Nation Wide Prayer Network formally known as City Wide Prayer Network was born out of the “The Day of Pentecost” experience in 2014, which is described below. Pastor Tony Pritchette  Provision of Grace World Mission Church commissioned Dr. Lillie M. Coley, PhD to gather a prayer group prior to the 2014 Pentecost Celebration. 

Dr. Coley coordinated prayer leaders from around the city of Philadelphia to pray on the telephone. From that experience City Wide Prayer Network was born in June 2014. The Pentecost Celebration which included the City Wide Prayer Network was a total success! God spoke and said, “Keep Praying”.

Over the next few years, the City Wide Prayer Network expanded to Social Media to reach more people by “Live Streaming” to multiple social networks all at one time.  As a result of City Wide Prayer Network’s rapid success around the Nation and the World, our name had to change to Nation Wide Prayer Network(NPN). 

Thereafter, God moved on the hearts of some community leaders, such as Walter Buckley(Buck), to fund the project.  With continuous prayer and funding the mission went to the next level.  Nation Wide Prayer Network has many strong and dedicated prayer leaders and partners and reaches about 25,000 people a week and today numbers have reached up to 412,000 and beyond.  To God be the glory!!!

Please sign up today and be connected even more to your extended family of God. The Day of Pentecost- The Holy Spirit and the City Since 2009 consist of Churches, pastors, lay people, local seminaries, and judicatoral leaders from the Philadelphia region who came together in a mass effort to Celebrate the Holy Spirit.

These celebrations serve as an intentional and prayerful effort to encourage those of the Christian faith to empower themselves for a deeper and fulfilling relationship with the Holy Spirit. We thank God for our partnership between “Clergy of Philadelphia” and Palmer Theological Seminary. Some History of past celebrations includes:

A partnership between “Clergy of Philadelphia” and Palmer Theological Seminary, hosted at Palmer Theological Seminary (Wynnewood campus) and featured keynote speaker Rev.

Dr. James Forbes, former pastor of the Riverside Church of New York and author of “The Holy Spirit and Preaching”, and Bishop C. Milton Grannum, pastor of the New Covenant Church of God, served as the lecturer. Pastor Gus Roman a former pastor of Zion Baptist Church in Philadelphia, PA was also a part of the evolution of this vision.  Each thereafter the vision for Day of Pentecost continues around the City of Philadelphia and the nation. 

Nation Wide Prayer Network has expanded again to Global Wide Prayer Network summer 2022. We are thankful for God’s move on the ministry, and our loyal Prayer Leaders/Warriors who are located around the nation and globe.  

We look forward to the new adventures coming, and invite everyone to please join every week for a Global Peace Prayer to help bring global peace around the world. Stay tune for the new direction God is taking us.
