>From: COPI@aol.com
> To: National Prayer Committee

More strategic developments have unfolded related to our meetings next week in Washington DC.  Please read carefully the attached email.  Then, we are asking you to help: PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR EMAIL CONSTITUENCIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  This will help insure the widest possible participation in this historic call to prayer from our Congress and the leading evangelical coalitions in our nation, including our own NPC.  THANK YOU!!
David Bryant, Chairman, National Prayer Committee

Forwarded Message from Ted Haggard, President of NAE:National Day of Prayer

The National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), America's National Prayer Committee, Mission America, the National Day of Prayer Task Force (Focus on the Family) and the Nationally Broadcast Concert of Prayer have agreed to respond to the Congressional Call for a Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer on May 1, 2003 in coordination with the National Day of Prayer activities and the Nationally Broadcast Concert of Prayer.

Because Congress called America to a day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer in the early stages of the Iraqi War, we have decided to call this day, “The National Day of Prayer: A Day of Gratitude, Fasting and Prayer.”

    Gratitude: We are celebrating the forgiveness and victory found in a personal relationship with Christ, and we are thanking God for the minimal loss of life in removing Saddam Hussein from power and for the freedom the Iraqi people now have to form their own government.

Fasting: In the Scriptures, kings were the leaders who called for a time of fasting. Today, it is often the priests who call us to fast. Congress functions as a kind of kingly figure in our culture, so we are joining with congressional members to ask all Christians to fast one meal on May 1. David humbled himself through fasting. By fasting one meal on May 1st, we as a nation are acknowledging that we are powerless and helpless without the grace and mercy of God.

Prayer: God promises to respond to believers who pray in accordance with the Scriptures. 1 Timothy 2 charges us to pray for those who are in authority so we can live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and holiness. We are calling all Christians to pray on May 1 for our leaders and for national issues so that we all might enjoy His blessings.

Time is short. This is an urgent matter! I will be sending out an NAE News Release to all religious and secular media outlets. Each of the above partners is invited to write their own News Release and distribute it as widely as possible.

Additionally, the Presidential Prayer Team has written a guide for churches and organizations to use in recognition of the National Day of Prayer. This year’s guide will be distributed to a large e-mail list with the suggestion that it be shared with others. The guide and the congressional call can be downloaded from www.presidentialprayerteam.org and www.worldpreayerteam.org.

The Senate and House bills could both be used as outlines for prayer. All partners are urged to read those documents and prepare a Christian prayer response to any and all of the prayer topics that they deem important.

It is important to note our positioning: We, as Christians, are responding to the congressional call for a Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer. This is an appeal to all citizens of the United States who believe in Christian prayer. Other religions may have their own response to the congressional call.

In Christ,
Ted Haggard, President
National Association of Evangelicals

3.    NDP BREAKTHROUGH
>From: Natlpray@aol.com

Dear NPCers:  Please continue to pray for Bob Bakke and all that is happening in preparations for the "Nationally Broadcast Concert of Prayer" on May 1.  It is simply amazing.  For example, the DC uplink will come from the studios used by Fox, CNN and others up on top of the Commerce Building, looking directly over the White House.  Also, the entire NPC in DC will be able to fully participate by closed circuit projection in the Ballroom at the Shearton Hotel.

Another example of God's provision:  As you know there will be an uplink from the prayer gatherings all across Africa that take place on the very same day as our National Day of Prayer.  As of today, we have NOT just 74 stadiums linked together by TV and radio in prayer (the stat from 2 weeks ago) but NOW nearly 150 stadiums!!  From all over the Continent!  Some stadiums are expecting as many as 90 thousand in attendance!  And in Egypt (where large Christian gatherings are illegal) nearly one million Egyptian Christians are linked together to pray through the same agenda as the stadium events will pray throughout the rest of Africa.

I wish there was time to spell out in detail the various components of the three hour live broadcast, including the very special things that will take place as we pray over the whole Iraqi situation and for our troops and for Iraqi citizens, etc.

What a joy for all of us to be together in DC for such a time of miracles and breakthroughs, not only on the logistical and programmatic side, but much more in the Heavenlies as a result of all that God does in answer to millions praying throughout our Hemisphere and across the nations of Africa and beyond.

PLEASE KEEP PRAYING GOD'S FULL PROVISION, WISDOM, PROTECTION and FAVOR WITH LEADERS--pray this especially for our own BOB BAKKE, the producer for the NBCOP and for BENNIE MOSTERT who is coordinating this explosions of stadium events in Africa.  Also pray for GREG FLESHING whose crew (FreshAir) is producing the television side, and for the leaders at MOODY NETWORK who are producing the radio side.  Pray for the uplink sites at Regent University, University of Texas and the church site in downtown Detroit, plus our site in DC.  Pray for all the technical details and equipment, that everything will be marked by the Spirit as "Holy Unto The Lord" (as Zechariah said even bells on horses would one day be, in chapter 14).

