The Dutchess County "Prayer Wall"

From 2006 through 2009, Pray Dutchess led a 24-hour prayer vigil (or a Prayer Wall) for revival in Dutchess County. "I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest" (Isaiah 62:6). Our Prayer Wall is currently on hiatus. However, if you're thinking about starting a Prayer Wall in your own county, you may find the information on this web site helpful.

How many people does it take to make up a Prayer Wall?
It takes approximately 350 people to complete a Prayer Wall, praying round-the-clock in weekly 30-minute increments from the comfort of their home or church. "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you" (Matthew 6:6).

Those who stand with as watchmen on the Wall would commit to pray for 30 minutes once a week. If you're starting a Prayer Wall in your own county, you might consider letting people:

  • sign up to pray individually
  • sign up to pray along with a prayer partner
  • sign their prayer group up for a timeslot
