Midland Affirmation (1997) |
We, the participants of the historic Filipino North American Prayer Advance ’97 in Midland, Texas recognize the urgent call for Filipino Christian leaders in North America and around the world to gather for prayer and fasting for revival amongst the millions of Filipinos who are scattered all over the world.
We affirm the Larnaca Covenant and the Puerto Azul Declaration endorsing the Filipino International Network as a catalyst movement that will facilitate concerted prayer networks among the global Filipino diaspora.
Therefore we commit ourselves to the following:
- to pray for one another
- to mobilize our respective congregations and contacts for extra-ordinary prayer and seeking God’s face
- to initiate, encourage, and influence other Filipino North American believers to participate actively in future regional and national Prayer Advances,
- to help the Filipino Christian Diaspora to go beyond cultural lines and seek ways to love, serve, and share the Gospel to the people of their host country and to other international residing in their midst.
We, the participants of the Filipino-North American Prayer Advance ’97 make this statement of affirmation on this day, November 16, 1997.
