We urge each community/church to send representatives to the National Assembly in Canberra however we realise it is not possible for everyone to attend. Therefore for those unable to come to Canberra we encourage participation in the following forms:-

We encourage Churches to open their buildings for prayer during the hours that the Solemn Assembly is in session (i.e. 11.00AM till 8.00PM Friday and Saturday 9th and 10th March and Sunday 11th, 12 Noon till 3.00PM) and to organise a roster of their praying people to ensure continuous prayer co-inciding with the Canberra times each day. Churches in a geographical area are encouraged to combine their activities as a sign of the unity and oneness of the Body of Christ that God desires.

Churches are invited to use their normal services that weekend to link in with the theme of repentance and forgiveness. At 12 Noon local time on the Sunday we invite people to remain in their Churches, or unite at a combined venue designated by Ministers Associations in geographical areas, to participate in a National Solemn Assembly till 3.00PM, led locally, but co-inciding with the National Event in Canberra, when we will unite as one Body across the nation to humble ourselves and pray, repent of our wicked ways and cry out for His mercy towards us His people and for our nation.

In any communities where the Church does not pick this up we encourage Prayer Groups and Individuals to organise their own gatherings seeking to embrace all praying people in their community in their plans.

A love offering to cover expenses will be taken at the Canberra Assembly however for those unable to attend or simply wanting to assist us in meeting the anticipated heavy expenses associated with an event of this magnitude we invite donations to be forwarded to the Australian Prayer Network PO Box 31 Epping NSW 1710. Your generosity would be greatly appreciated.

This is a once in a generation event. Our nation is in desperate need of both natural and spiritual rain. We believe the breaking of the physical drought is dependant on the breaking of the spiritual drought which in turn is dependant on us humbling ourselves before Almighty God and recommitting our ways back to Him. We invite you to be part of this historic event.
