Prayer

At COLOUR, we presented a number of key areas where we as a Sisterhood are seeking to bring solution. Please continue to keep these initiatives in your hearts and prayers as we seek to respond to the cries of humanity.

We are believing that each woman who has committed to pray will pray every day. Find a time that works for you – whether it is driving home from taking the kids to school, brushing your teeth, making the lunches for the next day, hanging out the washing, walking to work – find a time that you can commit to prayer and make it a regular habit.

I know that as we align our hearts together as a powerful force of concerned women and as we agree and proclaim His will, His Word and His heart over these needs, we will see justice prevail and spiritual breakthrough.

We will communicate with you on a regular basis, letting you know the greatest needs as they come to hand to ensure that you are able to see how God is moving, and more specifically, how you can wage war in the heavenlies. If you would like further information on any of the below initiatives, please contact us:

ANSWERS TO PRAYER…

Our amazing testimony at COLOUR 08 was due to the power of prayer and our incredible God. We truly believe that it was the power of thousands of prayers over a 40 day period that wrought incredible change in northern Uganda and a ceasefire to being negotiated. We believe that if we can mobilise an army of praying women, we can literally change nations and see the kingdom of God come on earth.
