Whether it's happening across the street or across the country, check out what's happening with the Foursquare family.
The Global Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem is October 2, and 300 million believers in 175 nations are expected to come together in united prayer for this troubled, but strategic, city. Pastor Jack Hayford and Eagles’ Wings founder Robert Stearns invite the Foursquare family to join the prayer efforts for this important city and its people.
The latest statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Pew Research Center reveal that over 90 percent of our nation’s growth in the past decade comes from racial and ethnic minorities. And though this may pose new challenges to ministry, Foursquare leaders see this as one of the greatest opportunities the church has ever had to spread the gospel.
A new Barna report released this fall reveals the answers of average Americans when asked what they perceived were the top positive—as well as the top negative—contributions of Christianity in the U.S. Rod Koop, national facilitator of church health and multiplication for The Foursquare Church, provides an insightful, practical take on the study.
In January, The Foursquare Church will unite with believers across the nation in a 21-day prayer focus to contend for revival, an annual initiative facilitated by the Awakening America Alliance. Those who register for the event online will receive daily devotions via e-mail during the 21-day vigil.

For those who left Christianity, “feeling disillusioned with church and religion” was a top reason.