KEEP PRAYING AS WELL for Shirley Dobson, Jim Weidmann and the whole NDP Task Force and for all the ways God will get glory through the gathering on Capitol Hill plus in nearly 40,000 other NDP sites across America (including on the Capitol steps in DC late afternoon on May 1).  PRAY for the small prayer gathering planned for in the White House, too.  PRAY AS WELL for our vital meetings on Friday when the NPC sets the new direction we are to move as together we serve the national prayer movement under our new leadership.

Truly, may "righteousness exalt our nation" as the righteousness of Christ becomes the joy and passion of a Church fully revived in answer to the prayers of God's people.

David Bryant    PROCLAIM HOPE!

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

Lynn Heatly/ Prayer Command Post is coming to Elgin's House of Prayer & Regional Training Center, Sheila Straka

               A Morning with Lynn Heatly-Prayer Command Post
               At Elgin's House of Prayer & Regional Training Center                     
               270 E. Chicago Street, ( Templo Calvario ), Elgin
               Tuesday, May 13th, 9:00 - 11:00 am                        
               Praise, Prayer and Training
 
Intercession -Networking -Equipping - Communications - Healing - City Reaching - Community & Unity

Prayer Command Post is networked with many other prayer ministries in regions across the state of CA.

How Prayer Command Post Began BY Lynn Heatly

"God is wonderfully good and faithful to us! I have been involved in various prayer ministries since 1990. In the late 1980's, the Lord brought me through renewal in my own life and gave me a burden to see others come into His presence and to know His voice and ways. I was involved in teaching and prayer ministry at my own local church in Chino. At that time, I also became involved in other city-wide prayer efforts and began to see the beauty of the body of Christ united in love and purpose through efforts like Concerts of Prayer, National Day of Prayer and various other ministries. I began to communicate with my church as well as other churches the different prayer events that were occurring in our region. This led to meeting many other believers who had similar vision of prayer and unity.

In 1993, the Lord gave me a word: PRAYER COMMAND POST. I knew that it had something to do with an actual site that was strategic in nature, but that was all I knew in the beginning. Over the next couple of years, the Lord added to the word and I began to understand that He was leading me to establish a ministry that would serve as a headquarter, a "command post" that would serve all the various ministry streams of prayer. This service included communications, equipping, networking and other aspects of prayer ministry. "

Today the vision that the Lord gave Lynn is coming true and Prayer Command Post is a reality. Lynn will be sharing at Elgin's House of Prayer & Regional training Center on Tuesday morning,  May 13th from 9:00 am - 11:00 am.  

"I pray that whatever vision the Lord has placed in your heart, that you will hang on to what He has told you, that it will come to pass in His timing and that you will bring Him much glory in the process of fulfilling the vision. Be encouraged, He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it ! (Philippians 1:6)"

May we know that we are His beloved and serve Him with joy!
Lynn Heatley

5.    LA, CA: CALLING ALL PASTORS
 

>From: David Andrade [mailto:prayunceasingly@juno.com]

A CALL TO BESEECH THE FATHER FOR THE WELFARE OF THE CHURCH AND OUR CITY.

The Prayer Focus:
For the Pastoral Unity in Greater LA

This is a call for the Pastors and Leaders of Greater LA to once again gather in unity to pray for the Church and the welfare of our city.

City Watch LA
Thursday Evening,
May 8th 2003
7pm – 9:15pm

First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood
Henrietta Mears Auditorium
Off the 101 fwy south off at Gower.
The church is on the corner of Carlos and Gower.

IF YOU BELIEVE AS WE THAT THE TIME FOR PASTORS OF THE CITY TO COME AND BEESECH THE FATHER FOR ITS WELFARE, PLEASE JOIN US.

http://www.CityWatchLA.org     /    626-296-7605
 - - - - - -
>From: Worldforjesus@aol.com

