Week of Prayer & Fasting

Friends,
 
I’m so grateful for the Week of Prayer and Fasting. On Sunday night, we had about 130 gathered via zoom, which would equal one person per church. Monday evening’s turnout was also more than 100. That’s wonderful!
 
It strikes me that this national prayer meeting, which includes a time of teaching and other contributions like testimonies and Q&A, is like a new wineskin for the new wine of the Spirit’s work in our day. When we head into our smaller breakout room times of prayer, it feels like we’re in the room with one another, saying “Amen” to each other’s sincere spontaneous prayers. God’s Spirit is uniting us.
 
I’ve joined similar prayer meetings with FM leaders from across Latin America and Asia, and even one that included FM leaders from five continents praying for one another. Enormous geographic distance, amazingly close communion!
 
If you haven’t joined in yet, please do. Invite your church members. It will make our connection to one another in the FMCIC more tangible and renew your church’s prayer life. And, by the way, the teachings that are being posted on our website each day have French subtitles, so we welcome our Quebec churches to benefit from them. The  gatherings on Tuesday and Thursday have simultaneous translation into French.
 
Lord, renew us again!
