146 days until the Lilburn, GA, USA Revival Conference
Our nation's educational system was a topic of prayer. Mention was made of Christian teachers bravely facing issues in public schools, school boards, all the teaching staff, parental involvement, the children and youth, Christian schools from elementary to university.
There was a time of prayer for community leaders. If any nation is to change, it must begin at the local level, not only with prayer but with involvement. We were encouraged to pray and fast on a regular basis for some particular local leader, contacting him or her if the Lord leads, to let them know we are praying.
Ann Wiens from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, shared how a plan developed in the greater Toronto area whereby pages of the phone directory became the basis of prayer by name for over two million families living there. Pastors mobilized members of their congregations to pray for their neighbors. Evangelistic outreach followed prayer.
For a time prayer was focused on the Church. David Bryant of Concerts of Prayer, spoke of "fanning the flame" that is already being kindled across our land. "Pray, prepare, minister for revival," he challenged pastors present. Dave Gibson spoke of the "lost sense of holiness" common in our day among God's people. Holiness should permeate the whole family, he urged, that together they might be "salt and light" in the community. "Purify our hearts; kindle our love" is a needed prayer. -Lois J. Stucky
