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?

Today's Prayer Points
WEEK 13: THE CHURCH AS SALT AND LIGHT
Day 91 (30 August 2026)
Theme: Shaping Culture through Righteousness
Praying for the Church to recognise her responsibility to influence the values, beliefs, attitudes, behaviours, and practices that shape South African culture. Praying that the presence of God’s people will cause truth, righteousness, justice, compassion, dignity, excellence, and godly wisdom to become increasingly visible within society. Asking God to raise believers who will intentionally cultivate Kingdom culture wherever they are positioned, rather than allowing the surrounding culture to determine their values and worldview.
Action item 1: Pray for the Church to understand her cultural responsibility.
Matthew 5:13–16 (KJV) “13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.”
Romans 12:2 (KJV) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Deuteronomy 6:6–9 (KJV) 6 “And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates”.
- Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, awaken Your Church to the responsibility You have entrusted to us as a people who influence the culture around us. Deliver us from passively absorbing the values of the society in which we live. Teach us to discern what is contrary to Your Word and to intentionally establish what is true, righteous, just, compassionate, and honourable. Give Your Church a renewed understanding that culture is shaped through what we teach, model, celebrate, create, communicate, and pass on to the next generation. Raise believers who will carry Kingdom values into every environment in which they are placed. May we become intentional cultivators of righteousness rather than passive consumers of culture.,
Action item 2: Pray for Kingdom values to shape the public life of South Africa.
Philippians 4:8 (KJV) “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.”
Micah 6:8 (KJV) “He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”
Proverbs 14:34 (KJV) “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin [is] a reproach to any people.”
- Father, establish righteous values within the public life of South Africa. Where dishonesty has become acceptable, restore a love for truth. Where corruption has been normalised, restore integrity. Where violence and hatred have shaped relationships, establish peace and reconciliation. Where human dignity has been diminished, restore honour and compassion. Let the values of Your Kingdom become visible in the way people conduct business, exercise leadership, communicate, resolve conflict, treat one another, and serve their communities. Raise a generation that values what You value. Let truth be honoured, justice pursued, integrity respected, compassion demonstrated, excellence cultivated, and responsibility embraced. May righteousness increasingly become part of the moral fabric of our nation. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray.
Action item 3: Pray for the Church to cultivate Kingdom culture through example.
1 Corinthians 11:1 (KJV) “Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ.”
Titus 2:7–8 (KJV) “7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.”
Matthew 5:16 (KJV) “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
- Father, in Jesus Christ’s name, make Your Church a living demonstration of the culture of Your Kingdom. Let our lives preach what our mouths proclaim. May our homes model love and honour, our churches model unity and service, our workplaces model integrity and excellence, and our communities model compassion, justice, and responsibility. Raise mature believers whose lives can be followed and whose example can be reproduced. Let parents disciple children, leaders disciple those entrusted to them, and mature believers intentionally raise others who will carry Kingdom values into the next generation. May the Church not merely speak about transformation, but embody it. Let people encounter a different way of living when they encounter Your people—a culture marked by truth, holiness, love, justice, humility, service, and hope. And may that Kingdom culture spread from person to person, family to family, congregation to community, until the influence of Your people becomes a blessing throughout South Africa.
