Are you struggling in your local community? WPC Teams respond to invitations from local churches, missions and prayer networks. We come and work together with local Christians to listen and understand the local situation. We serve communities by helping to strengthen, encourage and support local leaders and ministries, ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit and carrying His presence, to spark change.

We are in need of more finance to help us to move forward. We have moved into a new season. WPC is being called to do significantly more in mobilising, informing and inspiring prayer in the nation and other parts of the world.

current global information. It will facilitate more informed prayer by individuals, small
groups and church meetings
Developing new technology, apps and social media to enable us to contact more
people and commission people to pray in large numbers over key issues.
Developing prayer resource and materials: Booklets, DVDs, teaching tools, articles,
and other material to equip the experienced pray-er and those new to prayer.
Events – such as Trumpet Call and other prayer initiatives. We are planning to organise
more regional prayer events working with partners.
Strengthen partnership working – supporting key Christian organisations with prayer,

prayer movement. Developing WPC TEAMS, working in communities and with prayer
ministries to pray for blessing and transformation.
