I Believe It
Is it true today that when people pray
Cloudless skies will break
Kings and queens will shake
Is it true today that when people pray
We'll see dead men rise
And the blind set free
It's true today that when people stand
With the fire of God, and the truth in hand
We'll see miracles, we'll see angels sing
We'll see broken hearts making history
- Excerpts from "History Maker" by Delirious
With these lyrics in mind, a group of Toronto pastors embark to have 60,000 people from across Toronto come together to pray for this city on the Global Day of Prayer, June 4th, 2006. Last year, Toronto had 150 people. God's going to change that.
What's happening today in Toronto is bigger than just me.
It's bigger than any one church.
It's bigger than any one neighbourhood.
This is Toronto wide and even bigger.
God is moving across this nation, our nation.
If you haven't heard about it yet you will.
I've been dormant since I've come back to Toronto but lately, I've been stirred and excited again about Toronto. God's people have seen enough hurt in our city and in our country. It's time to get on our knees and start praying.
To those of you in school and ACF, with the school year coming to a close, don't waste the summer middling in trivial things. Open your eyes to what God is doing, you have the opportunity to be part of something bigger than ACF and bigger than Western this coming summer, don't let that go to waste!!!

Here's how the Global day of Prayer started....
Arising from AfricaIn 2001, one stadium in Cape Town, South Africa was filled with 45,000 people to pray. In 2002, it expanded to eight stadiums and 350,000. A year later 2.5 million gathered in 130 stadiums. On May 2, 2004, the movement exploded to nearly ten times the size. More than 22 million rallied in prayer at more than 2,000 sites throughout every single country on the continent of Africa (56 nations). Leaders from most major traditions of Christian faith called their people to join in this historic act of united prayer.
On May 15, 2005 more than 200 million Christians in 156 nations united in a day of repentance and prayer for the world. Christians came together in large stadiums, open fields, market squares, churches and other public venues to pray. It was broadcast by hundreds of radio and TV stations around the world. Many prayer networks, Christian organizations and prayer leaders support this initiative.
Christians all over the world are invited to take hands in a Global Day of Prayer. This initiative will continue for the next five years, until 2010. Every year on Pentecost Sunday there will be a Global Day of Prayer.
The two key verses that are guiding our planning around the Global Day of Prayer, are 2 Chron.7:14:
"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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land"
and Hab.2:14:
"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."
