A Sacred Tradition of Unity and Prayer
The Annual Prayer Week remains one h0
the most cherished traditions of CAN in Ijebu-Ode. For decades, it has served as a spiritual rallying point where believers set aside denominational differences to seek God with one voice. Rooted in prayer, fasting, worship, and the Word, the event reflects CAN’s commitment to spiritual leadership and communal harmony.
The 2026 edition built upon this rich heritage, focusing on restoration—spiritual, moral, economic, and societal. In a time marked by global uncertainty and local challenges, the theme resonated deeply with participants, offering renewed hope that God remains faithful to restore lost glory, heal broken lives, and renew communities.
“My Year of Restoration” — A Message of Hope
Throughout the prayer week, ministers of God emphasized restoration as a divine promise, drawing from biblical accounts of renewal, recompense, and revival. Messages encouraged believers to trust God for personal breakthroughs, restored families, renewed faith, and societal transformation.
Special prayer sessions were dedicated to:

Families and youth
Peace and development in Ijebu-Ode
Ogun State and Nigeria at large
The atmosphere across the venues was charged with fervent prayers, heartfelt worship, and prophetic declarations, reinforcing the belief that 2026 would indeed mark a season of divine turnaround.
The Role of Host Families
A unique and admirable feature of the CAN Ijebu-Ode Prayer Week is the involvement of host families, who open their homes and facilities to support the program. These families play a vital role in sustaining the tradition of hospitality that has become synonymous with the event.
During the 2026 Prayer Week, host families provided warm reception, logistical support, and an atmosphere of love and unity for ministers, leaders, and participants. Their selfless service reflected Christian values in action and strengthened bonds within the body of Christ.
CAN leadership commended these families for their generosity, noting that their contributions go beyond physical hosting—they serve as pillars of encouragement and unity within the Christian community.
Strengthening Community and Faith

The event concluded with thanksgiving prayers and declarations of restoration over individuals, families, churches, and the city of Ijebu-Ode. Participants departed with renewed faith, strengthened hope, and a collective resolve to live out the values of love, service, and righteousness.
Looking Ahead

With God as the ultimate restorer, the Association remains committed to its calling—guiding the Church, blessing the community, and uplifting the nation.
