Australia Prays - The Biggest & Broadest Call to Prayer in Australia’s History
By Warwick Marsh
Australia Prays held on the 22 August 2021 was an historic milestone in Australia’s spiritual history. What is even more miraculous is that this unprecedented prayer event came together within 18 days. It was the biggest and broadest call to prayer for the Church in Australia ever! The day itself proved to be astonishing display of Christian unity and humility that was “exceedingly above all we could ask or think?”
Watch the full day here. Starts at 7:20 Seconds:
God always meets our heart and hears our humility more than our perfect prayers. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Our theme prayer was “Lord have mercy, Jesus have mercy.”
We recorded over 30 videos from Christian Leaders to support & promote the day. Including leading Archbishops & Bishops and key Christian leaders. These videos on their own are a beautiful testament to the “astonishing display of Christian unity and humility.” Watch the 30 Videos here.
We ended up with support & involvement from 3 Catholic Archbishops and 4 Catholic Bishops plus 1 Anglican Archbishop and 3 Anglican Bishops.
Several Denominational heads like the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church, Rev Peter Barnes, Ps Phil Pringle head of the C3 and Ps Wayne Alcorn President of Australian Christian Churches gave their support. Many more could be listed including different ethnic churches and multiple prayer networks. Soli Deo Gloria!
Not only that but there was wonderful representation from Civic leaders where Labor Parliamentarians outnumbered Coalition Members for a change. These included the Leader & the Deputy Leader of the Labor Party.
One could cynically say that the Labor Party are trying to curry favour with their much-neglected Christian constituency. Another explanation is that this once strongly Christian Party is coming back to its Christian roots which is a welcome sign for one and all.
Truly the Australia Prays Day of Prayer for the Pandemic was astounding and a very historic event but in the most wonderful way! Soli Deo Gloria. I have never seen anything quite like it in my 5 decades of following God. The closest thing to it was the “National Gathering” around new Parliament House to open it in prayer in 1988 with 50,000 Christians. While yesterday’s event did not exceed that in physical numbers. (We could be wrong?) The sweet spirit of humility that pervaded the interactive Zoom part of event, the leaders and those attending was extraordinary. It could only be Gods doing. Soli Deo Gloria!
Sundays live zoom numbers peaked at about 850 on Sunday night. (We believe somewhere between 2,000 – 4,000 viewers throughout the day.)
We believe that up to a million people could have taken part across Australia in one way or another in Australia Prays on Sunday 22 August 2021. This in itself is a momentous achievement. Soli Deo Gloria!
On Sunday, our indigenous brothers and sisters stood out like bright shining stars radiating the goodness and the grace of the lord Jesus Christ amongst us all.
We are always the result of someone else’s prayer. We are always standing on someone else’s shoulders! We will never know who prayed for us to get us to the point we are today. This is true for us all.
Prayer warrior Annie Cathcart had this to say about the Australia Prays event. “I was so touched by the prayers and unity in the Australia Prays Prayer Zoom, and I thank God for that; but as we all know there has been many years of prayers behind yesterday’s success. God is faithful and His power is unleashed - when God’s people pray.”
Alfred Lord Tennyson was right to say, “More things are wrought by prayer, than this world dreams of.”
I believe we are going to see amazing answers to prayer from this day of prayer. At this stage we do not know what they are, but the answer is already on the way.
As Matthew Henry said, “When God intends great mercy for his people, he first of all sets them praying.”
Suffice to say God has moved and is moving.

David's Tabernacle: How God's Presence Changes Everything
An ancient pattern of worship is re-emerging on the earth.
In Acts 15, the apostle James quotes the book of Amos, declaring that the “tabernacle of David” will be restored, and the people of the earth will respond to God’s gracious invitation into fellowship with Him.
David’s tabernacle is being restored in our day by the enthronement of God upon the praises of His people through worship!
The Lord is birthing a global day-and-night worship and prayer movement that will lead to a historic harvest of souls entering His Kingdom.
Worship creates encounter with the living God and His presence, bringing heaven to earth: wholeness and transformation to individuals, to cities, and to nations.
You will discover your original purpose and eternal destiny as you step into David’s Tabernacle.
Matthew Lilley (pictured right) is an author, worship leader, intercessor and Bible teacher with a passion for God’s presence, extravagant worship & prayer and a desire to see cities transformed by Jesus. He has helped launch two houses of prayer in North Carolina and has also served in national leadership roles in worship & prayer movements such as Burn 24-7 and Awaken the Dawn.
'God described David as a 'man after his own heart.' David's Tabernacle helps you and me discover what was IN David's heart that moved the heart of God! This is one of the best books written on the subject! I highly recommend it!' Dr Jason Hubbard - Director, International Prayer Council
This book is available paperback and for download. Buy it online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble AND Apple Books

Injured MP to walk marathon for ‘amazing charity’
Rehman Chishti, former PM’s special envoy for freedom of belief, heard of Action for the Church in Need when it brought Asia Bibi’s husband and daughter to see him. He became more familiar with how ACN aims to make the lives of persecuted people better, and decided to run the London marathon in October on its behalf. However, he slipped a disk, causing serious injury that initially left him barely able to stand. Now he will do the 26 miles walking five kilometres every other day. It is the most he can do due to pain. He said, ‘I will do the walk in segments as I can’t risk injuring myself any more. To me, politics is about fulfilling your commitments. On that basis I am adamant I will do that by walking the duration of the marathon.’
David Suchet: total faith in Jesus
Agatha Christie’s detective Hercule Poirot was played by David Suchet who, in 13 series, made the part very much his own. Coming from a Jewish/Christian background he was agnostic until he was in the bath thinking about the afterlife and resurrection. His thoughts puzzled him, so he decided to investigate further by purchasing a New Testament. He was fascinated by the Roman Empire and started reading the book of Romans. Much was not understood until a passage spoke of a way of life he’d been searching for through most of his adult life - a coherent philosophy he could relate to. He said, ‘The Christian worldview is love.’ He added that his Christianity has stood him in good stead in his profession and private life: ‘I wouldn’t claim for a moment I’ve always succeeded in following the way of love. But I know what’s right and wrong. God is in control and knows what’s going on.’
One million more Covid internet gamblers
Online betting rose significantly during the pandemic, the Gambling Commission has confirmed. Figures from the industry watchdog show a 12% rise in the number of adults gambling on the web between 2019 and 2020. Half of those did so using a mobile device, such as a smartphone. Matt Zarb-Cousin of Clean Up Gambling said, ‘Online gambling exploded in lockdown, with firms posting record profits. At least 60% come from those experiencing gambling problems, and online slots provide most of the revenue.’ He added, ‘Consumer protections, such as limits to stakes on slots, as on fixed-odds betting terminals, are badly needed in the gambling review.’ Researchers discovered that 21% of the 10,000 gambling premises in Britain are in the most deprived areas of the country, with only 2% in the least deprived areas.
Refugees in UK need so much
A Brighton doctor helping recently-arrived Afghan refugees in the UK said it was ‘very emotional’ witnessing children beginning to play and smile again. ‘Many arrived dehydrated, malnourished and exhausted after days waiting outside the airport in Kabul,’ said 27-year-old Dr Luke Tester. ‘I can't imagine the suffering they must have gone through.’ He praised the resilience of the refugees, with many arriving unwell and without any possessions. ‘People are exhausted and ill, having gone through the unimaginable, but are still comforting each other. Children who are realising they're safe are beginning to play and smile again. There's been such amazing support for these people from the public; I just hope it continues.’ he said. The British Red Cross said that over £1m had been raised so far to help provide the refugees with essentials such as food, warm clothing, blankets and wash stuff.
