10 Days of Prayer Boerne
The church was born out of a 10-day prayer meeting in an upper room. It was the culmination of a series of events in AD 33 that correspond to the Spring appointments of Leviticus 23. The outcome has been an outpouring of God's Spirit that has gone from Jerusalem to every nation. In September 2026, nearly 2000 years later, churches of 70 nations will gather in a global upper room to seek God's face during the Autumn appointments of Leviticus 23.
We invite you to 10 Days of Prayer during the Days of Awe. From Sounding the Shofar until the Day of Atonement, we pray for the salvation of Israel and the nations.
Join the Church of Boerne for 10 Days of Prayer each evening September 11 through September 20, 2026. As one church, let's seek God's face, intercede for unreached people, and pray for Messiah's soon coming.
Stay tuned for updates as the days approach.

Why Pray
 Awakening to God is the most transforming experience of life. Some come to God as children, some as teens, some as adults — all who come, come because they have come to the end of self-reliance. Each comes in a moment of insight. Some come to God, then wander off, then return when ambitions, people, or circumstances fail. They do.
Awakening to God is the most transforming experience of life. Some come to God as children, some as teens, some as adults — all who come, come because they have come to the end of self-reliance. Each comes in a moment of insight. Some come to God, then wander off, then return when ambitions, people, or circumstances fail. They do.
In awakening to God, I realize at once where I came from, why I am here, where I am going. I come to God. I come alone. Calling on God is my personal act. Just as being bodily born into the world was my individual experience, my being reborn spiritually into God's world is my individual act — I call to God. I choose God, alone, I draw near to God, alone, I commit to God, alone. In coming to God, I am born again. It's then I discover the true nature of God, and I know I'll never be alone again.
Meeting God is the most personal experience of life, an encounter that proves I was made in God's image — the god who made all, made me, is personal, like me.
As God's child, born anew, I realize I'm not alone. God is with me. I pray in God's presence, because I know when I pray, He hears me, and I hear Him.
As God's children, born anew, we realize we're not alone. God has brought many into everlasting relationship with Him. We gather with others who, like us, have been born again. We gather because we know when we gather to pray in His presence, He hears us, and we hear Him.
We gather to pray because, when we gather, we become the answer to Jesus' prayer on the night he was delivered up as the lamb of God to take away our sins, sins that once separated us from God:
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one — I in them and you in me — so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
(John 17:20-23)
Come, join with us in prayer that we, the Church in Boerne, may be one.
