NEW HOPE BREAKTHROUGH PRAYER

Tearing Down Walls Through Prayer: Making Room for More

September 18–25, 2026

"For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds." — 2 Corinthians 10:4 (ESV)

OUR PRAYER JOURNEY

Our Jerusalem — Our church, families, and local community

Our Samaria — Those beyond our immediate circle

The Ends of the Earth — Our nation, denomination, missionaries, pastors, and the nations

We believe there are walls that only prayer can bring down and that there is power when God's people pray together.

Reach Wide. Grow Deep. Unleash Compassion.

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.
