David and LuAnn Hickey pastor Community Christian Fellowship, Lindale, TX
Used by Permission from a Personal Note written by LuAnn Hickey:
    I believe that those pastors whom God is bringing into this "net" are those who have a kingdom vision.  As long as we can only see our flock/congregation as the focal point of what's "happening," we are shortsighted.  There's so much more (I don't have to tell you that). But before we have a motivation to connect, we must get the revelation that it's all about His kingdom coming and His will being done on earth as it is in heaven.  We get to be a part - that's the cool thing; but only a part.  Not the whole.  It's humbling and awe-inspiring all at the same time - to be a part of something so big, so overpowering against the kingdom of darkness.
    I heard the other day a perspective on our nation's military might.  The description was of one aircraft carrier and all the support vessels and all the planes and men/women being more in number and fire power than any other nation on the face of the earth.  One group like this is more than any other nation has in their entire military.  The U.S. has nine such groups.  Gives perspective, huh?  BUT, in the spirit realm, I don't believe we've gotten even a glimpse yet of the power in unity and connecting for God's purposes for the church.  It's really not about might and power but about authority. The U.S. has the guns.  The church has authority because Jesus has authority and God has chosen to highly exalt Him and give Him a name that is above every other name.  And the church is in Him.  Wow!  It's mind-boggling to me.

5.    INTERCESSOR’S ROUNDTABLE REPORT: ELGIN, IL
 

>From: "Chuck & Sheila Straka" <straka1@usexpress.net>

This is a report of the first Elgin Intercessor's Summit and Roundtable which took place at Elgin's House of Prayer in September 2002.

On Saturday, September 28 the Elgin House of Prayer for the Nations hosted a Prayer Summit and Roundtable discussion with intercessors from the Elgin area. Pastor Phil Miglioratti was our facilitator. He did an excellent job!

The purpose of this meeting was to gather various intercessors in the area for fellowship, corporate prayer, to listen and learn from each other as well as to hear what they believe God is currently saying regarding Elgin.

We began with praise and worship. Before getting into a time of discussion, Pastor Phil Miglioratti asked each of the intercessors to spend a short time alone and to focus on the book Habakkuk. Shortly after returning to the group setting, one of the ladies went into intercessory travail. Travail and how to handle it in various settings became our first topic of discussion.   

 The second major topic of discussion came when another lady shared that it was the leading of the Lord to do a word study on the word "burden". Habakkuk, states in 1:1 KJV, " The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see." Various people shared thoughts of excessive burdens, in the sense of great heaviness, and struggle of persevering even when one cannot see evidence of progress. The intercessors had a range of burdens for Elgin. There was discussion and prayer, especially on the scripture, "His yoke is easy, His burden light."

After a short break, Pastor Miglioratti asked us to divide into small groups and discuss three topics, 1. What was the word for today? 2. What is God speaking about Elgin? 3. Something about HOPE? When we shared in the larger group each had similar themes.

What was the Word for today?
    Trust God, Submit to Authority, Walk in the New and Living Way

What is God speaking about Elgin?
    Go forward, resting in Jesus

Hope?
    One intercessor had a question. What will the emerging merger, the revived church in Elgin walking in unity look like? Another intercessor had a picture in their heart of a ship moving ahead; not quite on the Lord's course but through the many trials God would redirect us onto the right course.

The last topic of discussion was communication between Pastors, intercessors and the overall body of Christ. One suggestion, considering the full schedule of Pastors, was for an intercessor to write a short letter to his/her Pastor as a means of sharing what the Lord is speaking to them. One of the men said that they prefer to share face to face with their Pastor.

At the close of the meeting, many expressed an interest in having similar roundtable discussion and prayer times in the future. It was decided that the House of Prayer would call another gathering of the Elgin intercessors in approximately 3- 6 months. There is also a vision for a Fox Valley and Regional Intercessors Summit and Roundtable.

We thank God for the entire body of Christ in Elgin. We are also thankful for those intercessors that attended the Roundtable and Summit who also diligently labor in prayer on behalf of the Body of Christ and the people who live in the City of Elgin. A special thanks to those who contributed excerpts from their notes for future reference and for this letter.

