· Foundation: Thanksgiving for God choosing us to be his people, i.e. Zion, Ruach, CCI, Beersheba, Gate City Family Worship Center, our church in Uruguay

We thank you Lord for your love, forgiveness and grace . Thank you for what you are building in the earth. We thank you for this day and your people. We thank you that you are building a people of righteousness. We thank you that you are building a people of Love. We thank you that you are building a place of your glory.

We thank you for our church. We agree with your plan to build a church that the gates of hell shall not prevail against. We say build your church with us. Build it with our prayers, build it with our service, build it through our relationships, build it with our worship and build it for your glory. We agree with your Word that you are rebuilding the tabernacle of David in these days. You are building places of whole hearted worship and praise where your wisdom and justice can be accessed and received.

Please Lord by the power of your Spirit set in the church members as it pleases you. You Lord will give all your church needs to build healthy believers who walk in the earth as mature representations of Christ in the earth. Please give those who love your Word the grace to demonstrate it. Help us to love and pursue peace, and embraced and activate the ministry of reconciliation. We believe this to be an expression of your heart.

We thank you for the revelation of the Davidic cave called Adullam …where those who were in debt and those who were discontented and those who were distressed gathered. Help us to love those who are in debt until they become healthy in their hearts and mighty in their financial integrity to prosper in every arena of their lives. We ask you God for a supernatural anointing of wisdom to help those in debt and also to drive out all spirits that cause stress, frustration, depression and anger.

Help us to love those who are discontented…may we have all the divine ability we need to overcome challenges to relationships so we may heal the discontented. May our light and life release a spirit of contentment to heal those who are distressed! We thank you for your prophetic picture of the Church: ZION.

We thank you and celebrate that you are building a place where those who have lost their way can find their identity in you . We thank you for a place where Christ and His words are King. We pray for an impartation by the breath of God. By the ruach of God we receive the truths concerning ZION (the church). May it come by supernatural means! Please use the laying on of hands, prophecy, prayer, praise and worship and fellowship to cause this truth to spread

We thank you for our service times.  We thank you for anointed times of worship and the Word of liberty on Sundays.  We ask that would grant wisdom and favor on Tuesdays to make disciples who advance your Kingdom on the earth while establishing our local church.
