SOCAL District Summons to Prayer
The First District Event of 2021!

On January 7-8, 2021, the SOCAL District was scheduled to have an in-person WNOP Prayer Summons (Conference). However, due to the present pandemic, this was not possible. Nevertheless, our District Superintendent, Bishop Art Hodges III was determined to make this Prayer Summons happen. I appreciate our Superintendent who did not waver and did not want to cancel or postpone the SOCAL Summons, but decided to go ahead with a Summons to Prayer, via ZOOM, making it the very first District event for the calendar year of 2021.
 
The SOCAL Summons to Prayer was powerful and a great success! The event theme and focuses are displayed in the accompanying ad. There were over 30 prayer participants, which included Bishop Hodges, WNOP Director Sister Flo Shaw, WNOP Promotions Director Pastor John Owens, Presbyters, Pastors, District Department Leaders, Evangelists, and Home Missionaries. This prayer meeting was about an hour and thirty minutes of nonstop powerful and anointed prayer! Each man of God prayed three minutes for a specific topic and each District Department Leader prayed for their specific department. There was a good outcome of over 1,200 YouTube viewers by Thursday night.
 
The consensus of the participating ministers expressed that it was truly an encouragement to their members who viewed the Summons to Prayer. Various ministers stated that it felt like there was a great sense of unity. For example, one pastor indicated that the District Summons to Prayer was an encouragement to him and his church. Another pastor stated, “Our church was encouraged and empowered, and many of our people expressed their appreciation and how it blessed them.” Because it is difficult for pastors to meet together due to the pandemic, many suggested that a Zoom prayer meeting continue throughout the year using the same format, schedule, and topics. 
 
In conclusion, prayer is the communication God hears, and holy supplication is what keeps God’s ear open. When earnest people pray, the consuming fire of God descends from heaven to accomplish the plea! Glory to God!

For 2021, the United Pentecostal Church International has embraced the theme "BEYOND," as we soar to a destination of greater success! The word "beyond" is defined as "over and above or greater than; more extensive or extreme; surpassing; exceeding; in excess of; having progressed or achieved more than; etc." As applicable, let's go forth beyond the ordinary to the...EXTRAORDINARY!

Join with us in prayer and fasting on January 2-31, 2021, believing that we, the Church, will go beyond all boundaries and beyond Jordan, up towards our spiritual promise land to claim every inheritance from our Almighty God!

WEEK THREE (January 17 - 23)

Pray that we willingly go beyond by giving our time, our talents, and resources for the work of God. Pray that God's love would abound and that He would use the Church mightily for His glory...From leadership to laity, in every age level. "...beyond their power, they were willing of themselves" (II Corinthians 8:3).

WEEK FOUR (January 24 - 30)

Pray that God would bring healing, miracles, signs, and wonders, and unprecedented revival, restoration, and harvest, so that we are (BEYOND MEASURE ASTONISHED)! "...and were beyond measure astonished, saying, He maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak" (Mark 7:37).

BOTT will begin on January 18 at 7 PM and then reconvene on January 19, once again at 7 PM. There will be no day services or PK conference this year.
 
Prayer for our ministers and leaders and their families is essential, especially as they stand in the forefront and lead the way in the kingdom of God!

  • for a mighty outpouring of the Spirit of God in this event, and that He would greatly anoint and use our ministerial leadership in the fullness of the five-fold ministry.
  • that God would meet the needs of those in the ministry in all aspects, including spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, provisionally, etc. Pray for direction.
  • for God to comfort and deeply minister to those in leadership and the ministry who have suffered immensely from the effects of the pandemic and other hardships in this season of uncertainty.
  • the whole armor of God upon each minister, and for a hedge of protection to abound.
  • that the Word of God go forth with power and authority and be confirmed with signs following. Pray that God gloriously would perform healing, miracles, signs, and wonders.
  • for God to send His angels to help the ministry, as they seek to fulfill His great plan.
  • that the blessings of God would rest upon those involved in ministerial work and upon those in attendance at this event, and that all go home with renewed vision and passion.
  • Spirit-led and kingdom-minded prayers for what God desires to accomplish in the life of every minister and leader, and their families, according to His divine and perfect will!
  • that God would equip and anoint the ministry to do exploits in His kingdom, to His glory, and they be endowed with the fruit of the Spirit/the gifts of the Spirit. Pray for unprecedented revival, renewal, restoration, reaping and retention of harvest.

World Needs:

  • Pray for the Lord to increase wisdom and understanding about the coronavirus and current variants that are evolving as Covid-19 cases are increasing with more than 200,000 new cases reported weekly. The World Health Organization has warned that herd immunity won’t occur in 2021, and social distancing measures will need to stay in place for the rest of this year. The UK is encountering the “worst point” of the pandemic with cases rising and deaths increasing. Malaysia has announced more restrictions, while South Africa has closed its borders and Canada has increased lockdown measures.
  • Pray for the Lord to protect America during the White House transition and for the truth to be revealed with the White House riot.
  • Pray for the Lord to aid in Indonesia’s national search and rescue of the 62 people who were aboard Sriwijaya Air Flight 182. It crashed into the ocean shortly after taking off from Jakarta.
  • Pray for rescue efforts after Indonesia’s 6.2 earthquake which has been stymied by blocked roads and lack of gear. The quake caused damage to roads and bridges, power blackouts, and killed at least 46 people and left hundreds injured.
