18 Hours of Worship & A Critical Time for America

September 2024 Ministry Newsletter

Sep 30, 2024

Partners and Friends,

At the end of last month, we hosted 18 hours of non-stop worship and prayer here in eastern North Carolina, with volunteers from over 20 churches from across the region. Check out the photos below! This was the first event we have organized on our own in about 3-4 years, and it was so amazing to see so many people of all ages, generations, and ethnicities encountering the presence of the Lord together. Our next event, Back to Eden, is happening at the end of October. Scroll down for details.

As we’re continuing to foster worship & prayer here in east NC, we’re also burdened to pray for America in this season. I recently published an article with PPM on Five Ways to Pray for the Upcoming Elections in America. The nations just organized a Global Day of Prayer for America. I also spent this past weekend in Washington DC with other prayer leaders discerning how God is leading us to to organize in the coming years. It’s a critical time. Now more than ever, we need to be mobilizing, uniting and building towards day and night worship and prayer. That’s what Presence Pioneers is all about.

Thank you for your prayers and support!
Matthew Lilley

P.S. Presence Pioneers has hit a tight spot financially. If you’ve ever considered sowing into our ministry work with a special gift, now would be a very helpful time to do so. As always, you can give at fundprayer.com.

Our next event is Back to Eden, a Christian homesteading festival at the end of October that my wife Shepard has been organizing. We’re going to include six hours of worship on that Friday and Saturday and an opening worship night on Thursday.
