A Time of Travail: Philly Edition - Prayer Gathering
Advertisement
On January 17th, 2026, we are coming together as the Body of Christ to pray and intercede for the city of Philadelphia, the region, the United States, and the nations of this world.
A Time to Travail - Prayer Gathering
A safe space for intercessors & believers to unite in prayer.
🙏 Seek God's heart together
📖 Rooted in Matthew 26:41 | John 16:21 | Galatians 4:19
🌃 Pray for the city, region, nation, world & whatever God puts on our heart
❤️ All streams of the body welcome
💰 NO OFFERING | Spirit-led
As we enter this new year, join us in watching and praying for God's will over Philadelphia and beyond.
The Why
"What is A Time to Travail?
Travail is a safe, Spirit-led gathering space for intercessors and believers from all streams of the body of Christ to unite in prayer.
Our Foundation:
Rooted in Matthew 26:41, John 16:21, and Galatians 4:19, where Jesus instructs us to 'watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation,' Travail is our response to that call—a place to remain spiritually vigilant and intercede together.
Our Purpose:
We gather to seek God's heart and pray His will over:
• Individuals who need a breakthrough
• The body of Christ and the local church
• Philadelphia and our surrounding communities
• The region, the nation, and the world
Our Approach:
There's no offering. No rigid agenda. No performance. Just believers coming together to pray, listen, and follow the Holy Spirit's leading. We create a safe space where intercessors can freely pray God's heart without limitation.
Why Now:
As we enter this new year, we believe God is calling His people to united, fervent prayer. Travail is where that happens—where diverse believers become one voice seeking the Father's will for our city and beyond."
We will be praying via Facebook for 21 days, beginning on December 28th. These 21 days of prayer will culminate with “A Time to Travail - Philly Edition” on January 17th at
