365 Day Prayer Shield Over South Africa
What if the Church prayed without ceasing — not for a season, but for a whole year?
We are inviting every believer, every church, and every prayer network to join us in placing a 365-day prayer shield over our nation. One hour at a time. One heart at a time. Together.
When every slot is filled, South Africa will be covered in 24/7 unbroken intercession — crying out for healing, for breakthrough, and for God’s hand to move powerfully across our land.
How it works: Book one or more hourly prayer slots across the full year. When all slots are filled, we achieve continuous, unbroken prayer coverage over the nation. Daily prayer points will be available below the calendar to guide your time with God.
This is your invitation.
This is our moment.
Will you take your place on the wall?
How to Book Your Slots
Our goal is to turn the whole calendar Green so our nation is covered with Prayer, 24/7! If you see a Red or Yellow day or hour slot, that is a great place to start.
Tip: You can select multiple hours across all the months before clicking confirm. Once confirmed, you can download your slots to sync with your mobile calendar.

Today's Prayer Points
WEEK 20: STEPPING INTO OUR APOSTOLIC MANDATE – A NATION SENT
Day 140 (18 October 2026)
Theme: Until Christ Is Glorified
Action item 1: Pray for Christ to have Preeminence in all that we Build and Steward.
Colossians 1:16-18 “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.”
Ephesians 1:20-23 “which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”
1 Corinthians 3:11 “For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
- Father, everything was created through Jesus and for Him. We repent for the times we built and managed things for ourselves, and not for Him. Lord Jesus, You are before all things, and in You all things hold together. You are the head of the Church, and You are first in everything. Let nothing in our lives or in our nation take Your place. You raised Christ from the dead and seated Him far above every power, authority and name. You put all things under His feet. Keep Him as the head over everything in the Church and in every sphere of society. Jesus Christ is the only foundation. Let Him be the foundation, the centre, the authority and the purpose of everything You have entrusted to us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Action item 2: Pray for South Africa’s Assignment to Reveal Christ rather than Exalt the Nation.
Psalm 67:1-2 “God be merciful to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, Selah. 2That Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations.”
Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
1 Corinthians 10:31 “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
- Father, You have shown South Africa mercy and made Your face shine on us. We repent for the times we were proud, as if we had earned it. Let us never forget that every blessing, influence, opportunity, resource, relationship and platform has come from Your favour. May it all serve Your purposes, so that Your way is known on earth and Your salvation among all nations. Let Your light shine through us, so that people see our good works and glorify You, Father. Therefore, whatever we eat or drink, or whatever we do, may we do it all for the glory of God. We pray in Jesus name. Amen.
Action item 3: Pray for Generational Faithfulness until the Knowledge of Christ Fills the Earth.
Habakkuk 2:14 “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”
Philippians 2:9-11 “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Psalm 145:4-7 “One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts. 5I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. 6Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. 7They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness.”
- Father, we repent for the times we grew tired, distracted or did not pass on the mission You gave us. Let the mandate we have embraced in this generation continue through every generation after us, until Christ is known, worshipped and glorified among the nations. Lord, You have promised that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Your glory, as the waters cover the sea. Let us be faithful until we see it. You have given Jesus the name above every name. Let every knee bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father as one generation praise Your works to another and declare Your mighty acts. May our children sing of Your greatness and righteousness. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
