NightOfPrayerNight of Prayer Reaches Around the Globe
Bishop Sam N. Clements, General Overseer of Church of God of Prophecy, leads the global prayer service.
Prayer was the priority as thousands of viewers from around the globe tuned in to the second annual Night of Prayer live simulcast being broadcast from the Church of God of Prophecy International Offices. The two-hour event, translated into Spanish and French, drew more than 300 requests, which were prayed over by church leaders and live operators.

Among the more than 1,500 live connections, which could represent tens of thousands in locations where members gathered to watch together, were viewers from China, Japan, Russia, South Africa, Poland, Peru, Brazil, Bulgaria, Egypt, Morocco, Australia, South Korea, Kenya, and many others, representing a total of more than 60 different countries. The webcast is also available on demand at www.cogop.org and within hours of the end of the live broadcast, more than 1,100 more viewers had tuned in.

"It is amazing that we can connect with our church family to pray over the same needs at the same time," said Bishop Sam N. Clements, General Overseer. "This incredible connection point we have with our church family perfectly illustrates our 21 Days of Prayer theme, 'United In Prayer'."

Through the evening, Bishop Clements, along with General Presbyters and International Offices leaders, led the participants in various prayer points relating to the "core values" of the Church of God of Prophecy, including leadership development, the harvest and stewardship, as well as prayer for local churches, pastoral families, and needs that were sent in during the night.

"I believe we will see mighty results from this time of prayer," Bishop Clements said.

"United Through Prayer" tied into the theme for the Church's International Assembly, "United," taking place July 13-17, 2016, at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida.

During the prayer simulcast, a pre-Assembly simulcast was announced that will be held at 7 pm EST on Pentecost Sunday, May 15, 2016. Along with the online viewers, the public will be invited to the worship service, which will be held at the new Ministry Training Center at the International Offices in Cleveland, Tennessee. More details will be announced at www.cogop.org .

We will not retreat till it is redeemed."
RisenIn U.S. Movie Theaters in February: RISEN
RISEN is the epic Biblical story of the Resurrection and the weeks that followed, as seen through the eyes of an unbelieving Clavius (Joseph Fiennes), a high-ranking Roman Military Tribune. Clavius and his aide Lucius (Tom Felton) are instructed by Pontius Pilate to oversee the execution of Jesus of Nazareth, and to ensure his radical followers don't steal the body and claim resurrection. Despite the tomb's protection by Roman guards, the body goes missing within days. Clavius is charged to locate the missing body in order to prevent an imminent uprising in Jerusalem.

 Only by finding the remains of Jesus can they disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah, allowing Rome to retain control of Judea. However, along Clavius' mission, his doubts of such a supernatural occurrence begin to fade away as he encounters the Apostles and other followers while piecing together the mysterious events that unfolded after the Crucifixion. Here's what some pastors have said about RISEN:

"RISEN is a movie that you can bring someone to who's not a follower of Jesus. It has the potential to impact one's life in a very significant spiritual way." Craig Groeschel, founder and senior pastor, LIFE.CHURCH

"RISEN is a must see for pastors and their congregations!" Johnny Hunt, First Baptist Church of Woodstock, GA

2015 Highlights of the Lamb's Agenda
by Rev. Samuel Rodriguez 
 Prayer & Evangelism

"If I fail to spend two hours in prayer each morning, the devil gets the victory through the day. I have so much business I cannot get on without spending three hours daily in prayer." Martin Luther

"We need a baptism of clear seeing. We desperately need seers who can see through the mist--Christian leaders with prophetic vision. Unless they come soon it will be too late for this generation. And if they do come we will no doubt crucify a few of them in the name of our worldly orthodoxy." A.W. Tozer
