(New York, N.Y.)—You may not have heard about this on CNN or MSNBC, but you’ll “hear” it here on BCN: On Sunday, September 20, 60,000 people gathered in Times Square to pray for one hour at a Christian rally dubbed “Prayer in the Square.” (Photo: NYCprayer.org)

According to a WorldNetDaily report, event organizers from Time Square Church had expected about 15,000 to attend but their expectations “were far exceeded at the third event of its kind in the last three years.”

Said Carter Conlon, pastor of the Times Square Church: “The Lord called us to host, fund and organize this event for the last three years. He told us that the first year would establish credibility with the city, and we have received positive feedback from various city agencies, including the office of the Mayor himself, commending us for honesty, order, and keeping our word. The second year confirmed to local churches that this was not the beginning of some new ministry but rather a gathering for the sole purpose of one hour of prayer, in humility, with all denominations represented and no personalities or ministry showcased. Those who have attended can attest to the fact that this has been so. Everything has unfolded exactly as the Lord impressed upon our hearts it would.”

“10/40 Window Sunday” is designated as the first Sunday of every October (4 OCT 2009) and is an opportunity for local churches around the world to receive a special missions offering that is targeted toward the 10/40 Window and WINDOW INTERNATIONAL NETWORK. (WIN) There is no other region of the world where there is more spiritual, geopolitical, and terrorist activity than the 10/40 Window. It is indeed the “final frontier” of global missions.

WHAT IS THE 10/40 WINDOW?
The 10/40 Window is the region between l0 degrees and 40 degrees north latitude that encompasses North Africa, the Middle East, and Central and Southeast Asia. It has been called the “resistance belt” because of its stubborn resistance to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Prayer can transform this region into the “righteousness belt.”

The 10/40 Window…

Contains 44 of the 50 world’s worst persecutors of Christians
The birthplace of the world’s major religions
Home to the majority of Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists
Has a population of 4.5 billion
Mostly unevangelized
Where eight out of ten of the world’s poor live
Includes five of the six nations that actively sponsor terrorism
Diseases that have long had a cure, run rampant here

10/40 WINDOW SUNDAY is both a starting place for a fresh wave of prayer and a mile marker in an ongoing movement of intercession for the people of this region.

As Window International Network president, Beverly Pegues explains, “Prayer moves the hand of God. Once there is sustained, strategic, and informed prayer in the 10/40 Window, we will witness massive numbers of unreached people coming to Christ. Pray that it will happen in our generation.”

Since the inception of Praying Through The Window in October of 1993, our LORD has granted special grace for intercessory prayer during the month of October. With over 40 million people who have participated in one or more of the nine worldwide prayer campaigns. Praying Through The Window is recognized as the pioneering global prayer initiative regarding world missions. In addition to intercessory prayer, it is essential that individuals and Churches renew their commitments concerning financial giving, especially from those who are Kingdom-minded.

Please join untold millions of Christians as we pause, humble ourselves before the LORD, and cry out on behalf of the people in the 10/40 Window on Sunday, October 4, 2009.

Thank you for standing strong with the Vision of our LORD for the 10/40 Window and challenging other Senior leaders to do likewise within your sphere of influence. Together as a team, we can do more for the Kingdom of GOD and multiply the financial seed sown into WIN. Thank you for standing with the people in the 10/40 Window. Your reward in Heaven will be great.
