The Lord is doing much in these days here in Brussels. LifePoint Brussels is beginning to get traction in many areas around our community. I wish I could report to you we were in public services and many were surrendering to Christ today. I believe this will happen in due time, but we are not there yet.
I need to ask you to consider joining us for what I believe will be some of the most important work that will happen in Brussels. It will not be the only work, but certainly some of the most crucial and important to happen.
- Samuel Zwemer, a missionary of old, is quoted as saying, “the history of missions, is the history of answered prayer.”
- Oswald Chambers has written, “Prayer is not preparation for the work. Prayer is the work.”
- In the 1700′s the Moravian communities committed themselves to an hour of intercessory prayer for the work of world evangelism.
- The Haystack Prayer movement is said by some to be the beginning of the modern mission movement in the United States.
But these are not the only examples of how prayer has moved people into a season of great mission and evangelistic movement. In Acts 13 the Antioch church was praying and the Holy Spirit commanded them to set aside Paul and Barnabas by laying on of hands and they were sent to the Gentiles. From this time of prayer we see the movement of the Gospel through out the book of Acts.
Even in our own church, LifePoint Church, we have seen God move when we commit to praying and seeking after Him and His plans. In 2004 and 2008 after times of prayer and fasting during our Sacred Gathering times God sent many of our people to the “ends of the Earth” and at the same time brought the “ends of the Earth” to Smyrna.
With this background I am asking you to join us in prayer for what God is doing today and will do in the future through LifePoint Brussels.
I am asking you to commit to praying with us on the First Thursday of each month for 30 minutes between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm.
We will send you a prayer guide with Scripture passages each month before the day we all pray together so we can pray in a directed way toward the same goals. There will be Scripture passages we ask you to remember as you pray and also specific request. We are asking you to pick a 30 minute time section during the 12 hours and let us know what time you are choosing so we can know you are praying also.
Please leave a comment stating which 30 minute time slot in which you will be praying.
