Dr. Bob Bakke: The Prayer Heard 'Round the World

GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER STARTED IN AFRICA
In July 2000 and in Febuary 2002 God gave two visions to Graham Power, a successful businessman and relatively new convert that Africa will become the "Light to the World." Over the years since those visions, an annual prayer event has exploded across Africa through Transformation Africa. In 2001, one stadium in Cape Town, South Africa was filled with 45,000 praying people. The next year it expanded to eight stadiums and 350,000 people. In 2003, 2.5 million gathered in 130 stadiums. On May 2, 2004, the movement exploded to ten times that many when 22 million rallied in prayer at more than 2,000 sites throughout the 56 nations of Africa. This year the African leaders have invited Christians around the world to pray with them in the first ever Global Day of Prayer. Click here for the rest of the story.