Dear Brother Pastors and Leaders,
    I do not have to convince you that these strategic times bring astounding ramifications to bear upon your ministries and mine.  We are experiencing, as Dickens might say, " the best of times and the worst of times." Our congregations and constituents are asking questions with deeper context than ever before. A demand for the Rightly Dividing of the word of God is paramount and the expectation for a practical revelation of wisdom from on High is the desperate cry of the church.
    The visible image of the Church is seen as so divided by most in the World. I know that you will agree that any schism more rooted in methods than doctrine should not divide us at all. As long as we are lifting Jesus up as God reconciling the World unto Himself, there are many ways in which we should be uniting: Prayer is the most productive way to unite us with The Father and with each other.
    I need your strength in prayer ..I need you along side of me with other brothers and sisters to intercede for our city and to proclaim God's Word over our congregations and our Nation. Ps. 133:1 says. "Behold how pleasant it is for Brethren to dwell together in unity." The strength of the threefold chord will be maximized over and again if we will commit to COME TOGETHER.
    A call to the lost is terribly weakened if the body calling them cannot unify.      
    On May 8th from 7-9pm Pastors and intercessors are coming from all over our city and bordering cities to join in Corporate Prayer and Intercession for Hollywood and the greater Los Angeles region at the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood on Gower. If for some reason you think that you are not really needed, you are mistaken.
    Let us gather together as members of His ONE BODY and enter His gates with thanksgiving and go into His courts with praise that we may be more fitly knitted together than ever before and with a unity that will shake the very foundations of hell, that the World  may see the power of Prayer united, and know that the refreshing that you and I need will surely come from the presence on the Lord.

May The Lord Bless you in all your good work for His Kingdom,
Sincerely, Keith J. Brandt, Pastor of the Monroe Street Christian Church, Hollywood, Ca.

>From: "Hank VanKampen" <HVanKampen@goodsamministries.com>

On Sunday April 27, 2003 persons from all 29 Reformed churches in the Zeeland, Michigan Classis will be worshipping together at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI.  God has made it clear to the leadership that he longs to move with POWER and called us to repent and come experience him fully and change our direction.  In the past 18 months what started as a spiritual call to one person, grew to a core team of 20, then 100 ministers and elders coming in prayer and be anointed with oil.  There are now over 300 members in the choir and many others in supporting roles.  Nothing like this has ever been done in our congregation before and persons are coming from around the country to share and some to see if they also need to plan a similar experience.  Dr. Henry Blackeby is the featured speaker.  We have heard God's call to repentance and a change of direction.

7.    TWIN CITIES, MN
 

A Reminder that next Thursday, May 1 is National Day of Prayer!

And what a time for us all to celebrate and gather together, uniting ourselves as God’s people to celebrate our God!

There are numbers of gatherings across the metro. If at all possible, join us for this years rally at the State Capitol 11:30 – 1:00 pm and the youth “Share the Light” gathering from 1:30 – 2:30 pm also at the Capitol.

We will again be broadcasting live from the studios of KTIS that evening from 6:30 – 9:00 pm. And connecting with the Nationally Broadcast Concert of Prayer as well as prayer gatherings from across the metro. We will be focusing on this years theme: “Righteousness exalts a nation,  but sin is a disgrace to any people.” From Proverbs 14:34. This will be an exiting time.

If your church is planning on connecting to the Nationally Broadcast Concert of Prayer, please let us know and we can pass the word.

Finally, for more information on events on the National Day of Prayer, go to: www.ndpminnesota.org/ 

Another word of encouragement – This  year we WILL have a proclamation from the Governor! In talking to his office, this is so important to him, that Governor Pawlenty is writing it himself! Pray for our Governor.

Your servant in Christ,
Steve Loopstra
Executive Director, Prayer Transformation Ministries

Evening meeting at Park Street Church.

CORRECTION: Evening meeting at Pilgrim Church in Beverly, MA at 7 pm is May 1, not May 3.

Massachusetts Family Institute commends the state House of Representatives for rejecting proposals to expand gambling. The specific legislation would have introduced 9000 slot machines at six locations across the state. The house defeated the proposal, 95-59.

Presidential candidate Sen. Kerry of Massachusetts made it clear that as president he would impose a pro-abortion litmus test on federal judges.

Please pray for the team from NECP that is going to Washington, DC Apr. 27 – May 3 to pray at the Capitol and in conjunction with the National Day of Prayer. We will join Dick Simmons, a prayer leader who lives opposite the Supreme Court.
 


Everyday a National Day of Prayer
 

Why not make everyday a national prayer day? Let us observe May 1, but let’s not do it once year but every day. As you look over the suggestions following don’t get overwhelmed. Just familiarize yourself regularly with them. Then ask the Lord to begin to guide you to apply them. He will bring these categories as you go about your day. Start your day with a focus on worshipping the Lord. Open scripture, read through the Bible, and use the Psalms as your hymnbook. Ask him to remind you during the day of these categories. If you are at home all day, you can do them all. Put your hand in the Lord’s hand and he will apply this day by day. See what happens in time as he leads you.
 


The Parish
 

Here is a concept of prayer that may be of help for every Christian: understanding your parish. This for lay Christians as well as pastors. Every Christian has been placed by God in a PARISH. That parish has boundaries but the boundaries are people. What is our parish? John Wesley said that the world was his Parish. So that is the outer limits of the Parish.
 


