In June 2022 World Prayer Centre, working with Watchmen for the Nations, hosted a zoom call ‘Healing the Commonwealth‘ which began to link leaders in prayer together from Commonwealth nations across each continent. This was followed by an in person and on zoom gathering in Birmingham ‘Blessing the Commonwealth‘ in July 2022 and the idea to foster a Commonwealth Family of Nations group was born and a core team was set up to progress this further.
We recognise that God’s purpose for the Commonwealth has not yet been fully realised and that we want to dream together and release blessing to each nation. We are realising that there are different strands to our connecting: some may relate to the past and ongoing repentance issues; some may relate to the present and building deep relationships and others more concerned with the future purposes God has in mind.
Since 2022 the core team has hosted zoom calls twice or three times a year, connecting with different leaders across some of the Commonwealth nations. We have been able to support in prayer a number of significant events for example the fledgling annual Commonwealth Prayer Breakfast, the Commonwealth Heads of Government meetings and the celebrations that mark Commonwealth Day each year.
We are still on a journey to identify leaders in the other Commonwealth nations and territories that we have not yet connected with so we can worship, pray and seek God together on zoom calls.
If you can help us in our connecting do please let us know. Email Jane Holloway on pr****@*************rg.uk
