Thank You For Visiting The Prayer Page 


Prayer focus for MICHOP is set through email.  Prayer points come through research and the leading of the Spirit, as He indicates what to pray for our city, region, state and nation. You can be included in these email prayers by contacting us and asking to be included in them. 

 

5 STEPS TO HEAL AMERICA


  1. Pray for change, in our own lives as well as in America.
  2. Repent and receive God’s viewpoint in all matters.
  3. Read Bible and understand how God intended us to live and to treat each other, to govern and to preserve freedoms.
  4. Turn from wickedness of all kinds. Turn from compromise, rationalization, and bad habits that keep us from thriving.
  5. Sacrifice time, energy and money to assist in making godly, righteous, compassionate changes in our communities together.




We receive suggested prayer points from  MICHOP Staff and other prayer team members who are praying in scheduled time periods, and we are also willing to consider prayer points submitted via email.  We welcome submissions from each of the 7 arenas of society:  our legislators and government workers and officials, educators, marketplace and business people, those in or connected to the military and law enforcement, those active in arts and media, requests concerning the Church, and concerns for our precious families. 


See an example of a prayer guide below, or sign up on the contact page to receive a weekly email which contains this prayer focus! 


If you visit MICHOP, there are materials available to assist your prayers for the 7 "mountains," the nation of Israel, and our state elected officials.
