As you come before the Lord in prayer, pray for cleansing and rebuilding of the church in this region as listed below:

1. Pray for humility and openness for all who attend to hear the voice of the Lord. Pray that God would move all obstacles that would keep His people from hearing from Him. Isaiah 57:14-15, 66:1-2 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Rev. 2:11
   
2. Pray that believers would understand the true state of the church. The church has departed from the Lord. Rev. 2:4-5, 2:14-16, 3:1-3, 3:15-19
   
3. Pray for personal renewal for the leadership toward the mission of the church. “God works through leaders to call the people back to Himself.” Pray that leaders would be examples to others in the Body. 1 Peter 5:1-4, 2 Pet 3:9-12, 2 Tim 2:19-24
   
4. Pray that God would use His leaders to call the church to fulfill its mission. Eph. 4:11-13, Col 1:27-29, Acts 6:4
   
5. Pray that the Body would submit to the leaders God has given them – remembering them, imitating their faith, following sound doctrine, and exercising their gifts. Heb 13:7, 9, 14-17, 1 Tim 4:12-14, 1 Peter 4:10-11.
   
6. Pray that God would use the renewed church to reach the lost and rebuild our communities. Titus 2:11-15, 1 Tim 2:4, 2 Tim 2:25-26
   

In addition, please pray for the event itself:

• For the speaker’s schedules and travel and God’s anointing on them.
  
• For those planning the event, the event details, and technology used for the event.
  
• For God to protect the communication and relationships of those leading and attending the event.
  
• For God’s purposes to be fulfilled and the enemy’s purposes to be thwarted.
  
• That God would guard the travel and schedules of all He wants to attend.
