The Daughters of Zion
Daughters of Zion is made up of women
worldwide, who meet on the first Monday of each month to
pray focused prayer for the children of the local church
community.
The Mission
We are committed to the spiritual
preservation of this generation and beyond and the spiritual
restoration of previous generations.
The Need
Committed women who will join together on
the first Monday of each month and pray focused prayer for
their children and the children of the local church and
community.
Three Priorities of Prayer
1. The salvation of our children
(Isaiah 49:25: Psalm 144:12; Isaiah 43:5-6)
2. That they take ownership of the faith at an accountable
age
(1 John 2:25-28; James 1:25)
3. That they enter into the ministry of the Lord's harvest
(Matthew 9:38)
Daughters of Zion Ideas
1. Make a prayer calendar with a different
name for each day. Concentrate on special prayer for that
particular child on their day. Send them notes of
encouragement or a prayer certificate.
2. Make a laminated Bible marker with each
child's name on them. Have a different color for each age
group. (infant, elementary, junior and senior high, adult)
Trade markers for a month to pray for different children.

The singles ladies of our church attend
Daughters of Zion prayer meetings even though they have no
children of their own to pray for. Instead, they have formed
a focus group to pray for the children and young people in
our church who have no moms to pray for them. Some come from
homes in which there is no mom present; others may be the
only one in their family to attend church. Whatever the
reason, it is important that these young people have prayer
covering too, and our single ladies give that.
We had a very special meeting this past
April, honoring our 7th year. We had 21 in attendance.
Refreshments were served; each one gave a praise report for
answered prayer's over the past seven years. As we entered
the sanctuary for prayer, we each lit a candle from a unity
candle, uniting in prayer for our children and
grandchildren. We really appreciate Daughters of Zion prayer
meeting's. It has been a real blessing to our church.
Design a special prayer request card to be
used by children and youth. Use these to pray for their
special needs at your Daughters of Zion prayer meetings.
Every few months have a “ Prayer Ride”.
Have a group of ladies drive to the various schools and have
prayer in the school parking lot.
We are excited about Daughter’s of Zion.
Our church has experienced many blessings and miracles from
binding together in prayer and fasting. Through this
valuable ministry we have drawn together as a church in
focused prayer and many in our community are responding.
Since our first published Prayer List, we have been able to
add 10 families to the list. Within the last few months, 6
backsliders have prayed through, 10 souls have been baptized
in Jesus Name and 7 have received the gift of the Holy
Ghost! What a limitless God we serve!
My son, Jason, was in a serious accident a
week ago. Another car going at a high rate of speed, pulled
in front of him, causing Jason to hit his brakes and lose
control. His car headed towards an embankment, going through
a fence, a creek, and hit a tree. A fence post went through
the window, just missing his head by 2 inches. Jason walked
away front this wreckage, with only a sprained wrist! I know
it was the prayers of the "Daughters of Zion" that put
"Angels" around him, keeping him safe. I am thanking God
that He came on the scene!
Three years ago my son backslid and turned
to alcohol and a gothic lifestyle. He started dressing all
in black, dyed his hair and eyebrows black, and would paint
his fingernails black. He was really getting heavy into
gothic. He was also drinking all the time. Then in August of
2004, God got a hold of my son and delivered him from all
that. I thank the Lord that he saved him.
After our first "official" Daughters of
Zion prayer, immediate results were evident. One lady's
daughter, husband, and child attended service the very next
Sunday. While speaking with her she said, "I woke up this
morning and just wanted to go to church today." They have
been attending Sunday services since.
We've already been in months of prayer
focused on our children and youth and have seen a dramatic
change in them! They have been renewed in the Holy Ghost and
are excited about living for God! It's been wonderful to be
a part in seeing the change!
