Prayer 

More Than Gold Prayer strategy for Thurrock


inc. Diamond Jubilee Prayer + Euro 2012

Please note that this is an 'unfolding revelation'...

The following proposed strategy takes in account all the major events of the year, which is in itself a National Year of Prayer. This strategy will take into account the Cascade of Prayer taking place around the nation during the lead-up to London 2012, and also the Praise Bus which is travelling ahead of the Olympic Torch Relay but taking the same route.

The key word for all prayer throughout 2012 is BLESSING.
