Talking Jesus: New Year prayer call

The Evangelical Alliance, HOPE, and the Church of England are launching a time of prayer from 31 December 2015 to 3 January 2016 in response to the game-changing research about perceptions of Jesus published earlier this year, ‘Talking Jesus’. The three organisations have collaborated on resources to encourage churches and individuals to pray during watch-night services on New Year's Eve and on the first Sunday in 2016 that more people would come to understand better the hope that is in Jesus. The research showed that an increasing number of people in the UK have little understanding of who Jesus is. Christians are being encouraged to respond in prayer to the publication, as well as to embark on a long-term commitment to changing the story in the UK, so that people might meet Jesus, love him and follow him. Resources include a video to play at the prayer events, a Talking Jesus New Year prayer, and a leaflet to equip congregations to pray.
