Launching of the Prayer at Home Movement

I’m sure like me, you all have been listening to the leaders of different nations of the world talking about the different steps being taken to prevent the spread of COVID 19. And yesterday night we watched the Indian Prime Minister explaining how serious this pandemic can become and urging all the citizens of India to remain at home for the next 21 days.

In light of this call by our Prime Minster and the many leaders of our nations, let us commit ourselves to not only only to stay at home, but also to pray at home. As you all know, we are in the season of Great Lent – the time for renewed prayer and fasting.

But I would request that all believers, whether part of Believers Eastern Church, or part of the larger body of Christ around the world, take the next 21 days to strengthen prayer at our homes. I have received so many reports of round the clock prayers taking place in our churches and I am glad for that. But we need to pray more.

I would like to encourage each and every family, to come together and pray everyday. Set up a prayer corner or sacred space to pray, wherever you are staying. Set apart a specific time each day, say 6 pm to 6:30 pm to pray. Pray specifically and pray together. Believe that as we repent and seek God’s face, He will show mercy to us and the whole world.

May God’s mercy be with you all.

Moran Mor Athanasius Yohan I Metropolitan
