?OUR PURPOSE

National and local Pastors¹ Prayer Group network leaders are being invited to attend a strategic planning summit. This will be a gathering of men and women giving leadership to the Pastors¹ Prayer Group movement across the nation.

Our purpose is to bring together national and local leaders who are at the forefront of the Pastors’ Prayer Group movement... So that, in the fellowship of prayer, we may explore the vision Jesus has for the future development of PPGs in our nation and across the globe... In order to discern how we might serve together to encourage and equip those who lead national and local networks, as well as those who lead a single PPG.

The summit will begin with an evening of sharing our story (³How does the Lord use you in the PPG movement?²) and praying together (³How does the Lord want us to serve the PPG movement?²). Our Friday will be spent in a roundtable format; listening, discussing, planning... What is a PPG anyway?

What vision has the Lord given us?

How do PPGs begin? Develop?

What nudging and nurturing are needed?

The Pastor-Intercessor partnership...

How does/should the National Pastors’ Prayer Network serve the movement? This meeting will also prepare the NPPN for the Mission America Annual Meeting in October.

You are invited to attend, if you network PPGs (seek to begin and guide) or if you nurture PPGs (provide prayer covering or produce resources for) [Contact Phil Miglioratti for specific details at: phil@nppn.org or 847-991-0153].

All are invited to pray for this gathering, that God will give us a unified vision for serving the PPG movement in a collaborative way.

*PPG: BOOKS OF HOPE, REVIVAL FIRES, HUGH HEFNER

>From: John Hudson <josus@home.com>

Here are Granville we are about to cover the neighborhood with 400 “Books of Hope”. We are seeing many fires of renewal going on with meeting of pastors coming under the power of prayer. The incident of putting up the street sign for Hugh Heffner brought our local inter-faith group of religious leaders to 15 minutes of prayer for the city of Chicago. This may not sound like much, but the group usually operates with just a minimum of prayer. The same power of prayer is increasing in a United Methodist cluster of pastors in NE Chicago. Still more is happening through Cross and Crown Church, 3709 W. Ainslee, with gatherings of pastors every other week at 12:30 p.m.

Grace and peace, John Hudson, Pastor at Granville UMC

*POWAY, CA: SERVING NOTICE

>From: “Jerry Wilson” <jerber@hotmail.com>

Our Pastor has a vision of turning a shopping center into a Christian Service Center. We recently acquired space in a small strip Mall in Poway California. The problem was a 22 year bar with a rough reputation, sitting at the end of the building. It conflicted with the vision of a pre-school and youth center. After we started to expand, a karate school folded in the night, and another business asked if we could assume their space so the could relocate to larger quarters. Still the bar. The owners asked Pastor Dan what he would do with the space if it belonged to the church. The reply was a bookstore/coffee house. The bar was served notice. Their last day, they emptied the place, then proceeded to sit in the empty space, consuming the left-overs. As we began our mid-week Bible study, it was obvious that several ‘patrons’ had bad feelings about the bar closing. They were inside drinking, and smashing the bottles against a block wall. Motorcycles were ridden inside. We began our study with concerns for the preservation of our windows and signs.

About 8pm, we heard chants of ‘We’re outa beer.’ At 8:30, when our study ended, the place was deserted, and dark. Amazingly, even the mess had been cleaned up and taken to the dumpster.

We now can begin removing the bar, replacing walls and fixtures, and dedicating the space to serve God. For years, tenants had tried to get the bar closed, then had moved out in despair. The center was acquired by Christian owners out of receivership. Now God can show his purpose for the space.

Prayer Movement Gains Ground in Oregon as Pastors Seek ‘Open Heaven’

Christians are linking their cities in statewide prayer effort

A strategy to spread a “prayer net” over Oregon, one of the least=churched states in America, is gaining momentum after being launched in January, spawning prayer retreats and drawing in representatives from all denominations.

More than 85 pastors and intercessors who gathered Jan. 7-8 for the Open the Heavens Over Oregon conference established the framework for a prayer net over the state, said Tom White, chief mobilizer of the event. Participants who represented some 35 cities and towns gathered at the Christian Retreat Center near Silver Falls State Park, 15 miles east of Salem.

“Out of unity will come the reaching out to our cities,” said White, who lives in Corvallis.

White is not new at attempting to move people into action with prayer. In 1983, he pioneered Frontline Ministries, a teaching organization that focuses on spiritual warfare and intercession. He said his intention with the January gathering was threefold: to unite key prayer intercessors to build a foundation for personal relationships, and to “intentionally pray into redemptive purpose” God’s direction for Oregon.

“We wanted to do our best with leaning into Him and hearing what He’s saying to us,” White said of the group’s first step.

He said a foundation for personal relationships will be realized as cities partner with one another in prayer. Conference participants paired city with city, such as Salem with Bend, a move designed to create a statewide prayer front.

White believes God wilt hear their prayers for a redemptive purpose for the church in Oregon.

