About the Global Watch
The Need
As times intensify, a necessary shift in the body of Christ is now rising in the nations. In response to the challenges today, a grassroots mobilization of prayer is taking place. People are beginning to realize the need to collaborate and to stand shoulder to shoulder. Starting with our own families, churches, to neighborhoods and on to the nations, Watchmen are being called to build the walls of prayer.
Nehemiah 4:19-20 states it well: “The work is great and extensive and we are separated far from one another on the wall. Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there, Our God will fight for us!” How can we respond to the trumpet if we do not know where it is?
As such, a grassroots movement of not only worship/prayer but building community impacting culture is underway. Consequently, a culture of corporate prayer in a community is rising. In fact, it was Count Nicholas von Zinzendorf, from Herrnhut, Germany who said, “There is no Christianity without community.[1]” The Global Watch vision carries the mandate to build a culture of prayer and community leading to transformation and revival.

The History
The Global Watch, though new in its formation, has carried a long history marked by God’s gracious interventions and confirmations. Birthed in an open vision of 9/11 in October 2000, the construct and context of what a Global Watch looks like has been a journey marked by encounters and “Only God could do” moments. Now, two decades later, God’s care-filled wisdom has removed the stumbling blocks and has opened vistas of revelation for such an entity to come into being. The construct of this Watch carries the spiritual DNA of Herrnhut, Germany. Herrnhut means the "Lord's Watch" and was the sight of an outpouring some call the "2nd Pentecost" in 1727 resulting in over 100 years of 24/7 prayer and unprecedented missions movement. Participation in the "Global Watch" does not interfere with personal ministry call, established ministry or church leadership structures. Rather, the construct protects and builds every family participating, much like in Nehemiah's time when everyone building had a "Mind to work," Nehemiah 4:6. In building the walls of prayer across the nations, we are building an infrastructure that will go beyond our years to establish global participation as God rouses His Body to become the Bride. Those participating will be part of God's plan to usher in the end-time harvest burgeoning at the door and escort the church into its finest hour!
Who Are We?
Founders:
Drs. Frederic and Susan Rowe: The journey to establish the Global Watch began with an open vision in October, 2000. Since then the call to "Watch" has led them from establishing and sustaining a prayer "Watch" locally to connecting with others statewide, into the City of David in Jerusalem, and into nations. More recently, they have discovered generational roots to the outpouring of God's Spirit in Herrnhut, Germany. The values of the Moravian lampstand, community in prayer and missions, has led them towards a "Watchman Call" to re-dig the wells of revival in Herrnhut Germany. They both carry Doctor of Medicine and Bachelor of Science degrees. Susan also carries a Bachelor of Music. Published books include: The Amos “911” Call: Apprehending Heaven in Tumultuous Times, When Mercy Triumphs over Judgment and most recently Remnant Rising: A Watchman Call to the Nations. They have both co-authored a study guide Foundations for Houses of Prayer and are co-facilitating the “Celebration” Challenge for Transform World.
