National Day of Prayer and Fasting 2023

Prayer Points

From Barry Silverback
International Missions Director

  1. Under the heading of leadership challenges - the challenges that many leaders are personally facing in relation to how to transition into a younger generation of leadership.

  2. The challenges leadership are facing in how to care for their people in a hostile environment of anti-Christian and economic hardship. 

  3. The need for a genuine move of God (revival) in the terms of transformed lives who are passionate about pioneering and leaving a legacy for future generations.

From Pr Mike Cronin
Australian Missions Director

Praying for the fulfilment of our International Vision.

  1. The expansion of CRC into further nations. In round terms we have at least 100 nations to reach in the next 22 years (5 nations per year). We could easily achieve this by:

    • 50 existing CRC Churches opening another nation every 10 years.

    • 25 existing CRC Churches opening another nation every 5 years.

    • 10 existing CRC Churches opening another nation every 2 years.

    • 1 existing CRC Church opening another 5 nations per year.

    • What will your church do?

  2. The depth of the work in all the existing nations that CRC is involved in with people being born again, leaders trained, churches planted and many demonstrations of the supernatural power of God.

  3. The strengthening of all CRC leaders in each nation that they may be refreshed and have increased revelation of the power of the risen Christ in them, so that they may powerfully and boldly declare the good news of Jesus together with great signs and wonders.

From Pr Bill Vasilakis
Australian National Chairman

  1. Pray the new CRC nations of East Africa and Ghana in West Africa will be greatly strengthened over the next 12 months by our CRC vision, values and teaching distinctives. Pray their influence will facilitate New Testament revival and rapid spiritual expansion and facilitate the establishment of the CRC into other nations on the vast African continent.

  2. Pray for the success of the new proposed initiative by the National Executive Council (NEC) in PNG of a week-long School of the Teacher for 2024 and subsequent years. Pray that all the lead pastors of our 500 plus churches and outreaches will be greatly upskilled theologically and provided with excellent Biblical resources.

  3. Pray that every CRC Church and ordained pastor in Australia will get personally involved in a meaningful way to contribute into another nation across the earth. Pray that our financial giving will increase and that many teams will go and minister into the nations and people groups we are reaching into.
