Aldersgate Methodist Church
Synchronised Prayer at 9pm
Synchronised Prayer allows our AMC family to pray in union with one another virtually
wherever we may be, at a fixed time! God will hear and respond to the faith of any one of His
followers who call upon Him, but even more so whenever multiple believers combine and unify
their faith and prayers.
Wherever we are, let us pause at 9pm from 29 March 2020 to pray in one accord and in
oneness of spirit for God to eradicate the COVID—19.
2 Chronicles 7:13-15 New International Version (NIV)
“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will
humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will
hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be
open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
Let us turn our fears and worries to intercession.
