Pentecost Sunday saw 11,000 Christians worshipping, praying, repenting and celebrating in the sweltering heat of Millwall Stadium.

Linked to the world-wide Global Day of Prayer which this year saw co-ordinated events in 211 countries and 60 other areas of the UK, the event included worship from well-known worship leaders, prayer for issues such as gun crime, HIV/Aids, world trouble spots and climate change and an interview with new London Mayor, Boris Johnson, who shared his vision of how churches could work with him in stamping out gun and street crime.

In recognition of Global Day of Prayer’s increasing importance in the life of the Church and capital, Premier Gordon Brown held a Reception ‘In Honour of the Global Day of Prayer’ at No10 Downing Street on May 7 when he commended the initiative and the ’invaluable work of the churches in London’.

Information on Global Day of Prayer London’s launch for 2009 and Pentecost 2009 event will be available later in the year. In the meantime please consider supporting the vision of Global Day of Prayer London financially via this website
