THE POWER OF PRAYER IN NATIONAL TRANSFORMATION

Welcome to VIVA SUNDAY—we’re so glad to have you with us! Whether you’re joining us in person or tuning in online, there’s something powerful about gathering together as a church family to worship, grow, and hear the Word of God. Today, Lead Pastor Frank Seixas continues our Kingdom Culture series with a timely and challenging message titled “The Power of Prayer in National Transformation.” In a time when our world is in desperate need of hope, peace, and revival, we’re reminded that prayer is not just personal—it’s powerful enough to shift nations.

This message takes us deep into the heart of Scripture and history—looking at moments when people came together in humility, unity, and bold faith to pray, and God moved in miraculous ways. From Daniel’s intercession for Israel, to Esther’s courage through fasting, to Jehoshaphat’s worship-driven victory, and even the early church’s prayer during persecution—we see that when God’s people pray, heaven responds. Pastor Frank also reflects on key modern-day moments of prayer that shifted the course of nations, like the Hebrides Revival, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the civil rights movement.

At VIVA CHURCH, we believe we’re called to be a people who pray with boldness, vision, and unity. This is more than a message—it’s a call to action. Let’s become a church that contends for our nation, our city, and our generation. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe so you don’t miss a moment of what God is doing through VIVA! 🙏🔥

  • Pastor Frank Seixas

    I am Frank the co-lead Pastor and with my wife Chris are the founders of VIVA Church in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. I first came to Canada in 1987, following God’s call to permanently move from Brazil to Canada. In August 1992, I started VIVA Church. In January 1994, I married Chris, and in 1996, I graduated from the Nazarene Bible College of Canada. Later I was awarded Doctor of Divinity (DDiv) from Canada Christian College in 2022.

    With a vision to reach people for Jesus, VIVA Church has grown to become a positive influence for the Kingdom, not only in Oshawa but also by planting churches internationally in countries like Cambodia and Uganda. Beyond our work at the local church, I (Frank) serve the body of Christ on the boards of other ministries and churches, and I am part of the Apostolic Ministry of MFI-Canada. I also travel to speak at conferences and many churches around the world.

    Chris and I have dedicated more than 30 years to serving at VIVA Church, witnessing the salvation and growth of many. We have been blessed with two beautiful daughters: Leticia, our youngest, and Gabriella, our oldest, who is married to Matheus.
