Nations in revival… nations in turmoil

Speaking of all hell breaking loose (see previous post on prayer)… the terrorist attacks in Mumbia, the takeover in Congo, and in our own good old U.S - a Walmart employee trampled to death by Black Friday shoppers. Okay, maybe the shopping thing seems trivial with the other larger scale happenings in the world, [...]

How to pray… when all hell is breaking loose

In many nations, terror is breaking forth, violence is trying to overtake governments, Christians are being persecuted. So how do you pray in the midst of “hell on earth”?
I’m praying for Mexico, a country that is being overrun by a very violent drug cartel. Using fear, intimidation and violence these drug runners are literally attempting [...]

Get a Vision for Long-Distance Prayers for the Nations

Global revival - how is this going to happen? Do we all have to get on a plane and fly somewhere to see revival in the nations? Do we have to become like Iron Man and land in some nation with our weapons blazing to interrupt evil and bring God’s powerful presence? (Okay, okay [...]

Mexico - A Nation Needing Revival

Mexico is a nation that is desperately in need of revival. As I pray for this nation, I’ve broken it into smaller pieces that I can target and pray specifics for (a prayer tip for you!).

As my pastor, Steve Gray says, the fight that we’re engaged in [...]

Global outreach and a hard lesson learned - the importance of research in missions

Recently talked to a missionary who has returned home from the foreign field - early. Not just early, but beaten, disillusioned, and wounded. It’s a sad story, but hopefully this young man will get his strength and vision back and try it again from a wiser stance.
I know he didn’t haphazardly go out. It is [...]

World Prayer - The first step in touching nations

Most people think the first step in touching the nations is to GO… but really, the first step is to PRAY. You can have a powerful impact on the nations right where you’re at, whether you’re in Kansas City, Missouri or Freeport, Illinois (our old home town) or Kalamazoo, Michigan… or somewhere else in the [...]
