21 days of prayer
Join Christian leaders and churches of every denomination across Australia as we pray and fast for 21 days (Sunday, 13 April – Saturday, 3 May) for the Federal Election on Saturday 3rd, May 2025.
We long to see revival, repentance and reformation throughout Australia, and we ask God’s blessing upon all the parliamentarians and candidates.

Turn the Tide
We are convinced we are at a critical crossroads at this time in our nation’s history. Much in the political sphere that seeks to actively erode our Judaeo–Christian values and heritage.
As a result, we are calling this prayer campaign “Turn the Tide”.
In 1 Kings 18, the prophet Elijah is distraught at Israel’s spiritual and moral condition. Led by an evil king, Ahab, and his wife, Jezebel, the kingdom of Israel needed a return to God and His righteous ways.
Elijah proposes a showdown between Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel, and Baal, the god of the Canaanites and Phoenicians.
Elijah then prays,
“Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that you are the LORD God, and that you have turned their heart back to you again.” (1 Kings 18:37)
This key Scripture forms the basis for this election prayer campaign. We are crying out that Australia may know the true God and turn back to Him again.
Pray with us for:
• A righteous government that upholds truth and Christian values (1 Timothy 2:1–4)
• Wisdom for voters to perceive the true agenda of political parties (Proverbs 14:15)
• A church that disciples the nation in this window of grace (Matthew 28:18–20)
