Greater London Prayer Wall

1992 The Leaders Prayer Fortress was started. Pastors Amos and

Grace Komolafe were praying for every leader they knew and

encouraging others to do the same. The spiritual atmosphere was

hard. There was much labour by church leaders but little harvest

amongst the churches here. They felt called to mobilise prayer for

leaders and changed the name to The Prayer Trust’

1998 they came out from pastoring the church and into full time

mobilising prayer for London. The Greater London Prayer Wall'was

started.

1999 – The first Conference. Many came and joined the mailing list.

We had about 500 at that time. That year London was divided

into a North wall and a South Wall. Intercessors each prayed for

one hour a week and were joined in a phone link. The vision

was for intercessors praying 24 hours,7 days a week.

2002 The Walls split into London boroughs.

Now a co-ordinator was needed for each borough. The vision

was for each borough to have its own intercessors praying for

the researched needs of their borough. Now we have co-ordinators

for most boroughs and intercessors are still joining the Wall.

We have intercessors from as far apart as Birmingham

and Hastings,Berkshire and Kent.These out of London intercessors

pray for the government,and the boroughs of Westminster and

City and the business,financial dealingsthere. Pastor Grace is

invited out to other counties to encourage prayer walls and their

intercessors in those places.

2003 Our vision this year is to cover every local church and

leader in every borough in prayer, that there may be a breakthrough

in the Body of Christ.

2002 - New Wall Structure
The reasons for this change

*	many intercessors who share the burden of prayer for their community were not able to commit to the weekly prayer chain
*	The situation of many who were once committed to the prayer chain had changed.
*	For London to be well covered with our prayers, we needed to target the need of individual boroughs.
*	The borough by borough prayer Wall will encourage more interest and participation of other Christians who have the same burden to pray for their community.
*	As strongholds come down in their community as result of their corporate prayers,intercessors will see and enjoy intimately together the faithfulness of God.
*	Because they live in the same borough, caring the same burden in prayer, it will be easy to build personal relationship and support each other.
*	Those who are experienced in the work of intercession will be able to help the young and inexperienced as they pray with and for one another in their borough.

The How of this new structure

Intercessors were listed by their borough. An initial meeting

would be called. During this meeting someone would be chosen

to coordinate the prayer wall in the borough.

The intercessors agreed on what structure they want to use for

praying for their borough.

Examples:-

*	Still link up by phone on an hourly basis.
*	Chose to pass on the baton of prayer on a daily basis by phone i.e. someone covers each day Monday to Friday.
*	Meet periodically in someone’s house, weekly, or monthly.
*	Make a group of four whereby each group shall meet to pray once every month.
