New Year's Morning Mountaintop Prayer for AZ

January 1, 2009 will mark the 10th Anniversary in which Arizona Call to Prayer annually calls for New Year's morning mountaintop Prayer to usher in the year! Along with some amazing answers to prayer in past New Year's events, it is most importantly a time of entering the new year by reaching up to God and honoring Him in this special way.


Mountaintop Prayer is a time of "on your own" prayer. It is many small and large gatherings of friends and family ushering in the New Year at sunrise on New Years Day on their favorite mountaintop or high place (for those in colder climates). This year the call is also to locations on either side of the Mexico-USA border to gather.

In Phoenix, Arizona, sunrise on New Year's morning is 7:33am. We always recommend that those going to their local mountaintops or high places scout ahead to know what may be involved on a New Year's morning. On New Year's morning plan to get positioned at least a half hour prior to sunrise to have a personal time with the Lord. Then, just before sunrise everyone gathers, usually the shofar is blown, and shouts of joy to the Lord go up. Often communion is shared. Then there is a time of intercession over the city and region for the next half hour or so. Participants may then go to breakfast together to recount their "mountaintop experience."
