Welcome to Toledo Prays The May 7th Northwest Ohio Prayer Rally A National Day of Prayer Event

The Vision

On behalf of the MERGE Pastors Network we want to welcome you.

MERGE is a regional gathering of pastors and city leaders. We meet

monthly to worship, pray and build relational unity. As God contin-

ues to knit our hearts together we gather, pray and contend for re-

vival believing for 500k play to come to know Christ as Savior. Tole-

do Prays is an extension of our unity in Christ. Thank you for being a

part of the unity in God in bringing about in NWO and beyond.

This year, we are focused on the Kingdom. The National Day of

Prayer’s theme is PRAY GOD’s GLORY across the EARTH referencing

Habakkuk 2:14 . “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of

the Glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” We pray that the

laborers are many as the harvest is plentiful. We want to see the

Kingdom of God known to all our neighbors throughout NWO.

We also pray 1 Timothy 2:1-4 God save every soul in the greater

Toledo area. Save 500,000!

Believing for nothing less than God’s heart for the

lost and His will that none would perish (II Peter 3:9)

Actively praying for the veil to be removed off the

spiritual eyes of those that are perishing (I Corinthians

4:3-4, I Timothy 2:1-4)

There is hope of strategically coordinating out-

reach, evangelism and discipleship in our region

(Matthew 28:19)

This is a rallying cry and prayer throughout the greater

Toledo: “God save every soul in greater Toledo. Save 500,000.” This single prayer

lead to a series of citywide prayer rallies to begin crying out to God for the salva-

tion of every soul in the greater Toledo area. A prayer map of the greater Toledo

area was developed and distributed to over 1,000 believers in the area.

The body of Christ, all across greater Toledo area, is being activated in prayer for

every lost soul in our region. Things happen when the faith of a city increases.

Saturate Toledo is a strategic effort to put the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the hands of every person in our five-county region by delivering a packet containing the Jesus Video with the plan of salvation to every household in Fulton, Lucas, Ottawa, Wood and Monroe

counties. Saturate is putting feet to our prayers of reaching 500k for Christ.

500k: actively pursuing the

salvation of every soul in Greater Toledo.

MERGE—A pastor’s prayer network

MERGE is a monthly prayer gathering of pastors,

and city leaders of the Northwest Ohio Region.

We gather to seek God, be in His presence, pray,

encourage one another and walk in unity through

our unity.

MERGE meets monthly on the third Thursday from

10am to after lunch at differing host locations. More details at

mergetoledo.com. Next two meetings:

. May 21 Meeting: Mosaic, 1842 Broadway, Toledo

. June 18 Meeting: Water for Ishmael, 20 Arco Dr, Toledo

When we gather together it isn’t about “doing” but about “being” in

God’s presence and seeking Him on behalf of each other and our Region.

Our only agenda when we meet together is presence, prayer, unity, and

revival. It is our desire to hear what the Father is saying and doing and

live that out in community. God is building unity through redemptive

relationships.
