Blockbuster Prayer
This is the key prayer target that will release many of the other blessings we are praying for. We are seeking God to put together a dynamic teaching and ministry team for the high school and for Tree of Life. Agreement in prayer make a huge difference here. We notice that whenever committed Christians come to visit and pray with us, God answers more dramatically and opens more eyes to what He’s doing here. Imagine what God will do when He has a full-time team here. Pray to the limits—and beyond!
Specific Prayer Requests
- For God to keep expanding our storefront and outreach ministries in this neighborhood and beyond
- For God to establish a more peaceful environment in this neighborhood to live and work in
- For God to enable us and visiting teams to continue high school construction and landscaping

NATIONAL PRAYER STRATEGY for God to birth a reformation in Belize.
We
as the body of Christ commit ourselves to (2 Chron. 7:14):
1. Humble ourselves and let Christ have His rightful position as our Head
2. Pray and so draw closer in intimacy to His Heart
3. Seek to hear His Voice and see His Face
4. Turn from our old ways and live in His narrow and fruitful Way
When we do this, we believe that He will hear us, forgive us, change us and through His body heal the land, the society, the economy and the body politic of Belize.
Lord, we need Your grace and power to do this. We humble ourselves and
pray that You will:
1. Visit Your body with mercy, forgiveness and blessing.
2. Inhabit Your body with greater measures of the Holy Spirit, the
greatest of all gifts (Lk. 11:13; Jn. 16:7)
3. Transform Your body into a powerhouse by equipping and mobilizing all
Your members
4. Reform the nation through Your works and Your words of power through
Your body
We ask that Your visitation will bring intimacy:
1. Impregnate Your body with the purposes of Your kingdom
2. Cleanse Your body of everything that would hinder this new growth and
birth
3. Give Your body the proper nutrition of words and timely activities to
strengthen us for this birth
4. Prepare our hearts, homes, and ministries and for the new works that
this birth will bring
We know the devil will try to hinder and destroy this new birth. But He
who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. We ask the Holy
Spirit in us to move in us to (Rom. 12:21):
1. Overcome sexual immorality with sexual purity
2. Overcome family brokenness with family reconciliation
3. Overcome compulsive behavior with fasting, and addictions with
abstinence
4. Overcome discouragement with devotion
5. Overcome hopelessness with faith and miracles
6. Overcome witchcraft with worship of the one true God
7. Overcome hypocrisy with honesty
8. Overcome greed with generosity
9. Overcome corruption with integrity
10. Overcome lawlessness with faithfulness
11. Overcome violence with gentleness and peacemaking
We believe that as we overcome these evils in our lives, we will have
spiritual and moral authority to help citizens and politicians to overcome
these evils in the life of Belize. We ask God to show us how to:
1. Have solid, loving and fruitful marriages
2. Celebrate holy masculinity, holy femininity and holy matrimony
3. Train up our children in the ways of the Lord, to be the leaders of our
future.
4. Use our schools to teach the truth and prepare students for their
responsibilities to God, family, community, workplace, nation and world.
5. Demonstrate kingdom values in all our relationships and activities
6. Practice the righteousness that exalts a nation
7. Exercise governmental authority with godly counsel, responsibility,
accountability and effectiveness
8. Fulfill the unique destiny our Founding Father in heaven gave us as an
independent nation under God.