The Family
 

But we have a starting point: our family, both near and far. We probably need to pray for them every day, both our immediate family and our extended family. We can pray them into the Kingdom if they aren’t there already. Then we can pray for their spiritual growth and protection.
 


Your Church
 

Of course we can pray for our Church daily, starting with the pastors, and every member. Of course if it is a large church we need to make it manageable.
 


The Neighborhood
 

But then we can start praying out to the world, beginning with our neighborhood, those right in our block. Get to know them and pray for them. Lighthouses of prayer are excellent in this regard. Prayer walk the neighborhood.
 


Your Workplace
 

Then we have the workplace. Again, the people we see everyday. We need to pray for the workers and business we are involved in, for their salvation and for their needs. In these places God will open opportunities to use us as ministers and evangelists.
 


Business
 

Adopt a business you frequent for prayer: the bank, the supermarket, wherever you go for business. Even malls are fair game. Don’t let these prayer opportunities pass you by. The Lord will help you.
 


Secondary Schools and Colleges
 

For some the school setting is similar to the workplace. The teachers, fellow students, and administration need prayer. Some students meet every day to pray for their school. Every Christian can adopt a school because schools have no prayer. We all live close to different schools. Ask the Lord to guide you to one and make it your Parish. Then there are the colleges and graduate schools. Pray for your alma mater or one you might be familiar with. These places need prayer. There may be ministries in the secondary schools. Pray for these like Young Life, or Youth Groups or Intervarsity and Campus Crusade. Pray for the schools.
 


The media
 

Secular media is a very Christless place, but God can change all that. There is a wonderful group called Pray for Hollywood which targets that group. The internet, newspapers, TV, so much that informs the mind needs prayer. Make that part of your parish.
 


Legal institutions
 

The Courts, lawyers, judges, and prison systems are desperately in need of prayer, as well as the social workers. Let us pray for these people. And of course the police and firemen could be included here.
 


Medical field
 

Hospitals, doctors and nurses, nursing homes and other medical workers need prayer, especially Christians in these fields.
 


The military
 

The recent conflict in Iraq has reminded us of the desperate need these high risk people have for prayer. They are in harm’s way, and therefore need Jesus.
 


The Government
 

Locally are the mayors, town councils, school boards and a proliferation of government workers. At the state level are representatives, governors, and civil servants; at the Federal level are Representatives, Senators, the President, and also all the Cabinet members, etc. They need prayer, as well as elections on all levels.

This is obviously only an outline and each area needs special attention. But with the help of the Holy Spirit we can all prayer our part. We are praying: "Lord, let your kingdom come and your will be done on earth, in every area we covered."

NDP Concert of Prayer Broadcast Live from Detroit

Dear Friends Who War in Prayer over our City,

Greetings in the name of our Savior!  Your prayers for our city and this region are making a difference in the spiritual atmosphere over Detroit and the suburbs.  God is meeting with us in the secret place and the fruit of your labor in prayer is being seen.  Praise God!!

I'm writing to you to let you know about two upcoming events that I know you'll want to participate in.  On Thursday, May 1 the regional pastors are uniting to sponsor the National Day of Prayer Concert of Prayer.  This prayer event will be hosted at Straight Gate Church in Detroit and will be simulcast from two other locations as well (Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA and Washington, D.C.). Bob Bakke is the organizer and host for this event, which has been based out of Washington, D.C. for several years now.   The event will run from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and will be broadcast nationally on radio and television.  Fred Hammond will be the musical guest at our location and five of our local pastors will be called upon to pray during the evening.  Please make your plans to be with us on this very special night.  Directions to Straight Gate Church can be found on their website http://www.straightgate.net/.

In lieu of this awesome prayer event coming to Detroit, Bishop Merrit, pastor of Straight Gate Church and my husband Eric Moore, pastor of Canton Community Church, have asked me to coordinate a meeting for the intercessors of this region so that we can bring prayer around this important event.  Mark your calendars for Thursday, April 24 at 7:00 p.m. at Straight Gate Church.  We are asking the intercessors to come to this critical meeting to discuss the prayer strategy that we will engage in for the week leading up to May 1. This is a very important time in the spiritual life of Detroit, and we must step alongside of our pastors as they unite to work together to see this territory transformed by the power of God!  So I hope you'll make plans to come to this strategic meeting and be a part of God's praying army in this region and particularly over this event, which has so much potential for uniting our churches.  

Please feel free to send this email to anyone you know that is engaged in prayer over our city.  We would love to become connected to every prayer saint in this region, so spread the word!!  See you on Thursday, April 24th!
Many blessings, Kim Moore
Prayer Coordinator for Plymouth-Canton
