Joining "A network of thousands of intercessors from different denominations and cultures,
building a "wall of prayer" around Northeast Ohio"
 Under the direction of Northeast Ohio Intercession Network (NEOIN) Bay Presbyterian Church and North Olmsted Evangelical Friends Church do hereby covenant to be a part of this network with a primary goal "to build relationships with pastors, intercessors and church and ministry leaders in the body of Christ in Northeast Ohio."
We commit to pray on the 3rd Wednesday each month from 10:00-12:00 so that we are a part of praying at the same time in the city, at the north, south, east and west gates. Directions that Joshua gave in the scriptures give strong guidelines to every one doing the same thing at the same time; i.e. the march around Jericho. Our heart is to pray for the city.
Our mandate is expressed in Jer. 29:7, "Seek the peace and welfare of the city...and pray to the Lord for it, for in the welfare of the city in which you live you will have welfare.” and "the work is great and scattered...we are separated on the wall...far from one another. In whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there; our God will fight for us." Neh. 4:19-20.
 As prayer goes out from Tower City, Chardon, Cuyahoga Valley Church and Bay Presbyterian/Friends Church on the third Wednesday of every month, we believe that we are fulfilling that call to be the TRUMPET, by God's grace, rallying people to prayer for our region!
Each month NEOIN will provide us with particular prayer focuses, and we will also add emphasis that we feel are particular to the challenges and opportunities of the west gate. As time allows we will also lift up individual concerns within our gathering.
 You are invited to join us as we:
-spend time in worship to focus our hearts and minds on the Lord
-explore and try different approaches to prayer to edify and strengthen our
collective understanding of different expressions of prayer
-be confidential with matters of the heart that are brought before us
-follow the Spirit’s leading
-stay on target with requested focus for that month with attention to west
gate needs for timeframe
-seek to start and end on time
-be receptive to embracing the gifts other churches/ministries may bring
as they choose to join our efforts
