24-Hour Prayer for the I-35 Corridor
A cooperative church effort to provide prayer 24 hours / 365 days a year for the corridor communities between Austin and San Antonio
The Vision
To see the I-35 Corridor in Central Texas covered in unceasing prayer (1 Thes. 5:17) by 31+ churches until Jesus returns! A unified church with one heart, one mind and one prayer to see God transform our area! A growing number of pastors leading their churches in 24 hours per month of unceasing prayer!
The Call
I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. –Isaiah 62:6-7
The Idea
How easy it would be to see our area covered in unceasing prayer if every church adopted one day of prayer each month?
The Commitment
The senior pastor must sign up the church and choose one day a month to cover in prayer for one year. The church will raise up prayer warriors to cover their 24 hours of prayer each month.
Whatcom County Prayer
See what the Lord is doing in Whatcom County, WA through prayer. God used this Whatcom Story to clarify the vision, and show the sustainability of transformation through united, day and night prayer. Their vision is to build and strengthen canopies of United, Strategic, and Sustainable 24/7 prayer in Whatcom County and beyond
The “Ask”
That each church / organization take one day of the month and commit to filling every hour of the day with someone who is praying for the corridor, the churches of the corridor, the lost of the corridor, etc.
The Responsibility of the Church / Organization:
- Train its own members for prayer
- Coordinate the prayer efforts of the church members during some portion of a day every month. (Smaller churches / organizations may wish to partner with other churches to fill entire 24 periods, some larger churches may wish to cover more than one day of the month.)
- Communicate with Corridor coordinators which day, days, or portion of a day that they are committing to cover

THE HOUR THAT CHANGES THE WORLD
In his book, The Hour that Changes the World, Dick Eastman suggests that one divide an hour into 12 periods of 5 minutes each. After 5 minutes you change to another form of prayer. The following is Dick Eastman’s grouping:
