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?

WYI



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.
