Prayer

We’d love you to join us in prayer

We believe that as we pray and encounter God’s presence, we are transformed and the world around us is changed. You can see details and sign up to our prayer meetings and events below.

21 Days of Prayer and Fasting - January 2026

We'd love you to join us and Vineyard churches across the UK and Ireland for 21 days of prayer and fasting in January. For many of us the 21 days will start on Monday 5 January and end on Sunday 25 January with an extended time of worship at the evening service. Here are prayer points for each day:

Days 1 - 5

DAY 1: NATIONS
Across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, we are seeing signs of revival. Church attendance is increasing, particularly among the young, and openness to faith is on the rise. Yet our nations still wrestle with division, poverty, and anxiety. Pray for hope to be restored, for the Gospel to bring healing and unity, and for many to encounter God’s love in this season of spiritual curiosity. Ask for wisdom and courage for national and local leaders, that righteousness and compassion would shape public life. Pray that this stirring would grow in volume and usher in lasting salvation, repentance, faith, baptism and transformation across every nation of these islands.

DAY 2: OUR COMMUNITIES
Pray for the presence of God to fill our towns, cities, and villages so that His name is lifted high in every place. Ask that light would overcome darkness and that the reality of God’s Kingdom would be seen in everyday life. Lift up the most vulnerable in our neighbourhoods, those facing poverty, isolation, or injustice, that they would experience practical help and deep hope. Pray for peace where there is tension, for reconciliation where there is division, and for the Church to be a sign of hope and love at the heart of every community.

DAY 3: KINGDOM IMPACT
Pray for a fresh outpouring of God’s power across our churches and communities. Ask for an increase in healings, signs, and wonders that point people to Jesus and reveal His compassion. Pray that God’s truth would shine clearly in a culture searching for meaning, cutting through confusion and cynicism with love and clarity. Ask that the Church would carry the presence of the Holy Spirit with boldness, demonstrating the good news of the Kingdom not only in words but through transformed lives and the power of the Spirit.

DAY 4: TRAINING & EQUIPPING
Pray for everyone on the Vineyard Pathway to be shaped, strengthened, and filled with the Holy Spirit. Lift up Vineyard Leadership Essentials, Vineyard Leadership College, and Vineyard Theological Training, asking that these spaces would form disciples who are both grounded in Scripture and alive to the power of the Spirit. Pray for those being trained and discipled through the Pathway and other local church programmes, that they would grow in character, clarity, and calling. Ask God to equip us as a movement to raise leaders who live out the call of God on their lives with humility and boldness, carrying the Gospel with confidence into every sphere of life and ministry.

DAY 5: WORSHIP
Pray for worship across our movement to be marked by intimacy, expectation, and the tangible presence of God. Ask that every gathering, large or small, would become a place of encounter, where people experience healing, freedom, and revelation as they draw near to him. Pray for our worship leaders, musicians, and production teams, that they would lead from lives rooted in humility and holiness. Ask God to inspire new songs from within our Churches that give voice to what he is doing among us. Pray for Vineyard Worship as they write songs, train, equip, and release worship leaders across the nations, stewarding the sound of this quiet revival and resourcing the Church to worship in spirit and in truth.

Days 6 - 10

DAY 6: COMPASSION
Pray for compassion to overflow through the Church in every town and city. Lift up ministries in your church like Growbaby, foodbanks, and community projects that meet real needs with the love of Jesus. Ask God to draw near to those facing homelessness, addiction, domestic violence, or poverty, including children and young people growing up without stability or support. Pray that our churches would be places of refuge and restoration, where people find belonging, healing, and hope. Give thanks for the proven link between active faith and improved wellbeing, and ask that God would use his Church to bring light and life to those battling anxiety, loneliness, or despair.

DAY 7: SALVATION
Pray that across our nations, hearts would open to encounter Jesus. Give thanks for the 36% of non-Christians who say they are open to experiencing him for themselves, and ask that God would meet them in power through church gatherings, conversations on the streets, workplaces, and moments of quiet searching at home. Pray for neighbours, colleagues, friends, and family members to be drawn to Christ as they read Bibles and Luke-Acts booklets shared from our Churches, and sense his presence at work in their hearts. Pray that practising Christians would grow in confidence and boldness to share their faith, moving beyond hesitation and fear. Pray for deeper discipleship and Bible confidence, as churches carry both truth and grace to a culture hungry for meaning and hope.

DAY 8: CHURCH PLANTING
Pray for a fresh wave of Church Planters and Site Pastors to be equipped, released, and sent across the UK and Ireland. Ask God to speak clearly to those he is calling to step out in faith and plant new communities of hope and renewal. Pray for courage and provision for those already planting churches, that they would see fruit and favour. In this season of growing spiritual curiosity, ask that many would respond to the call to go, bringing the presence of Jesus into unreached towns, cities, and neighbourhoods, so that new churches would be born in the very places where hearts are awakening to faith.

DAY 9: GLOBAL AND MISSIONS
Pray for Vineyard Global as the leadership passes from John and Eleanor Mumford to John and Debby Wright, with grace over every detail so the handover is as smooth as possible. Ask for financial provision to accomplish the vision they carry for the growth and development of the Vineyard across the world. Pray for mission alignment as Vineyard mission leaders work with national AVCs to strengthen governance and organisation across the movement, and for the capacity to keep pace with all the Lord is doing in many nations. Lift those serving overseas, and the persecuted Church, asking for protection, courage, welcome, and hope. Ask that every Vineyard church carry the heart of Jesus to the nations so his love crosses borders and lives are transformed.

DAY 10: WORKPLACES
Pray for the presence of God to fill every workplace across our nations. Ask that followers of Jesus would carry his character and compassion into their daily environments, leading with integrity, serving with humility, and influencing with wisdom. Pray for those caring for families, running businesses, or leading in enterprise, that their work would reflect God’s creativity and justice. Lift up those in health and social care, law, education, and government, asking that they would bring peace, fairness, and hope into the systems that shape our society. Pray also for those in the arts, entertainment, and media, that they would tell stories that reveal truth and beauty, pointing hearts toward the goodness of God.