“By His Grace & For His Glory”

>From: "Barbara Bucklin" <jvptxpray@juno.com>

Networking continues in Austin. - 45 pastors prayed together for 3 days this week.

Pray for our summit on January 31-February 1 at Promiseland church. Last Sunday a prophetic word came forth there, a pastor had the interpretation and everyone was on their face for the rest of the service.

Also a new network being formed for that first compassion center we prayed about -- that redemptive gift of mercy!  And it is smack on the toughest corner in the city.  Muslim headquarters, masonic lodge, crack dealers surround the place.  Isn't God good

Blessings, Barbara

Update on the statewide prayer movement:
       The Lord has done an awesome work in the past 6 months in raising up a canopy of prayer mobilization on behalf of the state of California.

9.    CAN HOLLYWOOD BECOME "HOLY"WOOD?
>From: Wolfgang [mailto:w@hispowerportal.com]

Hollywood, CA --  More than just a play on words, Unlimited NeXtwork Group and HisPowerPortal.com have produced a landmark new video, HOLLYWOOD TRANSFORMATION, drawing the curtain to reveal the epic spiritual struggle pitting the forces of liberation versus bondage in Hollywood and the media at large.  The video is set to premiere January 11 in large-screen format at Harvest Rock Church Pasadena to mark its release.

Congenially hosted by Actor-Comedian Phil Snyder and Actress Janice Kovacek, HOLLYWOOD TRANSFORMATION is presented in a fast-paced Entertainment News Magazine style with dazzling visuals and powerful music.  The video hits the ground running, interviewing the likes of Dr. Ted Baehr, founder of the Christian Film & Television Commission, who decries the abandonment of Hollywood by the Church in decades past.

At its core HOLLYWOOD TRANSFORMATION is both a briefing and a wake-up call to the worldwide Christian community to help them understand the importance of the media's influence on the destiny of the nations and the need to pray for the movers and shakers of the industry.

The video is divided into several segments, each of which presents a different aspect of Hollywood, i.e.: the "dark side," the "light side" and the "vision."  Punctuating the segments are vignettes of passionate prayer, movingly interpreted by world-class dancers in an engagingly innovative visual style.

Regardless whether the viewer is a Christian or not, HOLLYWOOD TRANSFORMATION  will certainly make an indelible impact on the soul, imparting the insight and passion of those who are partners with the God of the Bible to see Hollywood transformed.

>From: "Cross Over Athens" <crossoverathens@integrity.com>

Bishop Eddie L. Long and several local pastors will lead a “Public Prayer Walk,” on February 13, 2003 in the Henderson Extension area of the Hancock Corridor. The prayer walk will commence at the close of the Shepherd’s Fellowship* meeting beginning at 9:15 at St. James United Methodist Church.

Bishop Long, Senior Pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia will join Rev. Kent Reynolds, of St. James United Methodist Church, Rev. Howard Conine of New Covenant Worship Center, Rev. Rufus Addison of Deliverance Temple, Rev. Jerry Hutchins of Timothy Baptist Church and Rev. Jim Burkett of Christ Life Community Church and other pastors in their efforts to revitalize troubled neighborhoods in the Athens area, beginning with the Henderson Extension area.

The upcoming “Public Prayer Walk” goal is to join as many local pastors and congregations together in prayer in preparation for the revitalization of the Henderson Extension area.  This prayer walk is tied to the larger “Pastors Uniting the Kingdom” initiative that aims to unite the Christian community along all racial and cultural lines to better the Athens area. Other components of the “Pastors Uniting the Kingdom” initiative include efforts to join many diverse congregations in worship, evangelism, unity and prayer to impact the community for the kingdom of God.

The organizing pastors’ efforts to revitalize troubled communities around Athens were bolstered this past November, when Bishop Long, speaking at the “Uniting the Kingdom” Rally at the Classic Center pledged his support and considerable resources to the project. Bishop Long pastors one of the largest congregations in the country and is world renown for his preaching and community development initiatives.

The “Public Prayer Walk” will begin around noon on the Henderson Extension, as several local pastors and their congregations walk through this neighborhood in the Hancock Corridor.

*-The Shepherd’s Fellowship is a group of Athens area pastors who meet periodically to discuss issues affecting the Christian community.  In addition, the meetings provide the pastors an opportunity to fellowship with one another.
