THEME: "CELEBRATING HIS GOODNESS AND MERCY THROUGH UNITY " - EPHESIANS 4:3
In 2002, 300 prayer leaders gathered in South Africa with the revelation to pray for revival and transformation of the nations of the world. As the leaders knitted their hearts in prayer, the power of the Holy Spirit came upon them, revealing His purpose for South East Asia as well as His amazing glory.
Thus, the South East Asia Prayer Council (SEAPC) movement was formed and in 2003, the first Prayer Consultation started in Cambodia.
Under the continuing leadership of the Holy Spirit, the SEAPC movement was consumed with unceasing fervor to seek God more than revival. And revival was certainly experienced in the latest 12th SEAPC Gathering in Bangkok, Thailand.
The SEAPC leadership team continues on a journey to seek God first in its United Prayer Initiatives for the Healing of the SEA nations in order to affect the 7 spheres thus. bringing forth the Testimony of the KINGDOM causing an “AWAKENING” to those who listen to HIS VOICE as they serve in their gifting in the different Spheres such as the , Church, Family, Education, Government , Media, Arts and Business.
When God’s People are United, Power is RELEASED.
The anointing is in the Church for the Healing of the Nations with their broken government and justice Systems through the Preaching and Teaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom, manifesting the reign of Jesus over all the earth.
Quoting from Dr. Lance Wallnau’s revelation, from “The Seven Mountain Strategy”, God is teaching us how to go into CONVERGENCE (being in the flow until you honor the way you were made) and into MATURITY.
With changes in the SOUTH CHINA SEA, the NOKOR threats, ISIS, Syrian Migration, Worldwide Economic collapse, we need to look at the Opportunity that we have to embrace CHANGE.
Our hearts and minds need to be focused on God and aligned with His purposes.
God is constantly releasing CHANGE, as He shakes the whole earth, the old system in order to show that “Only His Kingdom will remain”
What a great opportunity we have to face the challenging times in our region and as we walk through the process, we are changed, like the children of Israel, when they journeyed through the wilderness. The Lord is at work on our behalf for the next decade as we continue to wait on Him. (Isaiah 64:4).
Let us therefore listen carefully to the promptings of the Holy Spirit as we purpose in our hearts to come to a very special place of MEETING for UNITED PRAYER for the SEA REGION in PUTRAJAYA, MALAYSIA for the 13th PRAYER SEAPC CONSULTATION in OCTOBER 4-7, 2016.
Our earnest prayer is "THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN”.

