National Call to Prayer for the Coronavirus
Dear Friends,
We find ourselves in an incredible time in human history. The COVID19 Virus is causing chaos in every sphere of society, with indoor gatherings in Australia now limited to 100.
Fear is gripping the hearts and minds of people everywhere, and current predictions of organisations such as the W.H.O. are dire, should this pandemic not be stopped.
This is where the Church must stand in the gap! I have a conviction that it is the time for the Church of Jesus Christ in this nation to stand united in prayer until we see this pandemic stopped.
In the last two days, I have had wonderful conversations with Australian leaders of denominations and ministries, and I have been overwhelmed by the unprecedented support and unity that has been expressed. We all agree that we should pray – regardless of our traditions – around a simple strategy which is as follows:
LAUNCHING TODAY THURSDAY 19th MARCH at 1900h [7.00 p.m.] (daily from then on)
- Pray for our nation in response to COVID19. (The 19th and 1900h is simply an effective reminder and connection).
- Partner with intercessors all across the nation who will carry a great burden of prayer through this season.
- Support a National Day of Prayer and Fasting on Sunday 29th March.
I would appreciate you communicating this Call To Prayer initiative to your church and your networks , and launching today at 1900h (no matter what time zone you are in).
Let’s stand together on the promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14 and pray in unity the promises of Psalm 91 (an interesting reverse of 19).
Here are two poignant verses within Psalm 91 that our team have been declaring:
14 “Because He loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges My name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honour him.
Warm regards,
WAYNE ALCORN
ACC NATIONAL PRESIDENT

The Australian economy is tanking. A large part of the cause is government spending, and yet Labor treasurer Jim Chalmers believes all is well. Rather than motivate businesses to build growth, Labor has chosen to further bloat the bureaucracy instead.

How much worse things get in Australia, in large measure, depends on the Labor leaders running the nation and most states. Ugly antisemitism seems doomed to simply worsen if they remain in power.

My stand is against the treatment of Israel by the Australian government and the United Nations. The Australian government would rather reward the terrorism of October 7 and has continually pushed for a two-state solution, when all the terrorists want is a one-state solution.

What is the difference between 9 November 1938 in Germany and 6 December 2024 in Melbourne? Nothing, except some 86 years. In both cases, Jewish synagogues were set alight. The truth is, Jewish people no longer feel safe in this country.

Like the early disciples, may I encourage you to keep your prayers Scripture-based and Scriptural. Declaring God’s Word in prayer will build your own faith and that of those around you, releasing His power into situations that seem completely impossible.

For Todd Carney, a player whose NRL career was as much defined by his talent on the field as his troubles off it, this new chapter offers a story of redemption that resonates deeply with anyone who believes in the power of transformation.
