Subject: Men, join us for prayer in the Northwoods of Michigan!

Save the Date: October 1–3 is our Autumn Men’s Prayer Summit.

Dear Men, 


“If God can find a praying man, He can shake a nation.” So stated John Nelson Hyde, who also was known as “Praying Hyde.” Praying Hyde was a missionary to India and a man of fervent prayer and sincere dependence on Christ. While earnest in his proclamation of truth, his greatest influence was not in the pulpit but in the prayer closet were he interceded on behalf of souls. John Hyde’s legacy is inseparable from the revivals of northern India.


As we see God moving in the United States and stirring people’s hearts, we, like John Hyde, have the tremendous privilege and responsibility to participate in what God is doing through earnest prayer. Not only is it vitally important to be continuing in persistent personal prayer, but gathering for corporate prayer is powerful as well. In light of this fact, we invite you to join us for a focused time of petitioning the Lord together at the Men’s Autumn Prayer Summit in Watersmeet, MI, October 1–3, 2026. Registration is open; we are excited to see all that God has in store for this autumn’s summit! 

This event in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan will be a set-apart time for men to focus on thanksgiving and intercessory prayer. The schedule will include encouraging messages, focused prayer times, and some outdoor activities, such as walks or hiking. We are thrilled to have Roy Daniel joining us again and sharing impactful messages at the summit.  


We have intentionally planned this event to be when the fall colors normally are close to peak season, thus providing a stunning setting for the summit. The changing of the leaves in autumn is an incredible display of natural beauty. Similarly, the change that God brings in our individual lives, our families, our churches, and our communities in answer to prayer deeply encourages us and stirs awe-inspiring wonder in our hearts! 


“The true work of God begins and ends in prayer.”


John Hyde
