2025 Movement-wide Prayer & Fast
We are excited to partner across the Antioch Movement this month for our Movement-Wide Prayer and Fast on Feb. 24-26! We are believing for the word of the Lord -“Prepare(d) for Harvest"- to be made manifest in all of our U.S. Churches and International teams this year and want to invite you to join us.
These times of prayer and fasting allow us to stay connected, unified and provide an opportunity to stand in the gap of intercession for one another across the globe. It is always a powerful time of seeing prayers answered, being reminded we are not standing alone, and learning to carry the burden of prayer for others who are also believing for God to move. A breakthrough for one is a breakthrough for all!
Example Fasting Schedule:
Day 1: Pray for the Nations & United States (see crafted prayers below)
Day 2: Pray for the Movement (see crafted prayers below)
Day 3: Pray for the Harvest (see crafted prayers below)
Don’t forget to check out our fasting guide at the bottom of the blog post.
Pray for the Nations
“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work. Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” John 4:34-45
SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA | God, we honor You as the Lord of the harvest in Africa. Thank You for the fertile soil of the African Church. Mature it into a good crop, Lord! Prepare an abundant harvest by lifting Jesus’ name above every spirit, ancestor, and competing claim to the lives of Africa’s many tribes. Break every chain of injustice, spiritual bondage, and hollow religion that places prosperity over discipleship, Lord. Amen!
MIDDLE EAST | Lord, let Your word accomplish all that You desire for the Middle East. Cause the seeds of truth and love sown over many years to burst into life! Open the eyes of our teams here to perceive the new life You are bringing to these nations. (Isa. 55:10-13)
EUROPE | We thank You, Lord, that for thousands of years gospel seeds have been sown in the soils of Europe. We declare that now is the time for those seeds to take root and reap a harvest of salvation! Thank You, God, that You desire all in Europe to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:3-4). And we pray earnestly for a harvest of European leaders and laborers (Luke 10:2). Raise up leaders who are not only hearers but also doers of Your Word, because they have found that You, O God, are the One their heart loves.
SOUTHEAST ASIA MUSLIMS + AUSTRALIA | O Lord, give us in Southeast Asia and Australia a heart like Philip in the Book of Acts. We ask You to give us boldness to preach Your word and to call down wonders among our people groups (Acts 8:4-13). We ask for readiness like Philip to be sent to the least likely places and meet those You’ve prepared, who hunger for Your word (Acts 8:26-40). Help us be ready to share in and out of season. O Lord, help us to be ready. In Jesus name, Amen.
EAST ASIA + RUSSIA | Father, thank You for laying a foundation of intercession and missions in East Asia and Russia. We pray for that mantle to be passed to the younger generations in these nations, that they may carry it even farther. Send out Your people, let the unreached in East Asia hear the Good News, and bring about a great harvest across the region.
SOUTH ASIA | Jesus, the soil of South Asia is fertile and prepared for harvest from decades of intercession. We ask You to lift up the eyes of believers to see that the fields are ripe for harvest (John 4:35). Jesus, give Your people boldness in the face of persecution. We magnify and lift You up as You draw the lost to yourself! Make this harvest like the days “when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed” (Amos 9:13). For Your glory, Jesus. Amen.
CENTRAL ASIA | Lord Jesus, we thank You for the great harvest that is coming to Central Asia and Turkey. Prepare Your people: Increase revelation as we spend time with You. Grant us unity across the entire Body of Christ. As we pray, give us heavenly solutions for every problem we face in the region. Prepare the harvest: Increase dreams and miracles. We ask for our people groups not only to be drawn to the light, but to become the light!
SOUTHEAST ASIA BUDDHISTS | Father, a season of reaping salvation and righteousness has come. Give Your people eyes to see what You are doing in the Buddhist world! Give laborers deep satisfaction and joy as they step into harvest opportunities. Give us the practical tools and the wisdom of the Spirit for every situation.
Pray for the United States
CENTRAL TEXAS | God, we are asking for a breaking in of the fullness of Your power, the fullness of Your kingdom. Come and have Your way in every family, every heart, and every home. Bring the prodigals home. Bring salvation. Bring healing. Bring freedom. Come do everything that is in Your heart to do in the Central Texas region. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in Central Texas region as it is in heaven.
