From January 11 to 18, 2026, we experienced a very powerful week of alliance prayer. Christians from different churches and generations came together to pray. We were able to pray together for various concerns, intercede for one another in prayer, and encourage one another.

This year’s theme was the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts. Various prayer stations were set up, each focusing on a different spiritual gift. The room was designed so that the cross stood in the center and streams of the Holy Spirit flowed through the room.

Every evening there was a worship and prayer meeting, and each evening different people led the worship. Time and again we saw how God touched people and met them. The moments when we prayed together for specific concerns or stood up for one another were particularly valuable.

One of the most beautiful moments was when we stood in a circle around the cross and prayed together for illnesses and concerns. It was a moment of unity, with young and old praying together.

Wednesday evening was a very powerful evening. Someone shared a testimony in which he told how he had negative thoughts about himself. When he gave this to Jesus, he experienced freedom. He encouraged others: if you struggle with such thoughts yourself, go to the cross so that others can pray for you. It was a moment when some came before God and said they had a problem and were able to give it to Jesus.

This week, we have seen that prayer has power. And that God hears our prayers. It changes people, situations, and hearts.

That is why we do not want to stop praying together, because we believe that prayer has power. For this reason, we are launching “We Pray.” This is an evening of prayer and worship that takes place on the second Thursday of every month at 7:00 p.m. at the Frutigen Prayer House. If you are hungry for prayer, then be sure to come to We Pray.