The persecution of Christians is escalating worldwide. A recent survey found that in just the past year, more than 7,100 believers were killed for their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. In many countries, they are being systematically tortured and slaughtered by Islamic radicals hell-bent on eradicating any vestige of Christianity. Churches are burned, looted, and bulldozed. Pastors are frequently targeted and martyred. In dozens of other countries, Christians are severely oppressed by government authorities and routinely denied any chance at an education and jobs. They live as second-class citizens, shunned and mocked by their neighbors who despise Christ.
And make no mistake, hostility toward Christians in the United States is on the rise and will grow unless we stand up for our freedoms of religion and conscience. Believers in this country have already become the target of a culture that has turned its back on Almighty God. This is being driven especially by progressives, LGBT activists, and the anti-God forces of secularism.
In Illinois, the Christian owner of a bed-and-breakfast has been under intense attack by a gay couple for declining to host their same-sex wedding. The state has fined the owner $81,000, citing his use of Scripture to defend his position as one of the justifications for the fine. Bakers in Oregon have been forced to shut their business down and fined by the state after they said no to creating a wedding cake for a gay couple. In Washington, a 71-year-old Christian florist is battling the state over refusing to participate in a same-sex wedding. In New Mexico and Colorado, Christian business owners have been persecuted by state agencies and the courts for adhering to their sincerely held beliefs on the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman. These are government actions—right here in our own nation—targeting citizens for trying to live their lives according to biblical principles.
That’s why I’m particularly grateful for the governors and legislators of states like Mississippi and North Carolina. In Mississippi, Gov. Phil Bryant signed a freedom of religion bill to protect the rights of Christians to live out their faith in obedience to the Word of God. Without this kind of protection, churches could be forced to perform same-sex marriages, and businesses could face an onslaught of lawsuits by gay activists for refusing to accommodate their perverted lifestyle.
In my home state of North Carolina, Gov. Pat McCrory called a special session of the state legislature to pass a bill restricting transgenders from claiming the right to walk into any public restroom they choose. This bill was necessary to protect women and children from sexual predators. Immediately after the passage, the state came under a concerted attack by companies supporting the misguided policies of gay activists and threatening to withdraw their business from the state. Pray that the governor will hold his ground and not give in.
Unfortunately, governors from states like Georgia, Indiana, and Virginia eventually bowed to pressure from corporations, media, and gay activists and vetoed religious freedom bills passed by their state legislators. We must not underestimate the power of godless, immoral forces who are seeking to impose their anti-Christian agenda on all of us.
The Bible says that we should not be surprised by such hostility and persecution. “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come … . Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:1, 12, NKJV).
On Easter Sunday, believers gathered at a local park in Lahore, Pakistan, to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. That afternoon, Islamic Taliban terrorists massacred more than 70 people in a suicide attack, including many women and children. At least 320 were badly injured. Afterward, the Taliban bragged about the slaughter. Two weeks earlier, two churches were bombed during worship services, killing 15 and wounding many more.
In Niger, churches have been bombed and others burned to the ground by angry hordes of Islamic followers. Four national Bible translators were recently murdered by extremists in a Middle Eastern country. Eleven indigenous Christians were crucified and beheaded in Aleppo, Syria, last fall. Four nuns were brutally mowed down by Islamic gunmen in Yemen in March. These are just a few of the thousands of believers who have been persecuted for their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We cannot look the other way. The Bible says, “You are the body of Christ, and members individually. … If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it” (1 Corinthians 12:27, 26).
I am continuing to go state to state with the Decision America Tour, and we thank God for His hand of blessing on these prayer rallies. More than 71,000 people have joined us at the events in the states where we have been so far, and more than 22,000 people have let us know that they are committing themselves to pray for America and its future, to stand firm on the Word of God and live out their faith boldly, and to actively engage in the current election process. If you would commit to the same pledge, you can read it and add your name to it by visiting DecisionAmericaTour.com…I present the Gospel clearly at every Decision America Tour prayer gathering, and we have seen hundreds of people come to faith on their capitol steps, accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior and experiencing the forgiveness of their sins and the hope of a new life—eternal life. We praise God for each one…

Let’s pray for those experiencing persecution for their Christian faith around the world and that we who live in the West will be ready to go through persecution ourselves since it is part and parcel of being a true Christian. Pray too for Franklin Graham and the Decision America Tour.
Redeeming Our Land Gathering -The Canyon,The River,The Scroll, The Mountain
I see the Grand Canyon.. see the Colorado..see out of the River..come creatures of every kind, creatures that crawl,that creep, four footed beasts, fowls of air. "These are all symbols of which have robbed you and your people's inheritance.. lies and deceptive spirits..embedded in rituals and false beliefs ..these have carved themselves so deep.. and deeper by each passing generation.. in the smudges, the miry, muddy River..some embedded in the grandeur walls. Forever lost was The Truth, so it seemed, none to redeem ever.
Saying" this is where I belong, this is my dwelling place, my habitat, my home, I'm welcomed here". I awakened.
I once again see the Ancient Canyon, the Colorado, the River's running Blood Red, this time I see something stirring in the bloody River, suddenly an eagle rises out of the Red River, the Eagle ascends..piercing through the clouds, into the heights of heaven, no sooner then it disappears… he reappears swooping down with a scroll in its claws…sweeps over the River and releases the Scroll into the River's Canyon…with each passing flight with it's powerful wings he overshadows the Canyon.
I noticed...
The Canyon was filling up…'til it was filled, the Canyon disappears, the presence of the screeching cry silenced,the Eagle lands.
I looked again….The Eagle's gone..instead a man standing with an open Scroll in his hands.
My heart is saddened…Not that the Majestic Canyon was gone,but the River?
I see this time a Mountain begins to manifest (looked liked it was materializing as I was the beholder)where the man with the Scroll was.
A new spring begin to flow out of the Mountain, a new River…a new race appears out of that River, people thousands upon thousands… a new River with a new beginning...a new path…starting over.. a new course...new life it'll bring.. a renewed destiny...are fulfilled.
"The Scroll holds a record of a destiny of a Nation/s"
My heart was at peace..the warmth.. the assurance.. "All will be well from now on"
I stood there with my heart filled joy and confidence…"Nothing will ever go wrong again".
I knew I wasn't alone..there wasn't a time in my life that I recalled.. or recollect.. I was so thankful…my redemption had come full circle...I finally knew what it meant to be restored.. completely. "
Glory be to our Lord God forever! Amen.
(The Scroll holds the record...a testimony of Nations coming...into a New Kingdom)
Afterwards… that morning…with my body tingling with a sense of feeling..strong upon me .. a sense that whatever declaration we make…we would be the recipients!

