. It is part of a larger prayer vision to see worship, prayer, and intercession strengthened across cities, churches, communities, and nations.
