In addition to our existing themes, here are some specific prayer requests for October 2021.
The Holy Spirit has been leading us to “pray for the activists“. This is those who are called into some kind of activity to bless the people of the city. The Holy Spirit has stirred up some new initiatives over the last year or so, but there are also people serving faithfully in initiatives that are 10, 20 and 30 years old. We are to hold them up as they actively serve.
The Holy Spirit has also given as a question to draw us into His purposes. “What is the prayer that leads to revival?” As we pray this month, sit with this question, ask the Lord about it. See how it speaks into your personal life, and into your church and into the whole body of Christ in Southampton.

- For us as we approach church leaders to share the vision and invite them to be involved.
- For churches to host the prayer gathering in November and December.
- For news of these gatherings to spread.
- For the gatherings to encourage and equip us to pray more.
- For church leaders to endorse and attend the gatherings.
- For involvement from across a wide range of churches.