EAST COAST | Father, we thank You for the coming harvest and we believe You are about to do a mighty work across the East Coast and into the rest of the United States. We ask for You, Lord of the Harvest, to raise up laborers across the Church to be sent to the harvest fields to find the souls that are spiritually hungry and ripe for the harvest. Let every seed of the gospel fall on soil that is ready to receive Your love and become a fruitful disciple of Your Kingdom. Prepare our hearts to receive those who will come into the Church and awaken the Church of the Southern East Coast to have compassion, kindness and love towards those who are responding to the Good News.
THE MIDWEST | Lord of the Harvest, come awaken the hearts of Your laborers who are called to GO to the fields of the Midwest. Prepare the Church in the Midwest to receive the people You are preparing to be a part of the Body of Christ. Give us open hearts and open hands to love and serve the lost, hurting and broken to find healing in the arms of their loving Father. Make us bold to share the gospel consistently, believing that as we share, it truly is the best news anyone could ever hear. We ask that many will respond with open hearts to receive the love of God for their own lives.
GULF OF TEXAS | Father, You have prepared Houston for Your harvest by making us fall in love with You all over again in the place of intimacy through prayer. We ask that You help us connect the Greatest commandment to the Great commission and never let us prioritize the second “great” over the first again.
MICHIGAN SUBURBS | We thank You Lord for growing our connections deeper into our different communities to serve and love the overlooked. We thank You for maintaining our hope in Jesus despite going through losses. God prepare us by bringing greater hope, strength and unity. Lord, fan the flame of our prayer times, and ground us in a love for Your Word. Shape us like clay to be ready for all You want to do.
MOUNTAIN RANGE | Lord, thank You, that You have set our roots deep in You in this last season. We are prepared to lead people in true and enduring discipleship to You for the long haul. Holy Spirit, attune all our senses to You so that we can recognize the low hanging fruit that You have prepared for us to pick in this season. Lord, ready us to bring the gospel of the Kingdom at a moment’s notice to whomever needs Your goodness.
MOUNTAINS TO SEA | Abba father, we thank You for the ways that You continue to prepare us and the Mountains to Sea region for a bountiful harvest. We ask You to raise up Church Planters and teams with a yes in their hearts and minds to plant new churches and campus ministries within the Mountains to Sea region and to go to the nations.
NEW ENGLAND | We ask You Lord to continue to encourage Your children to walk in the light and experience freedom in Christ throughout all the New England churches. Continue to work Your healing into their lives that they might worship and obey You, motivated by having deeply experienced Your love and mercy. May the blood of the lamb and their testimonies bring hope, truth, and life to their region, to many who are walking in the dark.
NORTH TEXAS | Lord, we thank You for uniquely positioning North Texas for a rich harvest season. We see how You are drawing people here from across our country and nations of the Earth. We ask that they find their home in You. As laborers in Your harvest, we pray for the ability to abide in your love. We ask You to increase our desire to know You deeper as we see Your kingdom come.
PACIFIC NORTHWEST | Jesus, thank for the prophetic word that a wave of Your Spirit is about to hit the Pacific Northwest. We believe Your word and we believe that this wave will bring many into salvation and set many captives free. Prepare Your Bride through consistent Worship, Word, and Prayer both personally and corporately. Prepare Your Church through personal holiness and humility. Prepare Your People through raising up new leaders in every area to make disciples of all who will come to You. Let what happens in the Pacific Northwest impact the landscape of the entire nation and may this wave ultimately lead to a wave of missions, so that the unreached of the earth will hear the good news that Jesus is King.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA | Father, we thank You for the increasing unity both within each of our regional church families and between our regional families. We believe it’s a sign that we will begin to see more fruit and many will come to know Your Son personally. Holy Spirit, bring our people to the right places here and afar where You are waiting for us to start new families by Your grace and with all Your provisions.
SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS | King of the Universe, You have won the battle and paid the price for our redemption. The ground has been broken up and there are many with soft hearts ready to come into Your kingdom. Send us out with a clear invitation from You. Give the lost a holy fear and bring true repentance. (Ps 85:9). As we pray, break up the ground of even the most hardened hearts, softening them with Your blessings. Send us to be that blessing by loving and serving those we meet. (Hosea 10:12)
SOUTH CENTRAL AMERICA | Father, we ask that You continue to train the Church to stand against injustice, human trafficking and corruption. Break us of our religious pride that separates us and keeps us from embracing the lost and broken. Unify the church and mend our nets so we can be strong in You for the harvest. Grant us the wisdom and discernment to know where to cast our nets. May You be glorified by an abundant harvest.
