40 Days of Love
What does God want us to do together that we can’t do apart?
What is 40 Days of Love?
40 Days of Love is a prayer initiative that motivates people and communities to love, pray, and care for those around them.
Prayer
Choose a few people you already know, whether neighbors, coworkers, friends, or family, and pray for them by name every day. Ask God to soften hearts and open doors, including your own.
Care
Move from praying to loving in tangible ways. A meal, a hand with a need, encouragement, time. People become open to the message of Jesus once they have first been genuinely loved.
Share
As trust grows, look for natural, Spirit-led moments to tell your story and share the Good News. Then invite those who respond into community so they keep growing.
Get Access to the Guide
The daily guide carries you through all forty days, on your own or with your group.
Three ways to join the forty days
- On your own. Pick your people, get the guide, and start praying tomorrow morning.
- With your small group. Walk the forty days together and talk each week about what you are seeing.
- Across your church or city. DNI helps churches and ministries run 40 Days of Love together as one community wide campaign.
