There are two main practices, or disciplines, that we encourage you to begin as soon as you can. They will help you to persevere in your journey, and to continue on the right path.
Both centered around prayer.
Regular, united faith-filled prayer is foundational and absolutely essential to your growing in abandoned devotion, going for two years or longer, and spreading the vision along the way.
The two Core Practices are:
1. Prayer and Fasting on Tuesdays and
2. Participating in a Global Prayer Team
Core Practice #1: Weekly Day of Prayer and Fasting - Every Tuesday!
We ask that you set aside Tuesday of each week for a special time of prayer and fasting where corporately, around North America, we join together on the same day to seek the face of God.
The purpose of this weekly practice is to pray and intercede, wherever you are, for the vision that is behind the SVM2 Initiative, knowing that there are many others across North America that are praying for the very same thing on the very same day. There is a synergy and a momentum that begins to take place as we recognize that we are not alone as we seek God for this outpouring.
SVM2uesdays (get it? SVM2 Tuesdays!) are focused entirely on two points of prayer:
§ For the younger generation and a renewed depth of spiritual fervor.
§ The younger generation’s involvement in reaching the world for Christ by going to the hardest areas around the world with the gospel.
Each message bearer and their GPT are free to decide what the fasting component looks like. It could be fasting one meal, a food fast for the entire day or another form. Whatever it is, we ask that you make Tuesdays a day that you make a physical sacrifice for a spiritual reason, and take extra time to pray, intercede and seek the Lord.
Please sign up here to let us know that you're joining us in fasting and prayer weekly for our generation's involvement in the fulfillment of the great commission.
Core Practice #2: Participating in a Global Prayer Team
A Global Prayer Team (GPT) is a small group of students or young adults meeting weekly for devoted prayer and intercession with a focus on reaching the world for Jesus Christ in our lifetime, local and global revival, and for an increase of global mission vision on their campus or in their church. GPT’s unite this generation in intercession to reach the nations. You can request a copy of the Global Prayer Team Guide which lays out the basics of how to bring prayer for the nations and your generation to you church or campus.
Next, as you begin your Message Bearer Journey, we'll help you get equipped, and keep you in contact with other like-minded people (your fellow Message Bearers).
