40 Days of Prayer

We believe in prayer and the power that prayer has. This program has been going on for 5 years now within the community of Mount Olive and in serving those of the Washington Heights area. This model has been utilized as a joint project with the four other churches of the Washington Heights area and involves opening our church doors on the 1st Thursday of May so that people may be encouraged to come and join with millions of others to offer petitions, praise, adoration and confession to our Creator and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who has saved us.

We encourage other churches to become involved and offer resources that are available for you to use free of charge. If you are a Milwaukee-based church you may even be eligible to receive up to 1,000 free customized flyers to publicize your event.

Our online resources include:

  • A prayer booklet of 40 prayers that encompasses a wide range of petitions to begin 40 days before the National Day of Prayer,
  • A child’s booklet of prayers that can be utilized as a school or family resource 
  • Flyers to hand out or insert in your bulletin for the five weeks prior to the National Day of Prayer. (These focus on the following areas: When to Pray, What to Pray for, Where to Pray, Why we pray, and How to pray).
  • Other information includes how to publicize the event, community prayer walk ideas, a community prayer service and pot luck.
