From www.forwardinfaith.com FiF International News Today the leaders of Forward in Faith throughout the world are asking that its members and supporters enter into forty days of prayer preceding the historic meeting of bishops and representatives from the worldwide Anglican Churches.
‘GAFCON, the Global Anglican Future Conference, will focus on the Mission of the Church; bringing souls to Jesus Christ,’ said Stephen Parkinson, the Director of Forward in Faith in the United Kingdom.
‘Our Lord Jesus Christ commanded us to extend His Kingdom and to keep His commandments. GAFCON’s brings our focus upon the implications of the Great Commission; we come together as ministers to carry out our Lord’s directive. I hope every member of Forward in Faith will be part lifting up each body and each person who will be coming to Jerusalem that we be “moving in the Power of God,’ said Bishop Keith Ackerman, SSC, President of Forward in Faith North America and current TEC Bishop of Quincy (IL).
The Common Cause Partnership (CCP) is hosting a prayer blog so that Anglicans around the world might join as one in the 40 days leading to GAFCON. The Book of Common Prayer contains prayers for The Church, The Unity of the Church, For Mission, and other great prayers upon which we can frame our 40 days of prayer ask that God might use Anglicans for bringing the message of Jesus Christ to all peoples and places.
