A Call to Intercession

Thirteen years ago, a couple by the names of Joe and Kathy Amos heard the call of God for their city, Canton, Mississippi. They received instructions from God to first lay a foundation of prayer and got involved with prayer groups around the city and used spiritual mapping which gave them target areas of principalities and demonic strongholds for intercession and warfare. After five years of praying, The Lord released them to host a citywide week of transformation called "Blessing Canton Week".   The concept of Blessing Canton Week derived from a great friend Mel Ponder who was mayor of Destin, FL at that time. Every year, Mel led his city in a week of blessing the fleet where boats from all over the world would come to their beach to receive a priestly blessing. Years later they took this event into their cities and began to bless schools, families, community leaders, churches and more!   Blessing Canton Week City Transformation Revival took place on the Canton Square in the Courtyard where the big tent would draw people from around the city with prayer, praise & worship and preaching from pastors and ministers from various denominations. Community leaders, governmental leaders, educational leaders all played a role in sharing hope with the community. Souls were saved. People were healed! Over $2,000.00 of the offerings went into the City of Canton's budget to help needy families.  Today, Joe and Kathy have stepped out in faith with a broader vision to continue what they started in their hometown with "City Calling" and take it to the nations of the world. The beauty of City Calling is helping others to redefine their purpose and calling and how it works for the city of which they have been called to live.
