Glory to God! 600 hundred people from 27 countries, gathered at Milan Italy to pray and ask the Lord for Europe's season of visitation. Both Arab speaking and local Europeans were together echoing Isaiah's cry (64:1), that He will tend the heavens & come down, that those mountains challenging Europe will be shaken, and that the Lord Himself will restore Europe's true calling as the bride of Christ.

The Rise-Up now conference of prayer, prophesied Isaiah 60:1-2 over Europe, that darkness will gradually be replaced by the light of Jesus. Prophetic acts took place between European leaders andArab speaking participants. They welcomed the Arabs as missionaries coming back to the European church to preach the gospel as the winds of the Holy Spirit now are blowing back from the Middle East to the EU. In love and humility, they welcomed each other and in that atmosphere the Lord's presence was almost tangible, with tears in many eyes..

Three seminars were held:

1. “How to transform your church into a center for the refugees" 2. " Revival of the European youth. What's needed??" 3. Unmasking antichrist lies and ideology" The feedback from the three seminars was amazing!

The praise & worship in English, German & Arabic was such a joyful, heavenly mix. We prayed "FROM MALAGA TO OSLO and FROM LISBON TO MOSCOW .. EUROPE FOR CHRIST"...

Outcomes; 

At the end, many European Pastor's and leaders asked the Arabs to help with the refugee challenge, and the Christian Arabs responded by giving two weeks to one month to go preach the gospel and help the European churches gather the Syrian-Iraqi ripe harvest. Now several pastors, both Europeans and Arabs, heard the Lord's call for connecting together for this Kairos moment. They decided to follow up with a networking meeting soon.

Several prayer networks were born as people prayed together for their countries and cities. A seed of hope has been planted in each one's heart, a vision of EU4C is gaining more grounds than the previous three years in localized countries it's becoming continental. 

Please join us in the Northern European prayer summit at Stockholm Sweden from 25-27/11/2016 and to register pls use www.riseup-now.com. 

On Tuesday, June 14, following the monthly prayer leaders meeting at FRC, several of us went to the National Press Club, where Phil Haney, our friend, fellow intercessor, Bible teacher, scientist, longtime investigator for the Department of Homeland Security (ret.), and whistleblower, told the story behind his new book See Something, Say Nothing (Available on Amazon, etc.). It was a remarkable press conference. 

Standing with and speaking on Phil’s behalf were former Congresswoman Michele Bachman, Louie Gohmert, former Inspector General for the Department of Defense Joseph Smith, A former colleague at Homeland Security who had firsthand knowledge of Phil’s work at the Department.

Phil’s book, may be used of the Lord to expose the warped policies that have tied the hands of our federal law enforcement agencies from protecting the American people from Islamic terrorists, if we pray.  Haney, while a career officer at DHS had constructed a database of information that connected the dots between suspected terrorists, and their supporters, and mosques across the nation that have harbored terrorists or who through their teaching foment terrorism.

As a result of State Department intervention, and policies rewritten with the help of Muslim Brotherhood actors, years’ worth of Haney’s work was intentionally destroyed in the name of the Muslim’s religious freedom and civil rights. Had the data remained, and had the intelligence community had access to it, the Boston Bombing and the San Bernardo Massacre may have been prevented. If he had not been stopped, Haney’s work may have contributed to the prevention of the Orlando Massacre.

Fortunately, Phil Haney, takes shorthand and kept a detailed record of his work at DHS and or the shocking intervention of the administration to  prevent him from doing and finishing his work.  I believe his work will be of great help to future administrations when they finally face the reality of what we have done in denying the Jihadi war that has been declared against America.

Please take time to see the video and parts linked below. And feel free to pass this on to supportive friends, especially those whom you know will be moved to pray for Phil and Francesca, and the success of the book and other efforts to bring truth to America.

The International Prayer Council, a team of 25 leaders of major regional and international prayer initiatives and movements and who together lead International Prayer Connect, has decided to call those who lead prayer networks and ministries at the national, regional and international level together for a unique time in the presence of the Lord for united prayer, learning from one another, and planning strategies for the future of the international prayer movement.

