The next Global Day of Prayer will take place on May 27th. People from around the world from many different countries will participate. The event began in 2000 in South Africa. The website describes the event:
IMAGINE the emerging generation from all the nations of the globe praying on the high places on 27 May 2007, the Global Day of Prayer . . . Yes, can you imagine the effect when on this day people from 220 nations of the globe fill stadiums, community centres, city squares, churches and all kinds of buildings?
The growing movement is hoping to unite all “Christian traditions” as this excerpt from an article in London UK explains:
Britain’s [sic] is home to a wide range of Christian traditions, each of them have something to offer and we all have something to learn from each other. The exciting thing about the Global Day of Prayer is that it will bring together Christians from different ethnicities and different expressions of the Christian faith to pray for unity, London and the World.
To describe more of the vision of the Global Day of Prayer, we need only look to the organization’s youth program. In that section of the GDOP website, there are instructions on how to “mobilize young people far and wide.” Unfortunately, this includes Pete Greig’s Red Moon Rising book and the 24/7 Boiler Rooms. While Greig’s book and ministry may, at first glance, appear to be a movement of prayer, research shows that both the book and the movement are heavily influenced by contemplative spirituality, Catholicism, and New Age thought. And while youth around the world are taking shifts (to pray) in Greig’s boiler rooms (prayer rooms), they may be getting into something entirely different than biblical prayer. Please see links below to some of our previous articles about 24/7 prayer rooms and Red Moon Rising. We think you will find what we say to be true, and if this is the case, the Global Day of Prayer is going to be a conduit for interspirituality through mystical meditation, and the results will be disastrous for millions.
Right now, 24/7 prayer rooms are being added all over the world, and each year more countries are joining the Global Day of Prayer. With the strong emphasis on meditation in both the prayer rooms and the global prayer event, we believe this warning is warranted and vital.
