"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." - Heb 10:24

This is the first in a weekly series of blog posts calling for leaders everywhere to unite in prayer for specific needs. Join with us in bringing these requests before the Throne of Grace.

Catalyst is called to minister to leaders in the Church. We are passionate about gathering leaders to encourage them, build them up, train, challenge and inspire them. Several of our friends & partners are working on gathering Christ's Body to edify, challenge and inspire. Here are a few. Please pray that God will work powerfully through these gatherings to build His Kingdom:

Louie & Shelley Giglio - Passion // They have a lot going on right now. Between the World Tour, Passion City Church & Passion 2011, they've got a lot on their plate. Pray that God multiplies their work, and uses their conference to truly impact and transform the minds and hearts of thousands of college students.

Ben Arment - Story // The Story conference is in it's second year & already sold out! Pray that God works through this conference to inspire & inject creativity into the Church.

Perry Noble & NewSpring Staff - NewSpring Leadership Conferece // Perry's leadership conference is blowing up! Pray that God uses this conference to challeng & train new leaders.

Bill Hybels & Jim Mellado - Global Leadership Summit // Just ended last week, pray for continued impact in the hearts of attendees, and for God to continue to use this conference to mature leaders.

Brian Mosley & Marc McCartney - The Right Now Conference // Pray that God uses them to inspire leaders to lead beyond the walls of their churches.

Mark Driscoll & Darren Patrick - Acts 29 conferences // The Acts 29 Network is hosting dozens of events this year. Pray that God uses them to strengthen & encourage church planters around the world.

Pray that God uses these and many other gatherings for our mutual encouragement & edification, that He may be glorified, that we may be minimized, and that He would free our rebellious hearts to trust Him & obey.
