TOLI Global Day of

Fasting and Prayer

October 24, 2023
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all people, for
kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a
peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is
good.” // 1 Timothy 2:1-3

Thank you for joining us on TOLI’s Global Day of Fasting and Prayer. We are setting
apart this day because we believe — and have experienced — that God works
powerfully through prayer. The unity of prayer can move mountains, and God has
mighty answers to our prayers. For 24 hours, the TOLI family in Kenya, Egypt, Uganda,
Ethiopia, Nicaragua, and the US are coming together to lift our requests before God.

In this guide, you’ll find prayer themes

and detailed prayer requests from our
program locations. You can use this
guide to lead you throughout the day. Or
use the sign-up link on the next page to
pray for a specific theme and hour.

Our hope is that you feel connected to

the TOLI family today. From 7-8am MT,
jump on a "TOLI family" Zoom call with
TOLI Field Staff, volunteers, and prayer warriors all around the world. For US pray-ers
based in Colorado Springs, from 6-7pm MT come to the TOLI office to break fast and
worship together. Lastly, we’ll be sharing pictures of our prayer spots throughout the day
on social media. If you’d like to participate, please tag TOLI in a post, and we’ll share it with
the whole TOLI family.

Thank you for your prayers, now and always.

in the midst of our sin and fall on Your mercy. We