This will be the first time we have met in this way since the launch of the IPC, a network of prayer networks that was conceived just after 9/11 in 2001 and formally launched by international prayer leadership in 2002. It was called “Globalizing Prayer, Transforming our World”. Almost 300 prayer network and ministry leaders gathered near Cape Town, South Africa, to connect with the Lord and one another across the nations. It was a magnificent time of establishing relationships and regional networks that continue to be used by God to bring transformation to our world. This is the link to the video if you have not seen it. IPC Prayer Globalizing Prayer Transforming Our World https://youtu.be/5ZYVFLML1sU

We will gather at Herrnhut, the Moravian center for prayer and mission that was the site of revival in the 1700s and the beginning of a 24/7 prayer chain that was used of God to send out the first Protestant missionaries to the unreached peoples around the world. Indeed, in accordance with the Moravian watchword, 'May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of his suffering'

For this reason, we plan to include some key mission leaders who can share the status of mission to the unreached peoples of our day along with up to date information and research so that we can see a closer, more integrated linking of the prayer and mission movements . That is so crucial to bring back the King. Jesus said that He would not return until all the nations (ethne= ethnic groups) have had the gospel of the Kingdom proclaimed as a witness to them (Matthew 24:14). It is therefore crucial that these movements connect more deeply and purposefully.

A related emphasis will be on strategic level prayer for the breaking of strongholds that hinder people from seeing the light of the glory of Christ and that represent barriers both to the spread of the Gospel and social and political transformation.

We will also give a major focus to the Next Generation, the raising up of youth and children through prayer and those initiatives that currently focus on them.

There will be times of waiting on the Lord together with a prophetic sensitivity to what He is saying to the prayer movement of our day and how we can move forward together into that desired future He has for us as brothers and sisters in Christ. We will learn about various models of prayer ministry that He is blessing around the world and will have time to develop strategic plans together in His presence, much as we did at the launch of the IPC in 2002 when almost 300 prayer network leaders gathered near Cape Town, South Africa.

Please note. You may have already heard about another gathering to be held at Herrnhut focusing on prayer watches that will happen three months after the IPC gathering. So there is no confusion and misunderstanding, it is not connected with the IPC; however, they are fellow ministry people and friends that we pray they will have a blessed and fruitful event as well.

Please do pray about coming to Herrnhut, May 8-11, and mark your calendar for next year. We will fly into Prague, the Czech Republic, and have buses arranged to take us all to SE Germany where Herrnhut is located. More details will be forthcoming in the next couple of months.

• The New Wave is flowing! This time it reached a high water mark as many of you were praying for the recent Global Proclamation Congress for Pastoral Trainers in Bangkok, Thailand, June 15-22. We felt those prayers in powerful ways as 2,573 delegates gathered onsite representing 101 of the 112 registered nations. 872 more wanted to attend but in some cases were denied visas after multiple attempts. But many of these and others will be part of the GProCongress community going forward as the Congress was simply the launch of a larger initiative to connect, unite and strengthen the 2.2+ million pastors serving Christ’s Church around the world. Lausanne, the WEA, CRU and several other groups were global advocates and collaborators for this historic gathering. Prayer became the priority for the Congress as our first evening plenary session focused solely on praise and prayer. Daniel Pandji, who helped lead the World Prayer Assembly in Indonesia, was asked to facilitate this special evening. He asked me to join him as an East West expression of the global prayer movement. Dr. Leslie Keegel from Sri Lanka also led in prayer as well as Pastor Kosum who chairs Thailand National Prayer Network. The night felt like a reboot of the World Prayer Assembly as about 200 Indonesian leaders and many others from around the world participated. 

• Of the many global mission and prayer gatherings I’ve attended, there has never been the levels of Kingdom connections that took place in Bangkok. Delegate after delegate commented on how God had connected them in amazing ways with new friends and ministry colleagues for the advance of His Kingdom. Because the delegates represented pastoral trainers at both the formal (think seminary and Bible colleges) as well as the informal (think church planting networks in places like China), the potential to impact the health of the global Church was significant. I’m convinced your prayers and those of the delegates and their Personal Intercessory Teams, including our amazing on-site prayer team, caused this incredible outpouring of God’s Spirit, His favor and His grace on the Congress. We also watched as prayer leaders and networks came together, including a key statewide prayer leaders from Bangalore, India, who shared with Daniel how they are implementing the “My Home” concept across their state.

• Our convener, Dr. Ramesh Richard, likes to says, “Healthy pastors produce healthy churches and healthy churches produce healthy communities.” But we know that, “Praying pastors are healthy pastors.” This was the specific focus you helped bring to the Congress as our GProCongress Prayer Working Group was tasked with helping to create a “culture of praise and prayer” in both the personal and corporate lives of the pastoral trainers and the tens of thousands of pastors they will mentor. Several of you are part of this Prayer Working Group. It is our hope that many more will join us as we work to identify the best prayer catalysts, tactics, practices and resources to help the global pastoral community embrace prayer as the first priority in their personal and corporate ministry lives. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your prayers for the Congress. Thank you for all you are doing to advance a culture of prayer around the world. Let’s continue to pray that God would pour our His grace and favor upon pastoral trainers and pastors - so that His global Church would be known as a house of prayer for all nations. Here’s a few pictures and one small link for you to view the Congress activity.
