"In 1722, Count Ludwig von Zinzendorf established the Moravian colony called Herrnhut. Wednesday, August 13. 1773 at 11 a.m. they experienced a dramatic outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which they called 'our pentecost' at which time they established 'The Lord's Watch', a 24-hour prayer meeting which lasted 100 years! They went on to send out hundreds of missionaries, taking the gospel all around the world. This marked the birth of the modern missionary movement. In this time when there is an extraordinary outpouring of the Holy Spirit throughout the world, the Lord is calling His people to 'stand in the gap' and pray for leaders, our nation and the global ministries. 'The Lord's Watch' is a response to that call."
