Is your church interested in helping complete the Canopy?
Learn About Joining the CanopyThe WNY Canopy of Prayer is a regional prayer covering created through churches across Western New York. Each participating church commits to cover one recurring weekday each month in prayer, with individuals praying throughout that day. Together, churches help establish a continual canopy of prayer over our region.
One Prayer Strategy
The WNY Canopy of Prayer and Pray 716 are connected parts of the 716 Prayer Blueprint.
The Canopy provides the prayer covering through the churches. Pray 716 mobilizes the prayer army—individual believers joining a daily rhythm of prayer, gathering for prayer and worship, praying for regional needs, and covering streets and schools in prayer.
The churches provide the covering. Pray 716 mobilizes the prayer army. Together, we are creating a culture of united prayer across Western New York.
