The Global Day of Prayer is a call to Christians to unite in a day of  repentance and united prayer. On Pentecost Sunday 23 May 2010, Christians across the world will respond to the invitation of 2 Chronicles 7:14 to humble ourselves, pray, seek His face and turn from our wicked ways in order that He may fulfil His promise to hear our prayers, forgive our sin and heal our lands.

The Australian Prayer Network is coordinating prayer across Australia for this Global event. Preparation for the Global Day of Prayer begins on Ascension Day, 13th May. That is when Christians across the world will begin 10 days of prayer leading to Pentecost. On Pentecost Sunday 23rd May 2010, Christians in almost every country of the world will assemble to pray, many in small groups in homes, some in Churches, outdoor venues, and other public places.
