Churches and prayer ministries across New England are praying in unity for the hand of God to move in our region. (For more information on Fifth Fridays, visit www.newenglandalliance.us).

From Connecticut House of Prayer: This year, on September 11th, there will be noontime prayer meetings at every county courthouse in America. We will pray for revival in our country. Our goal is to have 100% coverage, as we had at last year’s “Cry Out America.” Contact Audrey McIntyre at connecticuthouseofprayer at yahoo.com or call (860) 904-7358 if you’d like to participate.
Sobering words from intercessory leader and author Dutch Sheets in his latest video blog. Sheets points out how the percentage of Americans who are committed Christians has dropped in each generation – from 65% in his grandparents’ day to 4% among today’s youth.

Jonathan Edwards
From the Connecticut House of Prayer comes this notice:
The New Hampshire Alliance is a coalition of pastors who covenant to pray together for revival in their state on a regular basis, similar to the Connecticut Pastors’ Alliance Rick McKinniss coordinates. They are part of the New England Alliance. For the past few years they’ve agreed to hold prayer meetings in their churches across the state on the FIFTH FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH, which would be about every quarter. This is patterned after the quarterly prayer meetings Jonathan Edwards organized in the 1700s that ushered in the first Great Awakening.
The New Hampshire Alliance is now challenging the rest of the New England states to coordinate and hold FIFTH FRIDAY PRAYER MEETINGS. We at the CT House of Prayer have agreed to facilitate this.Would you hold community-wide prayer meetings on the FIFTH FRIDAY of every month throughout 2009? The dates would be as follows:
January 30
May 29
July 31
October 30
We encourage everyone in Connecticut to observe these dates as days of fasting and prayer for our State. This method of quarterly fasting for revival was the same method popularized by Jonathan Edwards in 1747 when he wrote his work, “An Humble Attempt to Promote Explicit Agreement and Visible Union of God’s People in Extraordinary Prayer for the Revival of Religion and the Advancement of Christ’s Kingdom on Earth.“
