The #365Watch
Each year we launch new prayer guidelines for our 24-hour, 365-day a year prayer watch.
During the month of May we also unite with other churches in Durbanville for 10 Days of Prayer as part of the D4J (Durbanville for Jesus movement) too.

More about this year's #366Watch
This is our 12th year of continuous prayer here at El Shaddai Christian Church. It was a dream back in 2012 that ignited this 365-day prayer watch ( a 366-day watch this year). The dream that was the catalyst for this powerful prayer watch was of 365 bricks in a wall facing out from Durbanville over the whole of the city and extending to the nations beyond. A call from God to us to pray every day of the year.
As we sought the Lord for direction for 2024’s prayer guidelines, he took us on a fascinating journey over a number of months and led us to Matthew 6:33 as our key scripture for the year.
‘But first seek his Kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.’ Matthew 6:33
While our specific focus may change with each year – our vision remains the same with the mandate of Matt 28:19 weaving its way through everything we do. We’re disciples who are making disciples that make disciples!
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matt 28:19
Our team provides updated, creative prayer guidelines that are prepared and will be available each quarter. We love including children in prayer and also prepare very creative guidelines for your children – these follow exactly the same focus as the adult guidelines.
There is a large 3D prophetic visual in the entrance of ESCC’s foyer, in front of Streams coffee shop. This helps to capture what it looks like to participate in a movement of prayer.
We welcome you to take a look at how the prayer mountain is growing and be encouraged. Beside making the guidelines available online, we keep printed Adult and Children’s prayer guidelines with our 3D visual. A simple way of showing you’re praying is to pop a cutout into this 3D visual each month – adding to the mountain of prayer.
Many of you are already signed up and we encourage you to keep your same day of the month. No need for you to sign up again – but if you haven’t signed up yet – click the button below to become part of click the #366watch.
