Praying for the Church and Release of the Gospel in October 2025
Each October, the Canberra Declaration sets aside 31 days as an intensified time of prayer and fasting.
This year, after prayer, careful consideration and consultation with the Canberra Declaration community, we have chosen to dedicate October to the Church in Australia and the release of the gospel.
During the past several years, we have witnessed encouraging signs of revival, including in England, Wales, and the USA. We seek a mighty move of the Spirit in bringing revival as the Australian Church obeys its Great Commission mandate.
God responds to every individual’s prayer. But we are convinced that when the Church comes together and prays fervently in unity, there is extra favour in heaven.
This October, we have the opportunity to join with thousands of believers across Australia (and from other nations) in a strategic season of prayer and fasting. What a privilege!
