The Minnesota Governmental Prayer Alliance is a ministry dedicated to enlisting, encouraging and mobilizing effective Governmental Intercessors across the state of Minnesota for the purpose of seeing the will and rule of God established in the government and judicial system of the State of Minnesota and this nation.
The MNGPA in the Twin Cities meets at least monthly for corporate prayer. Details of those meetings can be found on the events calendar.

We encourage you to seek to serve those in governmental and judicial positions through effective prayer and intercession.

Will you answer the call of Governmental Intercession and begin the journey that will impact the course of history that will be charted for our state and this nation?
Governmental intercession is prayer or action that, through the authority of Christ, releases His kingdom rule and enforces His will in any given situation. This is accomplished through spiritual weapons, which operate in the spiritual realm and overcome the invisible powers of Satan's kingdom, resulting in the release of God's will and government to humans, institutions and governments. - Dutch Sheets
