Transformation Africa & Global Day of Prayer

Five years ago a successful businessman in South Africa, Graham Power, had a vision from God that Africa will become the "Hope of the world". It began with 45,00 Christians praying in a stadium in Cape Town, South Africa. Four years later in 2004 the Day of Prayer for Africa was held.

"More than 273 cities/towns in South Africa and all 56 countries in Africa (more than 1 200 towns/cities) committed themselves to the process of transforming Africa and participated in a Day of Prayer for Africa, raising a canopy of Prayer across the continent involving more than 22 million people.This was a day that changed the face of Africa forever."

You can read the full history on the Transformation Africa website.

This year on May 15, 2005 Africa invites the world to join hands in a Global Day of Prayer.

"The plan is to start praying as the sun comes up in the East (New Zealand) in different time slots until the Sun sets in the West (USA). This planning will involve leaders from all 6 continents and will include more than 240 countries."
