denominational leaders led portions of the call , and this year , that number was nine . The calls involved more than a hundred leaders and hundreds of callers phoned in each night . Teams of intercessors took participants through focused prayer on repentance and renewal , children and youth , family and lost friends , unreached peoples and the harvest before us – relentless , missional prayer .
Special guests reads like a ‘ Who ’ s Who ,” among respected Evangelical-Pentecostal leaders committed to prayer and spiritual awakening . The calls included a prayer segment , a ‘ Look What God is Doing !’ report , praise moments or awakening needs , all designed to move listeners to pray .

Agree 17

In January 2017 , the Church of God International Offices paused for a three-day revival called Agree 17 . Dr . Mark Rutland was the chapel speaker each morning , and each evening , a live-streamed prayer meeting took place . The prayer event was a lively collage of information , inspiration and intercession . Prayer leaders from across the nation prayed over the globe on the set . Members of the International Executive Committee , the World Missions leadership team , and others , challenged viewers and those present in the studio . Simultaneous intercessors took phone calls , and

collected prayer requests from various social media sites . On the last night , the global audience had grown to 40,000 . It was the first experience of this kind offered by the denomination – or , by almost any other denomination ! o