Pray with our Native brothers and sisters for the First Nations to arise and play their part in God’s purposes for the deliverance of our nations. They have an indispensable role and special authority in prayer.
Through the grace and help of the Lord, we in the IPC are rejoicing at what an amazing and far-reaching impact united prayer efforts are having on the nations! I believe future history is being shaped by such prayer efforts. As one theologian put it, intercessors are the “shapers of the future”. Let's keep going and see God do "far more abundantly that all we can ask or imagine" through the diverse events, initiatives and networks He is raising up through His praying people worldwide. May He be glorified and may His Church and our world be deeply impacted in the months to come!
Please pray with us for these upcoming initiatives to be greatly used of the Lord to impact our world for Jesus Christ:
1) UPRISING, July 26-29, in South Korea and encourage any under-35 next generation leaders to take part along with older ministry leaders who would like to be there to support the younger generation and serve as mentors. About 500 are currently registered but we would like to have many more take part. Details can be found on www.unitedprayerrising.com There are also remaining financial costs that we could use your help in meeting.
2) Global Proclamation Congress, June 15-22 in Bangkok. About 2500 pastoral trainers attending from 102 nations in Bangkok so far. For more information www.gprocongress.org
3) Every 4 years, the 24-7 Prayer Movement has an international gathering. This year, it will be 21-30 October in Geneva with the theme: 'Awaken the Dawn'. This is the promotional video for the conference if you would like to share it with anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WbRXmvG_SQ&feature=share. This is where you can find info and buy tickets: http://www.24-7prayer.com/events/geneva16
In addition, the IPC leadership is praying about a possible gathering of international prayer leaders next year. It will have been 15 years since almost 300 prayer network leaders gathered in South Africa to launch the IPC. Since then many national, regional and global prayer initiatives have taken place. What is the Lord saying to us now in the international prayer movement? How can we work together for the future to maximize the impact on our world and for the fulfillment of His global purposes in and through the Body of Christ? We would appreciate your prayers for His guidance and clarity in our planning together and if you have any suggestions, please write to us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

