One LORD—24 Time Zones—Countless Worshipers!

John 12:32 "But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself."

According to the official website, the "Global Day of Worship (GDW) is a call for a unified, global worship movement, to see the name of Jesus Christ lifted up throughout the earth."

No matter the denomination, worshipers of Jesus are invited to join with millions around the globe, all spending time declaring the greatness of our God.

From 7pm to 8pm in each time zone, the GDW movement hopes to lift up an unprecedented "wave of worship and adoration uniting all Believers as one Body [of Christ]."

Says the message on the GDW website:

"Utilizing 24 time zones, we will agree with and join the 24 elders, spoken of in Revelation 4, who are already worshiping Jesus around the throne. It is when the worship of Heaven meets the worship of earth that spiritual climates of nations will shift as we serve faithfully here and now in preparation for His return.

"On this day, we will not focus on asking, or petitioning the Lord. We will simply gaze upon His beauty, thank Him for His love, and declare His attributes and goodness in our lives, families, communities and nations.

"We can worship Jesus through reflective expressions of love or loud, joyful celebration. We can sing hymns and choruses or engage in free- flowing passionate worship. We were all created to love Jesus, and this event will allow us to uniquely express our love to Him in unity around the globe.

"On our website, we will stream live venues in each time zone ranging from small house gatherings of families to larger events."
