THE CHURCHAWAKENING

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord;

Awake as in the days of old, the generations of long

ago. (Isaiah 51:9a, NASB)

Dear Pastors and leaders,

We are calling as many G12 churches as possible to a time of in-

tercession on the 12th day, of the 12th month of the year 2012. Forthis special date we need hundreds of thousands of intercessors

that could take the time to intercede for 12 hours. Our plan is to

pray for the power of God to be released over the church and we

are seeking to reverse the work of demonic forces that are trying to

confuse the people.


3/25

We believe that this awakening will supernaturally transform the spi-

ritual atmosphere of the nations and it will be reected by both a

political and spiritual change in our countries.

We also believe, that God will bless us with abundant fruit and mul-tiplication in 2013.

As believers it is time for us to rise up as the salt of the earth to put

a stop to the corruption that is affecting society at large. This is the

reason why we ask that you diligently and earnestly mobilize the

army of people that God has entrusted you with in your local church

so that the fervent prayer of the body of Christ will go straight up to

the presence of God. We believe that He will respond by delivering

His people.

In the love of Christ,

Cesar and Claudia Castellanos
