We led a class on Street Ministry at WYI for 4 days. A guy named David said something profound. We were talking about our hopes for a person when we share Jesus with them on the street. His hope was that the person would "pay it forward". We concluded that this was as good a description as any of discipleship. Do you agree?

24/7 prayer throughout had a profound effect - consider starting this where you are. Individuals or groups pray in the same space in shifts (I've heard of one to 3 hours and occasionally more)and can leave notes with requests, praises and God's responses. Maybe start small, one 24-hour period or one week of continuous prayer. I've never heard of anyone regretting doing this. Ever.

I understand the Western Territory, USA will have corps sign up for a week and string together a full year of non-stop prayer. Get involved. Check out these sites. 24/7 Prayer
USA East 24/7 Prayer

I've never heard of anyone regretting doing this. Ever.

Matt Armstrong

We said goodbye to our War College student on Monday. Matt has lived and worshipped and served with us for almost 3 months. God used Matt in some important ways while he was here. He was fruitful in intercession and in building relationships with others. He labored (laboured) for salvation and God granted in a few lives. God bless Matt.

I'm learning about faith. Faith to enter the presence of God - a dangerous place to be, a place where you'll surely lose your life. It takes faith to believe you are made worthy to actually have an intimate audience with YHWH. It takes faith to trust His character - that He can be trusted to break you, that He will make you whole.

It takes faith to act for Him, it takes action to show your faith.

John was praying for God to provide a desk for his home and he felt God challenge him to pray more specifically, like he had heard of a missionary praying in the days of yore. So John prayed, "Lord it needs to be small, like 36", etc." That day his building's maintenance man had work to do in John's home. He left and came back asking, "John, do you need a computer desk?"

God has been answering our prayers. I'm beginning to ask bigger now and more often. You should probably do that too.

Brent (one of the Service Corps Team) and I traveled to Camp Arnold to meet with two gentlemen from Zimbabwe who are interested in moving into our neighborhood for the next year - and God provide the visas to prove it - a miracle! I was looking forward to this meeting for some time, as I had been in email contact with one of these men for almost a year. As long as StreetLevel has existed. It was like meeting an old friend in the Lord. It was great. Please pray for housing and employment.

I had the opportunity to hear two confessions last week one from a close friend and one from a stranger. Both of these believers challenged me with their openness and humility. I had to ask myself why it had been so long since I've confessed my sins to another person. It is good to confess our sins to God and to each other. It is good to trust others with our messy lives. It is good to bless each other and walk together in repentance.

This being my first time and all, I only suggested 10 Hail Marys. Can anyone tell me if that is too light for the average confession?

Ahh, church humor...
