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?

The Sound of Peace 

4 Nights of Unbroken Praise & Worship over SA

We are encouraging churches all across South Africa to take part in hosting a worship and prayer service or multiple if you can in your town. Together we can make a difference and push back the devil’s agenda for our beautiful country. So let’s unite with one heart, one spirit, one voice and one sound, The Sound of Peace. 

We are starting on the 26th of June 2026 until the 29th of June 2026 so we can shift the spiritual atmosphere of what was planned on the 30th of June 2026.

WEEK 4: RESTORATION OF RIGHTEOUS GOVERNANCE

Day 26: (26 June 2026) 

Accountability and transparency in governance: Praying for exposure of hidden dealings and the establishment of accountability structures that cannot be compromised.

Action item 1: Pray for the exposure of corruption, fraud, bribery, abuse of power, and hidden agreements that undermine justice and public trust.

Ephesians 5:11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness but instead expose them.”

  • Father, expose every act of corruption, fraud, bribery, abuse of power, and secret agreement that undermines justice, steals from the people, and damages public trust. Bring everything hidden in darkness into the light. In the name of Jesus, we pray. As Luke 8:17 says “For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.”

Proverbs 11:3 “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.”

  • Father, we pray that every corrupt scheme and hidden thing be uncovered and brought to justice. Lord, frustrate every scheme that seeks to enrich individuals at the expense of the nation and its people. Let every corrupt network be uncovered and dismantled. Break all selfishness and greed in the hearts of our leaders in Jesus’ name. Psalm 33:10 says that “The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the purposes of the peoples.”

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord Your God is with you wherever you go.”

  • Father, raise up courageous men and women who will stand for truth, expose wrongdoing, and champion justice despite opposition or personal risk. Lord raise up Your Josephs, Daniels and the three Hebrew boys that will stand with courage and integrity in Jesus’ name. We pray according to Proverbs 31:8 “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed.”, we pray in the name of Jesus’.

Action item 2: Intercede for strong accountability mechanisms within government institutions, ensuring that leaders and officials are answerable for their actions and decisions

Romans 14:12 “So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.”

  • Father, establish strong systems of accountability within government institutions so that leaders and officials are held responsible for their actions, decisions, and stewardship of public resources. Give them wisdom and prudency to create systems by Your wisdom in Jesus’ name. Raise good stewards that will be responsible for the country according to Psalm 33:5 “The Lord loves righteousness and justice”. We pray this in Jesus’ name.

Isaiah 1:17 “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.”

  • Lord, strengthen oversight bodies, auditors, investigators, and ethics committees so that they may function effectively, impartially, and without fear or compromise. We break every spirit that wants to create rebellion and all rouge elements in the government in Jesus’ name. We pray for transparency and submission to leaders in authority in Jesus’ name.

Proverbs 10:9 “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.”

  • Father, remove complacency, negligence, and cover-ups from public institutions. Let honesty, responsibility, and accountability become the standard in governance. As the scripture says: “An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.” Proverbs 24:26. We pray for a wave of honesty to flow through our nation in Jesus’ name.

Action item 3: Pray for a culture of transparency, ethical leadership, and faithful stewardship of public resources across every sphere of governance.

Proverbs 12:22 “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.”

  • Father, we are asking for honest leaders that carry Your heart. Let transparency and honesty prevail amongst the leaders of our country. Lord, establish a culture of transparency and truth throughout every level of government. Let honesty replace secrecy and integrity replace deception. Your word declares in John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”. We pray in the name of Jesus.

Mark 10:43 “But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant.”

  • Father, raise up ethical leaders who govern with integrity, humility, and a sincere desire to serve the people rather than themselves. Break all selfishness and pride and Lord create an atmosphere of hope in our country. We pray that the atmosphere be shifted over our country in Jesus’ name. Proverbs 29:2 declares “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.” We pray in the name of Jesus.

1 Corinthians 4:2 “Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.”

  • Lord, teach leaders and public servants to be faithful stewards of the resources entrusted to them. May public funds and assets be managed wisely for the benefit of all citizens. We pray for wisdom to work with our finances, and we pray for a leader that is competent with the skill to work with our finances. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

Father, we declare that corruption, fraud, bribery, and abuse of power will be exposed and dismantled throughout South Africa. We pray for strong accountability in government, ethical leadership in every sphere of influence, and faithful stewardship of public resources. Let transparency replace secrecy, integrity replace corruption, and righteousness guide every decision made on behalf of the people. May justice prevail, truth flourish, and our nation be established on the foundations of righteousness and accountability. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