“It applies only to certain offences and this comes under the jurisdiction of the Syariah court and is only applicable to the Muslims. It has nothing to do with non-Muslims.” If there is any truth to this at all, the laws regarding the subjugation of non-Muslims as dhimmis will not be imposed, but this will give an immense boost to Sharia hardliners who want to see those laws implemented in Malaysia as well as the hudud laws — that is, the laws mandating amputation and stoning, etc.
“Malaysia Backs Islamic Law,” Reuters, May 29, 2016:
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) – Prime Minister Najib Razak’s government threw its support in parliament last week behind an Islamic penal code that includes amputations and stoning, shocking some of his allies and stoking fears of further strains in the multi-ethnic country.
Critics believe the scandal-tainted prime minister is using “hudud,” the Islamic law, to shore up the backing of Muslim Malay voters and fend off attacks on his leadership ahead of critical by-elections next month and a general election in 2018.
The government on Thursday unexpectedly submitted to parliament a hudud bill that had been proposed by the Islamist group Parti Islam se-Malaysia’s (PAS).
Although debate on the law was deferred to October by PAS leader Abdul Hadi Awang, its submission to parliament brought criticism from leaders across the political spectrum, including allies of the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition, who represent the ethnic Chinese and Indian communities.
Mr. Najib sought to ease tensions with his allies on Friday, saying the bill was “misunderstood.”
“It’s not hudud, but what we refer to as enhanced punishment,” he told a news conference after meeting leaders of his ruling United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) party.
“It applies only to certain offences and this comes under the jurisdiction of the Syariah court and is only applicable to the Muslims. It has nothing to do with non-Muslims.”…

Let’s pray for Malaysia and its government to be purged of its corruption and kept from going down the sharia road towards increasing Islamism and the bondage and oppression it brings on a free society.

“The Islamic State’s recent defeats on the battlefield signal that its once-vaunted militia army has been hobbled by worsening money problems, desertions and a dwindling pool of fighters, analysts and monitoring groups say….’These issues suggest that as an entity that is determined to hold onto territory, the Islamic State is not sustainable,’ said Jacob Shapiro, an expert on the Islamic State who teaches politics at Princeton University.” — Washington Post, February 6, 2016
The WaPo was by no means the first to pronounce the Islamic State in imminent danger of death. The Atlantic announced in January 2015: “ISIS Is Losing Its Greatest Weapon: Momentum: Evidence suggests that the Islamic State’s power has been declining for months.”
A CNN headline asked in November 2014: “Has ISIS peaked? Terror group suffers setbacks in Iraq.”
CNN followed a few weeks later with “For ISIS, tough times as it seeks to regroup.”
The New York Times announced on February 4, 2015, that “ISIS Is Losing in Iraq.”
On April 15, 2015, Vox issued its own report: “ISIS is losing.”
“Isil launches Syria assault, achieving biggest advance along Turkish border for two years,” by Louisa Loveluck, Telegraph, May 29, 2016:
Thousands of civilians fled an Isil offensive on Sunday as the terrorist movement achieved its most significant advance along the Turkish border for two years.
The three-pronged attack threatened to overrun the last swathe of territory in eastern Aleppo province held by non-jihadist rebels. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group, said at least 6,000 people had sought safety in Kurdish-controlled territory to the west.
Others joined the burgeoning number of civilians camped along the Syrian side of Turkey’s now closed border. As many as 165,000 displaced people may now be scattered in fields and informal settlements along the frontier, as well as in the nearby town of Azaz.
Although Turkey says it has an open-door policy for Syrians fleeing war, the border remains closed to all but the most severely injured, and Turkish police have shot refugees trying to cross illegally.
In clearing rebel forces from Azaz and the nearby town of Marea, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) would strengthen its hold on a stretch of land along the Turkish border. Control of the area would allow the terrorists to threaten the Bab al-Salama border crossing, the strip of territory where thousands of civilians are now concentrated – and thousands more are expected to flee in the coming days.
Isil appears to be using its new territory to re-start its war against the Turkish state. After a two week lull, Isil launched fired more projectiles at Kilis, a Turkish border town where refugees and local residents now live in fear of the group’s rockets.
Marea has long been a bastion of relatively moderate rebel forces fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad. During almost six years of war, the town has survived regime tank and air assaults and the effects of Isil’s chemical weapons.
But the terrorists finally entered the town on Friday, surrounding its hospital for ten hours before being pushed back. “We are very scared inside this hospital. We know Isil is coming back,” said one member of the medical staff, asking for his name to be withheld. Hours later, Isil gunmen did return – and the fighting continued as night fell….”
www.jihadwatch.org
Pray that the coalition forces would be given wisdom and resolve to overcome ISIS and put them to flight. Pray that they will be thrown into confusion, disunity and give up their jihadist ambitions and that their defeat will cause other radical Islamic groups to lose heart around the world. May many of these wrong-headed, deceived jihadists come to know Jesus Christ and turn 180 degrees around to become mighty missionaries for Him!

