We are raising up a global Iron Dome of Prayer—a 24/7 shield of intercession that covers the Contend Team as we labor, travel, and mobilize youth movements across the nations. Just as Israel’s Iron Dome defends from unseen threats, this prayer shield will stand as a supernatural defense against spiritual warfare, guarding every step, every message, and every breakthrough the Lord entrusts to us.
We are inviting trusted and seasoned intercessors in the Spirit to take their place on the wall. By committing to a 30-minute slot once or twice a week, you become part of the shield that ensures the gospel runs swiftly, unhindered, and in power. Your prayers will hold the line where we cannot. Together, we will create an unbroken canopy of intercession that surrounds our team, our families, and every mission field we touch.
Those who commit to Operation Iron Dome will be invited into a secure, private channel of communication. You’ll receive:

“There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens, and great revolutions for good or evil spring up in the vacuum created by these openings.
