A Movement of Prayer

This month we have seen God bring many new people to our Monday Night Prayer Gathering at Experience Life.  We moved out into the rink the first week in March and our attendance has been above 200 since.  Numbers for numbers sake isn't our goal, but developing an army of people who are calling out to God is.

It is obvious to myself and our leadership at Experience Life that this is not something we have put together.  I have been around the block a few times and you don't get over 200 people coming weekly to pray by sending out fliers or making announcements.  Something amazing is taking place.  God is showing up on Monday nights in a skating rink as people are humbling themselves and seeking Him.

We continue to see many first time commitments to Christ in our weekend services, we believe prayer is the catalyst that is behind what is happening.  We continue to see and hear story after story of life change in people each week.  Again as hard working and dedicated as our staff is, as incredible as our people are in serving each week, we just can't make those things happen.  Life change happens as God steps into our lives and puts His super into our natural.

Each week God gives us guidance on specific groups to pray for.  We try and pray for people in the marketplace because we believe this is a key place God can touch people.  We pray for specific ministries within our church, and we pray for felt needs in people.  In past weeks we prayed for those in the health care industry, we have prayed over our kids, we've prayed for those who have lost trust due to broken relationships in their past, we have prayed for those on the mission field.  These are a few examples of prayer items God has directed us to.

And each week we continue to hear answers to prayers we have been praying.  We continue to pray that in our day and in our time Gods name would be great among us and that He would show up in our lives with His works.