“On a dreary, cloud-covered day in Serbia the sorrow of the refugee crisis was personified in three women who stood together, telling their stories with tear-streaked faces and children who silently clung to their legs. The women wept from exhaustion, frustration, and a crushing fear as others looked on and walked past without a word. Why do we not weep in the face of such sorrow? How can we turn our backs on these stories? Sometimes the best way to love someone is to stand by and weep with them?
“When does this stop being a refugee issue and start becoming a human issue?” -A volunteer with CYCI (a group working to find and aid Yazidi Christian refugees)
“Jesus wept.” -John 11:35
PRAYER POINTS
Pray for empathy and action to well up in the church worldwide. Pray for those on the frontline caring for people -- that they would stay strong. Pray for our hearts to continue to be soft to Jesus and His heart for refugees.
A CHORUS OF VOICES The same words, phrases, and sentiments are being spoken throughout Europe’s refugee route in a chorus of voices. Will we listen? THE NEED: “We are in need. We want peace and a hope and a future.”-Syrian refugee THE URGENCY: “The time is now. God is sending all these people into Europe and the Church must respond.” -Macedonian pastor THE OPPORTUNITY: “We are shocked. Muslim people are asking us about Jesus and how to know Him. They are asking for Bibles and for prayer.” -Christian aid worker in Greece THE RESPONSE: “We need people to come, serve, listen and care and give out of whatever they can do. We desperately need Arabic speaking Christians to come help us.” -Missionary in Germany
“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
~Luke 10:2
Pray for God’s glory to be known among refugees throughout Europe and beyond. Pray for breakthrough in “stuck” areas – the processing of people, this humanitarian response. Cry out for the entire generation of children growing up without education. Pray for Christian leaders in domains of society to make a difference through policy, management, and practical care.
God is stirring hearts with the hunger to know Him in this one of the most unreached nations in the world. Thanks for praying for the Cappadocia United Prayer Movement event, May 18-21. It was a wonderful time for local Turkish believers along with expatriates working in the country and intercessors from outside Turkey to pray for His breakthrough together. Here is a report from the organizers with some follow-on prayer concerns:
- We thank God that we could see His powerful work moving in His people in Turkey through the 2016 Turkey Outreach and Cappadocia United Prayer Movement
- We thank God that over 500 intercessors gathered together to unite in prayer for the spiritual breakthrough and great revival of the Turkish Church.
- We thank God that all the participants of English Camp, including teachers, children, youths, and their parents, experienced God’s grace during the Cappadocia United Prayer Movement.
For Our United Prayer for the King’s Return
That the Gospel would be proclaimed to the ends of the earth and all nations and all peoples would return to the Lord through our united prayers

That many Christian leaders in a variety of social realms such as politics, justice, and religion will be prepared for an upcoming great spiritual revival, in which they will carry out and deliver God's glory to the next generation
For Church Planting in All 81 Provinces of Turkey

- Pray that Salih, who received gospel through David Byle in prison, will continue to grow in his faith and live as God’s messenger in prison, and that God would make David Byle’s court cases known to Turkish Embassies, Consulates and to sympathetic politicians who are interested in protecting religious freedom
- Pray that Radio Shema in Ankara would be protected by God’s supernatural hands, and Christian workers at Radio Shema would be strengthened in their faith and hope, to keep up the hard work of spreading the gospel in the Black Sea region
- God’s truth and glory are revealed in Turkey, the Turkic window, and the Islamic world so that they may see spiritual restoration and revival
- Help Muslims in Turkey and the Middle East open their hearts toward the gospel, and may their hearts become good soil to produce good crops
