I received this through e-mail yesterday morning and believe it is God's heart for Europe. It doesn't matter that it's already started as it's no problem for people to join in part way through - I believe this will build and build as more and more people join this move of prayer and fasting for the nations of our continent.
I am sending this out to various people in this nation and across the continent and if it witnesses with you would you send it out to people you know across Europe.
I've included 3 small You tube links which explain:
About the vision behind the prayer and fasting
The main points to be praying into
The all night prayer meeting in Geneva Switzerland on May 31st
1. 40 day fast for revival in Europe 21 April-30 May 14, Sharon Stone interviews Lou Engle in London 12 April 14:
2. Lou Engle speaks on what to pray for during the fast:
To pray that:
Jesus unleashes a revelation of himself to the church all through Europe.
Unbelievers would be awakened, have dreams, visions and supernatural encounters with Jesus.
We say "Lord of the harvest - thrust forth labourers into the harvest field"
In the next 10 years stadiums would be filled across Europe as a great awakening spreads across the continent.
that the next generation - the young people would be delivered from addictions and would receive a double portion anointing.

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) continues to cause havoc and insecurity in Egypt bytheir terrorismin spite of the fact they are disliked by most of the population (85%). A few days ago, two bombs exploded in 6th October, five minutes from the clinicwhere our daughter is helping. Also MB residents in our area tried to start a sit-in, which resulted in clashes between the MBs and the police. One a positive note we are delighted that the constitution was passed. Preparations for the presidential elections in the end of May are going quite well. After that the Parliamentary polls will follow.
The country continues to suffer economically. Tourism, a major contributor in the Egyptian economy, is down. Its revenues slid 66% in the first half of fiscal year 2013/2014, according to Ministry of Finance. A reassuring thing is that the majority of Egyptians today are standing up for equal rights for all. That includes the Christians, who should not be considered second-class citizens. For the first time in the history of modern Egypt, the President visited the Coptic Orthodox Pope and congratulated him for Christmas.
From some Egyptian prayer leader friends in the Cairo area.
The situation continues to worsen inside the country, and the number of refugees are increasing everyday. It seems there is no end to this tragedy in sight. The Christians continue to face extermination attacks by islamic fighters and fleeing the country. Large parts of the infrastructure are being destroyed. The three largest cities, Homs, Aleppo and Hamma, are being completely destroyed. There is about 6.5million internally displaced people (IDP) and around 2.6million refugees. 9.3 million need humanitarian aid.
Pray for an end to the civil war in Syria. Pray for the refugees that they will be helped and touched by the love of God. Pray for 6.5million children affected by this war. Pray for s just government and for the church to stand these difficulties, and trials and to be a lighthouse during this time of turmoil.
Pray with us for a hoped-for prayer initiative there, May 27-30, for His unity, anointing and protection for the team and that the Lord will make them a great blessing and encouragement for the Syrian believers.
Eunice Barruel and Lenny Laguardia who coordinated this 12 hour broadcast from the International House of Prayer in Kansas City reported that 20 different prayer movements and 39 countries took part in this first-run of a globally linked, Internet-driven effort to raise up children and youth through prayer.
Praise the Lord that a template was created for future efforts and we hope to see wider ownership and involvement for the next such initiative. For more information or to see segments of the initiative that are still on the website, please go to www.globalprayerandpraise.com.
We would greatly value your getting the word out to others, especially children and youth and those who serve them in ministry.
Saudis are some of the most active users of social media in the Arab world. It is estimated that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) currently has more than five million Twitter users. This is more than any other nation in the region. Facebook has over 7.8 million users in KSA alone.
Additionally, many Saudis download popular Apps (via Apple IOS and Android IOS) on a daily basis. According to a popular Saudi blogger, Saudis' lives were isolated and, before the advent of social media, they did not know if other like-minded people existed in the world.
Window International Network has recently released the "Pray4Saudi" Application available for Android and Apple devices. It is available as a free download for the first 10,000 users and will be used in the upcoming "Pray4Ramadan & Pray4Hajj" international Twitter prayer campaigns.
This strategic prayer initiative will begin on the evening of 27 JUNE 2014 and will continue for the duration of the Ramadan season. You can click here and receive your free download right now. This quick and easy App will equip you to participate in this historic prayer effort.
Emerging social media opens doors for Christians to share the Good News with, and mobilize prayer for, those who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. Christian Believers around the world can also unite for a common cause. For example, click the "AMEN" button on the App, testifying your agreement with the daily prayer. Also, you can share the daily prayer, including the hashtag #Pray4Ramadan and/or #Pray4Hajj, to help further the Pray4Saudi movement.
The first 1,000 users to download the App have the opportunity to share a one-sentence biblically based prayer in English on our Twitter feed and Facebook timeline. Can you imagine that your prayer could go around the world, in addition to impacting the heavens?
Prayer Request:
Pray that Christian Believers from Muslim backgrounds are encouraged to witness through emerging social media (The Bible, Deuteronomy 31:6).
SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST: Pray for the "Pray4Saudi" Mobile App to be downloaded by over 1,000 users this Ramadan season. (The Bible, Deuteronomy 1:11).
Once again I want to commend to you a very timely prayer guide called 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World. As most of you know, Muslims observe a 30-day period of fasting, prayer and seeking God every year that they call "Ramadan." This is an ideal time to pray for God's purposes to be fulfilled in their lives and families. This year Ramadan falls on June 27 to July 28, 2014. An international movement of intercession for the Muslim world has prepared this informative prayer guide. It is translated in more than 20 languages, so Christians from all over the world will be praying in unison for Muslims.
The chaos and uncertainty of today's world may be slowly hardening the hearts of some Christians against the world's Muslims. I know that Bible-believing Christians are among those most likely to pray for Muslim neighbors and nations. I urge you to get your personal copy soon. As you look through the guide, think of other friends who you will want to invite to join with you in praying over these 30 days. Consider involving your church in this special time.
The full-color, illustrated prayer guide is a proven tool to help Christians pray with informed wisdom and hope for Muslim neighbors across the street as well as Muslim people around the world. Each day focuses on a specific issue or area of the Islamic world. As you read through it and pray, you'll gain a better understanding of Muslims and find your hope increase for God's purpose among all peoples. A special "Just for Kids" edition is also available.
Check out a few sample pages and order this 56-page guide at www.waymakers.org. WayMakers has made it easy to order from our website or by phone. The cost begins at $3 for a single copy ($3.50 for kids) with discounts as great as 60% when ordered in quantity. Check out the details online at www.waymakers.org or call us at 512.419.7729.

