	The Mayor said: “I'm delighted to be joining thousands of Christians of all denominations and backgrounds, united in common purpose in the most important act of Christian worship - the act of prayer. So much of the good that is done in London is done by people of faith. I salute these acts of service, and commend all those who put their faith in action to effect positive change in our city and beyond.” London Mayor Boris Johnson who attended both the West Ham and Millwall Stadium Events.
	“Global Day of Prayer is a fantastic event. It attracts a very large number of people coming together with tremendous exuberance and a very strong sense of prayer and worship as well. For me it’s the basis for future service to the community. What I want to see is more people coming to serve their communities from the starting point of prayer and worship. That’s the kind of celebration we will be taking part in at the Global Day of Prayer.” Stephen Timms MP for Eastham, Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury.
	“…people from every tribe and nation, from right across Planet Earth, their hearts and faces turned towards God in prayer – this is a vision worth pursuing.” Phil Togwell, UK National Director, 24-7prayer
	Having been involved for the last 3 years with sharing the vision of the National Day of Prayer across the UK, it is exciting to see the commitment and unity from Christians right across London who want to take the time to come and pray together for the needs of our nation and our world at this crucial time. It will be a day to remember! Jane Holloway – World Prayer Centre
	I am excited at that the Global Day of Prayer will secure effective spiritual transformation throughout the UK. Please bring your church community to Upton Park and join thousands of Christians in lifting our voices for God's blessing across the nations. Rev. Joel Edwards. (International Director for Micah Challenge)
	I am delighted to give my backing to the fourth Global Day of Prayer. I was very pleased to host participants in last year’s Day of Prayer at Downing St and since then I have followed the growing momentum of the movement with great interest. Christians across Britain and the world will be coming together once again in a spirit of fellowship and social witness. By offering prayers for your communities and nations you are continuing a long- standing Christian tradition of prayer and action for the common good and I am pleased to send my best wishes and support. Gordon Brown PM (2009)
	I was very impressed by the professional and excellent delivery in diversity at the West Ham stadium event. KICC stand solidly behind the prophetic move that is bringing the Body of Christ together and establishing the Kingdom of God. Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo, Senior Pastor, Kingsway International Christian Centre
	It is very encouraging that our Churches across a wide spectrum of cultures and backgrounds are coming together at Pentecost to pray for London, its people and their needs. I would warmly encourage my brothers and sisters in the Catholic communities across London to join us at the West Ham Football Stadium so that we can witness to our Christian faith together in this remarkable way The Rt Revd Bernard Longley, Archbishop of Birmingham
	Don’t miss out on this foretaste of heaven: ‘there before me was a great multitude from every nation, tribe, people and language standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb’. Let’s stand in the stands together. Be united at West Ham united. Kneel on sacred turf. And say the Lord’s Prayer for our capital and our world. The Rt Revd David Hawkins , B ishop of Barking, East London Chair Global Day of Prayer London
	I am thrilled that you are able to join us at West Ham United for this vital prayer event. There is something powerful about God’s people coming together to pray at such a strategic time as this. Dr Hugh Osgood, President Churches in Communities Intenrational and Co-Chair Global Day of Prayer, London
	The united prayer of the saints changes the destiny of a nation. As Senior Pastor of Jesus House, we stand shoulder to shoulder with the 24 hour prayer for London and the movement for unity organised by GDOP, London. Pastor Agu Irukwu, Executive Chairman, Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), United Kingdom.
	“The important thing from today is that all the leaders go away with that determination to come to a new place in God themselves, to impact those they lead, so that when we come back in a year’s time people have already met with God. They won’t just be carrying the torch but they’ll become the torch and from a great prayer gathering here revival fire can go out all over the nation” said Colin Urquhart, Founder of Kingdom Faith.
	Lyndon Bowring, Founder of CARE said: “Leaders are a stepping stone to congregations to the wider church in the UK. So if the leaders are on board their congregations will be led by them to bring tens of thousands I pray to Wembley Stadium in September 2012, the culmination of the Olympics to be the final word of thanksgiving and prayer for the nation.”
	Eric Brown, Administrative Bishop of the New Testament Church of God for England & Wales said: “I think it will be a marvellous thing if the whole church community will come together and bow before the presence of God and invite His divine intervention in the affairs of this nation. I would like to invite everyone to join us in filling Wembley stadium and lift up a symphony of praise to Almighty God.”
	It is with pleasure that I bring you greetings on the special day along with my good friend The Archbishop of Westminster, Cormac Murphy-O’Connor. The Global Day of Prayer is a unique united platform for prayers and peace…. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Archbishop Rowan Williams.
