‘Beyond the Pandemic: Is there any word from the Lord?’ by Rev Dr Clifford Hill
When a pandemic is unleashed, how should Christians respond?
Beyond the Pandemic provides a Biblical view of the contemporary world situation.
It focuses upon what the Biblical prophets called “the deeds of the Lord” – the historical evidence of the activity of God in the life and times of the leaders of Israel and Judah, from Moses to Malachi. This revelation of the nature of God is set alongside contemporary events, providing a prophetic view of God’s purposes in these troubled times.
After years of warnings to our society, which has turned its back on Him, who is both Creator and Sovereign over the world in which we live, we must either repent or face yet worse afflictions; Hill points us to the only effective remedy – God’s word spoken through Isaiah 45:22, “Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God and there is no other.”
The Rev. Dr Clifford Hill MA, BD, PhD, Sociologist and Theologian, is a lecturer, preacher and broadcaster who has written over forty books. He is an ordained minister in the Congregational church, has led multi-ethnic congregation in London and continues to exercise pastoral oversight of an inner-city church.
He is editor-in-chief of Prophecy Today UK, which seeks to apply God’s word in the Bible to current affairs and, with his wife, Monica, is joint director of Issachar Ministries which supports Christians in prayer and action.

- Unites prayer throughout your church. An attractive, easy-to-use tool that can help unite prayers between many churches throughout an entire community.
- Lifts prayer from private or trivial matters. Helps your people learn to pray for what matters most by directing attention toward what God is doing in the lives of people throughout your community.
- Builds the confidence of everyday believers to help them pray with clarity, authority and relevance as they learn to pray in keeping with scripture. Involves everyone in your church family, not just a “prayerful elite.”

The annual Buddhist World Prayer Focus is calling Christians and churches worldwide to take 15 days to learn about and pray for our world’s Buddhist friends between Jan 28th and Feb 11th, 2021.
The informative prayer guide booklets will help Christians to know how to pray for the people(s) growing up within this major and truly diverse world religion.
We recognize that Buddhism is an extraordinarily complex and often confusing worldview. At the same time, as Christians, we long that all the world’s people(s) will have an opportunity to freely see, hear and understand the grace of God incarnated in Jesus Christ.
To this end we inform ourselves, pray for and want to support opportunities to make that grace known also within the world’s Asian Communities.
The guide is available in these languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, German, French, Thai, Korean and Vietnamese

We are pleased to bring you this special edition of IPC Connections.
We would appreciate your help please - by sharing this information as widely as possible!
As well as bringing some extremely important international prayer briefings, this edition marks the launch of ‘Hope of the Coming Harvest 2021’ which is a coming together of a number of events and initiatives with a common focus on prayer, mission and revival that are taking place between now and August. The theme for this program is based on Luke 10:2: He told them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’
Dr Jason Hubbard’s Editorial article carrying the same title sets out the Hope of the Coming Harvest theme. In it, he brings to life the strength in the words that Jesus used both to instruct us to pray, but also the prayer for the laborers not to be just ‘sent’, but to be ‘hurled forth’ into His harvest!
Jason also highlights the GO Movement’s ‘GO Month’ which takes place through May. This is a further unique collaboration of a huge number of Christian mission organisations and evangelistic networks that seeks to mobilise 100 million in prayer to reach 1 billion for Christ over this next decade!
Do be encouraged as you reflect on and respond to Jason’s inspirational teaching and sharing of the ‘GO Month’ vision.
We are covering a number of key events that are part of the Hope of the Coming Harvest below. Each one is remarkable in its own right!! Please participate as you are able, help us get the message out… but above all, do be in prayer with us for this unprecedented season of outreach, for an outpouring of God’s spirit on all people. (Acts 2:17-21)
You are invited to join us for World Prayer Together on Saturday 1st May - a 2-hour online prayer and worship gathering launching GO Month.
The event is being led by a group of highly respected prayer ministry leaders from around the world and is being broadcast from IHOP KC and GODTV globally at 7pm in each region.
Full details follow below and at

We are pleased to report that the Global Family 24/7 - 365 Online Prayer Room is going from strength to strength with continuous prayer led by 168 hourly hosts each week. Do join us anytime!
With each edition of Connections, we are introducing you to members of the IPC Council. This month we welcome and talk with a long-standing friend and colleague, Rev Ann Low from Malaysia who is an Exec Team member who also serves with the South East Asia Prayer Council.
Giving thanks for Luis Palau - This last month, we saw the passing of another great evangelist and man of faith - Luis Palau. He passed away on Thursday March 11th from complications of lung cancer. He was 86. In 55 years of ministry, it’s estimated that Palau reached one billion people in 75 countries with the message of the Gospel - through crusades and then “CityFest” outreaches. Many of the IPC team have had associations with him and his remarkable ministry. John Robb shared: ‘Luis Palau and I were in Indonesia to speak for a conference about 30 years ago, and I remember his warm-hearted, engaging personality as well as the compelling, passionate speaker he was in declaring the Gospel of Christ. Earth is now poorer, but Heaven is richer because of this dear man of God.’
