is a select group of
committed intercessors, connected globally by the internet
and e-mail, with a calling to intercede for "strategic level
issues impacting the Body."
SIGN is not intended to be a "catch all" prayer
chain. There are other lists that are dedicated to personal
prayer
for individuals and local groups.
SIGN addresses issues that are strategic in nature, that typically
involve regions or nations, which are global in their potential
impact.
Our Purpose is...
To intercede for strategic issues impacting
the Body on a transnational or global level. The primary purpose
of the Strategic Intercession
Global Network is to provide an effective means of communication
between intercessors for the purpose of coordinated, Spirit-led
intercessory prayer.
SIGN gathers input from reports, as well as
the prayer closets of SIGN members. Prayer targets and insights
which bear on the issues being targeted are then summarized on
www.strategicintercession.org, as well as
being sent in more frequent, detailed form to those who have become
members
of the SIGN e-mail list.
The SIGN email list members consists of individuals, as well as
groups (churches, ministries, intercession groups). The task is
to provide coordinated, targeted
posts that address significant issues and trends impacting the Body that are
typically longer term in nature, but which also include shorter term issues,
events and occurrences that bear strongly on the longer term trends.
We consider
the ministry of intercession as a part of the prophetic giftings, specifically
oriented by the description of the sons of Issachar, who were known as "men
who understood the times and knew what to do."
