African Strategic Leadership Prayer Network

What African Strategic Leadership Prayer Network does

ASLPN is a 501c3 non-profit Christian prayer ministry founded on April 28, 2008, in response to an invitation from the Awakening America Alliance to mobilize African pastors and leaders for national revival. Operating from Cleveland, Tennessee, with a 1–10 person staff, the organization coordinates a distributed chapter network spanning approximately 11 US states (Arizona, California, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) and serves African-led churches, African diaspora congregations, the broader American church, and individual intercessors. Its mission is to bridge African and American Christian communities in unified strategic intercession for the United States.

The ministry's core offerings include weekly phone-based prayer training (Wednesday nights, 11 pm–midnight ET) and corporate prayer (Thursday nights, 9 pm ET), a 24/7 Global Prayer Force hosted in partnership with Wailing Women Worldwide (active since September 11, 2012), annual National Prayer Training Events and Solemn Assemblies in Washington DC, a "Seven Levels of Judgment" teaching framework, and a Media Teaching Library of audio/video prayer training recordings spanning 2013 through at least 2024. Technology infrastructure is intentionally minimal: toll-based conference call lines with access codes, a WordPress-based website, a Constant Contact email newsletter, and standard social channels (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter). The organization has also launched specialized programs such as a 72-Hour Intercession for Nigeria and a Global Prayer for World Harvest initiative, alongside an online Prayer Bookstore of recommended literature.

Revenue is generated entirely through tax-deductible donations processed via PayPal, Zelle, and mailed checks to a PO Box in Cleveland, TN, supplemented by a Ministry Partnership Program offering recurring monthly/quarterly pledges from individuals, churches, organizations, and corporations. ASLPN sells no products or services, maintains no disclosed pricing tiers, and has no public financials. Strategic positioning rests on a broad coalition of Pentecostal, Charismatic, and African diaspora church partners — including RCCG North America, Church of God in Christ, Christ Apostolic Church, Deeper Life Bible Church, Mountain of Fire Christian Ministries, and Awakening America Alliance — coordinated through an executive leadership team of senior pastors under National Coordinator & Executive Director Pastor Michael Obi.
