Global Day of Prayer
City-Wide Organizational Consideration
GDP City-Wide Board
The purpose of the Board is to bring a much broader ownership of this effort than the steering team alone could provide, must include key/strategic leadership that might not be able to serve on a steering team due other responsibilities, but whose input is needful to help define and shape this initiative so it is truly representative of the city-wide Christian community. The intent is that those on this Board represent whole relational networks of people in the Christian Community with diverse political ideology, racial/cultural heritage, age/generation, gender, denominational distinction, etc. so that planning and coordinating may be further refined, weighed, and guided at a city-level.

GDP Anchor Churches:
This is a list to be defined and submitted to the Board for refining that would include some of the key/influential pastors and congregations of diverse representation that should be pursued to provide strong and leadership – possibly as host sites during the 10 days of prayer and/or as part of the 20-30 pastors that would be included in the leading of prayer during the stadium event, etc.
GDP Participating Churches and Organizations:
This would be a list of all contacts and congregations to provide details, information, and invitation to join the Christian community in this unique opportunity of corporate prayer, and compassion efforts in our community.
