WHAT IS THE MINISTRY “GIDEONS 24 HOURS BEFORE THE LORD”

It is a prophetic Ministry that has as its objective:  to raise an army of intercessors, worshipers and preachers of the Word (Evangelists), in continuous intercession (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), in the Church of the Lord spread throughout the whole earth, to prepare the “Bride of the Lamb” for the rapture, according to the Word in Ephesians 5: 25-27.

IT HAS AS ITS MOTTO:

PRAYER IN HOLINESS

WORSHIP IN HOLINESS

PREACHING THE WORD IN HOLINESS

The Ministry is composed of three pillars – 24 hours before the Lord:

1st Pillar: “Gideons of Prayer” (functioning since 1st April 2003)

2nd Pillar: “Gideons of worship” (in the process of being implemented)

3rd Pillar: “Gideons of Preaching the Word” (in the process of being implemented)

HOLINESS TO THE LORD

Each Gideon should come into the presence of God in holiness, in other words, putting his life daily before the Lord, constantly washing it in the Blood of the Lamb.

1 John 2:1; James 5:16

The Gideon should live a life of continuous communion and seek the presence of God, through daily prayer and reading of the Word.

1 Thess. 5:17; Ps. 119:105

MINISTRY GIDEONS OF PRAYER

The first group of 300 intercessors was established at Lagoinha Baptist Church in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The members of the group rotate, every hour, each Gideon praying individually, in a premise of the church called “the Gideons Tower of Prayer”.

The duration of the Ministry is uncertain, i.e. it is until the Lord’s return.

The Ministry is interdenominational, giving logistic support to the churches that are an integral part of this intercession 24 hours a day, without interference in their pastoral or denominational administration.
