Organising a Night Watch
- Share with your leadership team the vision to hold a Night watch.
- Share with the congregation the vision and teach on the subject.
- If there isn’t a prayer culture, you might not get an immediate buy-in.
- Go with the will by having a sense of those wanting a night vigil.
- If you don’t have your own building. Start with a half night of prayer, which ends within the time stipulated by your landlord.
- If you have your own building, set a date and time and create momentum and anticipation towards the day.
- It is okay to be scared silly about starting something you haven’t done before.
- Lean on the Lord and allow Him by His Spirit to strengthen you.
- Determine the number of hours and allocate a leader to take an hour each.
- This spreads the load or weight of the meeting across the team.
- Involve the worship team and give them time slots to minister.
- Pray together as a team regularly towards the day and reflect together about the theme and the emerging prayer points.
- Invite other experienced Intercessors, if you know any, to support the meeting without hijacking the event.
- Hand everything over to God and watch Him surprise you!
