A Call to

21 Days of Prayer & fasting

Monday, January 6 - Sunday, January 26

Dear Leeward Community Church Family,

As we prepare to step into the year 2025, we stand at a pivotal moment in our shared journey of faith. Since the Decade of Harvest began in 2018, God has moved powerfully among us, and now, as we enter the eighth year of this vision, I believe He is calling us deeper still. Together with the Elders, I feel led to issue a heartfelt call to prayer—a call to lean into God’s Kingdom purposes like never before.

For over 130 years, The Alliance has witnessed God raise up men and women to take faith-filled risks for His glory. At the heart of every movement of God is fervent prayer. With this in mind, we are inviting the entire church to join us in building a culture of prayer through 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting.

The Word of God reminds us in 2 Chronicles 7:14:
“…if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

These 21 days, from Mon, January 6 to Sun, January 26, are a time to seek God wholeheartedly. Whether you’re in need of healing, yearning for a breakthrough, seeking direction, or simply desiring to draw closer to the Lord, this is an opportunity to align our hearts with His for our Nations and Neighborhoods.

As Ephesians 3:20 proclaims:
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us…”
