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.

Today's Prayer Points
WEEK 21: STEPPING INTO OUR APOSTOLIC MANDATE – A NATION SENT
Day 135 (13 October 2026)
Theme: Empowered By The Holy Spirit.
Action item 1: Pray for the Church in South Africa to be Freshly Empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Zechariah 4:6 “So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
Ephesians 3:16-20 “that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,”
- Father, we repent for trying to do Your work in our own strength. We acknowledge that it is not by our might or power, but by Your Spirit. Pour out Your Holy Spirit afresh on Your Church, so that we receive power to be witnesses to Jesus in our homes, workplaces and cities, and to the ends of the earth. Strengthen our inner person, that by faith, we stay rooted and grounded in Your love; able to comprehend the depths of Your love for Your saints. Fill us with the fullness of God that we are able to trust You to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Fill us afresh with Your presence, power and wisdom. Do in us and through us what we cannot do alone. We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Action item 2: Pray for Spirit-Empowered Courage to Witness and Obey.
Acts 4:29-31 “Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” 31And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
2 Timothy 1:7-8 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 8Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,”
Micah 3:8 “But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, and of justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.”
- Father, we repent for the times we stayed silent out of ignorance, fear or unbelief. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. Fill us afresh with Your Holy Spirit. Strengthen our testimony that we may overcome the devil by standing firm in the face of the threats against us. As we go in obedience to Your Word, give us boldness to speak, heal the sick, and do signs and wonders in the name of Christ Jesus. Fill us with the power, justice and strength of Your Spirit. Let us boldly proclaim Christ as we stand for truth, live right and confront injustice, even in the face of suffering. We are living in a generation where the harvest is ready, but the labourers are few. Holy Spirit, send Your people. Make us powerful, unashamed witnesses. Shake the ground as Your people assemble. Fill Your people with the Holy Spirit. Give them boldness to proclaim Your goodness to a struggling world. We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Action item 3: Pray for the Power of the Holy Spirit to Produce Transformative Kingdom Witness.
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”
Galatians 5:22-25 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”
Romans 15:18-19 “For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient 19in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.”
- Father, we repent for the times we did things in the flesh and resisted the leading of Your Spirit in us. As we choose to lay down selfish desires, bring forth Godly fruit in us. As we learn to live by the Spirit, teach us to walk in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. As our lives align with Your Word, establishing a credible witness as we lay down human wisdom, trusting in the power of God. Let our words be Spirit-led and full of power. May signs and wonders follow by the power of the Spirit of God. As we walk in obedience to Your call, enlarge our borders beyond our homes, workplaces, communities and the borders of South Africa to the nations to fulfil the Great Commission. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
