MEDIA RELEASE
Australian Prayer Network InspiresWorldwide 40 Day Prayer Call
Global Call for 40 Days Prayer, Fasting and Repentance6 August - 14 September 2013
The global call inspired by the Australian Prayer Network for a 40-day period of prayer will conclude on
Saturday 14 September 2013. This International Day of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance coincides with YomKippur, Israels National Day of Atonement.
On 30 January 2013 the former Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, announced the Federal Election date as 14
September 2013. Although unprecedented, it took the title of the longest election campaign in our nations
history and allowed for effective prayer planning. The Australian Prayer Network announced 40 Days of
Prayer and Fasting for the 40 days leading up to the election date.
The team at the National Day of Prayer and Fasting, aware of the historic importance of 14 September as
an International Day of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance and also the ancient Biblical Day of Atonement,
decided to talk with International Prayer Leaders about a worldwide prayer focus. After the success of
gathering28 countries to pray and fast for 72 hours for the USAin early May, they held a period ofconsultation with international prayer leaders.
It was decided to call the whole world to 40 Days of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance in the lead up to Yom
Kippur on 14 September 2013. Julia Gillard is no longer Prime Minister and the new Prime Minister, Kevin
Rudd, has not confirmed the final election date, which may even remain at 14 September.
In the light of this, the team at the National Day of Prayer and Fasting is still calling Christians across the
earth to pray but is asking the praying people of Australia to prioritise prayer for the coming Federal
Election as first articulated by Brian Pickering of the Australian Prayer Network. We encourage Christians
everywhere to sign up for the Australian Prayer Networks informative weekly emails. Please see their
website for details:http://ausprayernet.org.au/
We greatly appreciate the supportive prayers of the praying people of Australia for this global call for 40
Days of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance as the core problems are the same across the globe. Governments
cannot fix these problems, only Jesus Christ can. We need Gods intervention across the whole world at this
time. We need revival and transformation not only in our nation, but in the nations of the world.
Warwick Marsh, one of the team from Australia who is organising this International call to prayer, said,
Our world is in desperate need. Of the 7.1 billion men, women and children alive today, only 2.2 billion call
themselves Christian. Widespread sexual immorality, promoted by much of the media, is ruining marriages,
families and our individual lives. The attack on marriage continues in our Western countries. Marriage
redefined is marriage destroyed.
Abortion is the leading cause of death in the world with an estimated 42 million unborn babies being killed
each year. In Australia alone 100,000 lose their lives to abortion each year. All this, and more, takes place in
the context of a world that is in increasing turmoil. The time has come for a worldwide call for prayer and
repentance.

David and Marilyn Rowsome, also members of the organising team said, We believe it is time to humble
ourselves before God, praying and fasting and repenting with fervency and urgency for ourselves, the
Church and the nations. As the worldwide Body of Christ, let us come before God and cry out for healing,
revival and transformation as it says in 2 Chronicles 7:14.
Let us believe together for a harvest of at least a billion souls who find a living relationship with Jesus Christ.
