We are convinced more than ever that in these days God is summoning His people to pray, to stand firm in faith and united prayer until we see God bring forth His blessing and transformation in our cities, communities, our world. Now is the time to seek God’s face; now is the time to seek His kingdom.
Here is what people have said as they have prayed through the Seek God for the City prayer guide:
* Our church has used Seek God for the City for many years now. Our folks look forward to this every year. It has been a blessing to be part of a wider prayer movement. Several folks use it all year long by just starting over every 40 days.
* Seek God has greatly encouraged us and infused us with an anticipation of what God is doing and going to do in our midst.
* It really drew the body together. Many churches, radio stations, and organizations were involved praying together.
* We always use the Seek God for the City prayer guide for our church. The prayers are powerful, helping us to unite our prayers and focus together in powerful, biblical, hope-filled prayers. I also really appreciate the focus on different people groups and sectors of society. It is a powerful tool for prayer.
* I love this prayer guide and I’ve used others before. I’m always strengthened by the big scope and instructed on HOW to pray more effectively. I use it, I refer to it, I share from it, I read all the intro and extra helps, and I keep it for a long time afterward!
Seek God for the City is designed to unite and focus prayer through the 40 days leading to Palm Sunday, March 5 through April 13, 2014. It is affordable, and the quantity discounts make the 64-page booklet available for as little as $1.20 a copy. Check out the details at www.waymakers.org or call us at 800.264-5214.
There is still a bit more time for leaders in recognized positions of pastoral or prayer leadership to call for a complimentary review copy. Please call our office at 800.264.5214 to request a review booklet.
We are honored to be partnering with you,

We do not always know WHAT is coming, but we do know WHO is coming. God has been unfolding His purpose throughout the earth for thousands of years. Seek God for the City helps people pray in confidence towards His purpose with a hope shaped by God’s word and gripped by the life-giving power of the risen Son of God.
The prayers of Seek God for the City spring directly from the Scriptures. Without the word of God our prayers sometimes shrink to what one pastor called, “fix-it” prayers. When we focus on our needs, we tend to be defined by what we fear. Instead, this same pastor found that when his people prayed through Seek God for the City, they began to pray what he called “fulfill-it” prayers, focusing on what God has promised to do.
We are just about to begin the 40-day Seek God for the City. WayMakers provides many helpful promotional resources and tools to help you prepare for this 40 days of united prayer. A free Children’s Guide can be downloaded from our website to encourage families to pray together through Seek God for the City. A Spanish translation, Clama a Dios por la Ciudad, is also available in printed format with the same quantity discounts as the English translation. The Seek God companion app is available to download from iTunes or Google Play.
Whether you are ordering for the first time or need additional books, there is still time to receive the books by Wednesday, March 5. Please call us right away (800.264.5214) or place your order online at www.waymakers.org.
We are anticipating this time of united prayer by many thousands of God’s people. Let’s press in and seek God for His transformation and blessing of our cities and communities.
Be joyful in hope, patient in trouble, and persistent in prayer. (Rom 12.12 ISV),
