This is a blog but it is comprised of testimonies of the Lord's power at work. Why? Because this generation, like every other before it, needs the tangible power of God to believe. Joshua 24:31 says: Israel served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had experienced everything the Lord had done for Israel.
What happened during the days of Moses and Joshua? Signs and wonders. When we forget what the Lord has done, human nature has proven to revert to filling the natural hunger for God with idols. This is why David said in Psalm 77:11-12:
I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.
God has called us to accomplish many tasks and we are rising to the occasion. Our desire is to be instantly obedient to what the Lord has called us to do. In the midst of it all, we ask for and welcome your prayers - the prayers of faith!
What can you be praying for?
Fall In Love 2012 - This beautiful autumn weekend in Boone, NC will be an event filled with students and passionate believers from around the country learning the fundamentals of power evangelism. Hands on training (including treasure hunts and prophetic evangelism) will be included. Pray that all who attend get stirred with boldness and confidence to lead others to Jesus through the demonstration of the Holy Spirit's power. Pray also for those who will be encountered in our outreaches.
Immersion ASU and UNCG - Students at Appalachian State are learning about and experiencing the Holy Spirit, grace and the kingdom of God. As we pastor Immersion Church on ASU's campus, pray for the students we minister to. Pray that they would daily be aware of the opportunities for them to be missionaries on their campus. As our good friend and former intern, Richard Lambert, continues to network and meet students on UNC Greensboro's campus, pray for abundant favor with students, faculty and staff as he establishes an Immersion plant on the campus of UNCG.
Something More School of Ministry - As SMSOM launches, pray for the students. Pray they would see an increase in the supernatural power of God in all they do and that many lives would be transformed because they are hungry for more. Pray for us as we teach the classes.
Experience - Appalachian State has been the home of miracles on campus for the simple reason that we have purposed to be laborers in the harvest field rather than only praying. Our desire is to host students from around the nation to train and reveal the nature of Christ when encountering unbelievers outside the four walls of comfort (much like "Fall In Love" but more frequently). The Holy Spirit is the Comforter... probably because we will be in uncomfortable situations. As believers, we must return to the basics of the Great Commission. When we go into the world, signs and wonders confirm the message we bring (Mark 16:20). Many are hungry and the Lord has prepared a feast before us but many don't realize how to indulge in what He has prepared. Our desire is to give experience to those who are hungry so that, everywhere they go, they will know how to live full and bring guests to the table! As details come together, we ask that you pray for hunger to stir in the students who want nothing less than transformation on their campuses... and that they find us!
Thank you for your agreement, prayers and support. You are a blessing to us.
