PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
Austin Awake! Prayer Workshops Day success
Nine persons from the Austin GMC Prayer team joined with 150 prayer leaders and intercessors from across the greater Austin area on June 28. General sessions highlighted the revival that Austin region is experiencing. Breakout topics included scripture-fed prayer, listening prayer, spiritual warfare, dreams and interpretations, contending for your family, and praying for land and a city. It was a great time to unite, declaring God has a purpose, plan and destiny for Austin,
that what happens here changes the world, and to pray “Father, Give Us Austin!”
Declarations for Austin
Join the movement, praying in unity, speaking these declarations aloud over Austin. Incorporate them into your prayer time, as the Spirit leads.