P.S. The Global Day of Prayer USA ten days of prayer leading up to Pentecost Sunday begins on Thursday, May 29. Check out the details at www.gdopusa.com
2014 will have profound significance for the USA . It is an unprecedented opportunity to see the Lord's healing and renewing power made manifest when all citizens come humbly before His throne.
The theme for 2014 is One Voice, United in Prayer, emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to place their faith in the unfailing character of their Creator, who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and men. Romans 15:6 as the Scripture for this year: "So that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
The NDP went very well yesterday with over 43,000 prayer groups and gatherings across the nation and believers from up to 200 nations taking part through the Internet live stream from Washington DC. Anne Graham Lotz, the daughter of Billy Graham, the chairperson for the NDP in 2014, strongly urged us as Americans to humble ourselves and confess the sin of our nation to God who is ringing alarms to get our attention through the climatic disasters, economic downturn and other things to show us that we are not right with him as a nation.
You can still view the excellent program on this website https://nationaldayofprayer.org/2014-national-observance/ and find other information about the NDP there. Thanks for praying for the USA at this crucial time in our history.
An excellent prayer guide for the USA and the NDP was created by Dick Eastman of Every Home for Christ. It is a colorful and well laid out, multi-page tool that can be folded and kept in your Bible. A map of the 50 states with pictures of our national leaders as well as relevant prayer foci are included. Within the USA, you can get a free copy by calling 1 800 3224693 or at www.ehcprayer.org.

Prayer Furnaces. Jesus has called us to call forth a generation that would carry his fire and presence - the fuel for such a movement is through day & night prayer.
Today we are responding to such a call to light fires and to return to our first love being Jesus this is done through Prayer furnaces or what we call (The furnace).
Houses of Prayer that release His Presence, His fire and Glory. The Furnace is a bringing together of those with a gift in the arts, the prophetic, worship, evangelism and intercession. It's about responding to Jesus call to see a restoration of the tabernacle of David and to see his church become a house of prayer once again. We want to see furnaces start in places across Australia- and in nations where there are the most unreached people groups.
The Furnace is a response to the mandate in Ezekiel 10:2 With your hands take a handful of burning coals of fire and take the coals and scatter them over the city.