“By linking the hearts of the faithful men and women, and combining that with faith, I believe the Lord will hear our heart for our churches, our cities, our state,” said White, who was appointed to the National Prayer Committee in March and has roots in the Multnomah Bible College’s International Renewal Ministries based in Portland.

The ministry hosts prayer summits for pastors around the country, including a well-attended event at Cannon Beach each June.

Conference participant Martha Franklin said she wants her fellow Native American Indians to know “there’s a God who cares about their daily lives.”

I want Him to give them a new peace. We need your prayers,” added Franklin, who lives on the Umatilla Indian Reservation near Pendleton.

Steve Vowell of Boring likened the effort to forming a battle plan for a spiritual war.

“We can better direct our prayer if we know what’s needed around the state,” said Vowell, who worked to network Mission Portland, a group that helps communicate the activities of Portland missions groups and was this year’s state coordinator for the National Day of Prayer.

Ron Rohman of Portland added: “The term ‘open heavens’ probably means something different to everyone. But to me, that indicates an open pipeline with God. Its fruit is revival.”

Citywide prayer rallies also are growing. In January, Corvallis

pastors sponsored a rally that attracted residents from throughout the

Willamette Valley. Afterward, church leaders spent three days praying and

fasting together at a retreat site.j

At the same time, almost 200 Portland pastors took part in a four-day retreat. At its conclusion, they led a prayer rally that drew 15,000 people.

“This crosses all denominations,” White noted.

The Open the Heavens conference united evangelical, Pentecostal and

mainline denominations. Nationally and internationally, a growing number of prayer movements are becoming multidenominational and multiethnic.The unusual openness among church leaders for cooperation, prayer and evangelistic outreach has reached the Pacific Northwest with a resounding bang, local pastors claim.

“We’ll hold another conference like this in September just to speed up the process of attracting the presence of God, resulting in revival and awakening,” White said.

Evangelist Luis Palau recently preached to more than 93,000 in Portland last August, and tent meetings by evangelist Jerry Gaffney in November attracted thousands in Sherwood. According to those who attended the Open the Heavens conference, spiritual awakening has already begun.

“City-reaching is the cutting paradigm of our time,” White said. “It’s wise to hitch our little cart to where God is going.” For White and the others, the message is clear: Revival belongs to Oregon, and it’s time to pray it in.

*POKEMON POLICY?

>From: Jack Helser <helser@theramp.net>

Would you please ask your pastors and other leaders whether they have adopted a policy about Pokemon cards, books, figurines, and other Pokemon memorabilia being brought into the House of God? If any pastor or church has published such a policy, or is actively addressing the Pokemon invasion, I would like to hear from them. Thanks!

*CORVALLIS, OREGON “EASTER 2000” GATHERING

>From: “Tom White” <TomWhite07@compuserve.com>

The Good Friday ad in the Corvallis Gazette Times declared, “We’re closing our doors and going to Gill Coliseum” for an Easter celebration of Jesus’ resurrection. Twenty-Eight churches (about 85% of local evangelical churches), and over 10,000 people (20% of Corvallis’ population), gathered to lift up our Risen Lord and proclaim the hope of His gospel. The Monday front page article began, “The largest gathering of Christians in the history of Benton County joined at Gill Coliseum on Sunday to pray, sing and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

Churches and private donars covered all expenses up front. Insisting on excellence, we provided the best sound, lighting, video and instruments available. A sacrificial offering of $60,000 was received to bless the poor of our city. Half will help build family units for a new homeless shelter, the other half will fund a school district summer program for at-risk kids. We’ll be presenting checks at the county courthouse on May 4, the National Day of Prayer.

Last August, the “CitiChurch of Corvallis” Leadership Team was inspired by the example of the churches of Little Rock, who pioneered a similar service. Our pastoral gatekeepers rose up by faith and “went for it!” THE E2K GATHERING WAS LITERALLY SOAKED IN PRAYER. Pastors have interceded weekly for the city since our tenth annual Prayer Summit in February, 1999. We gather 3-4 times a year for united Concerts of Praise & Prayer, and occasionally exchange pulpits. Ten days of 24 hour prayer for the lost preceded our Easter gathering. United, fervent prayer has virtually become part of our city’s “spiritual DNA.”

E2K is a fulfillment of a 20 year prayer investment—leaders and intercessors began united prayer in 1980. Between 1983 and 1989, inter-church prayer teams prayed at the “high places,” power points of darkness, and around government offices, schools, businesses, etc. We were faithful to “fill the bowls” of prayer (Rev. 5:8). Now the Lord is being gracious to “spill a bowl” of blessing on Corvallis (Spanish, for “the Heart of the Valley”).

We begin immediately to follow up on 50 first time decisions, 18 with questions, and 150 recommitments. We’re believing the Spirit of God to hover our our city with a lingering spirit of conviction and redemption, bringing an acceleration of the harvest.

The “High Points” of E2K:

1. feeling the delight of our Lord’s heart watching His people pour into the

Coliseum

2. touching the deep joy of seeing the Body of Christ work, as He, our Head,

intended

3. pastors rising as the city gatekeepers, leading in bold, expectant faith

4. fresh, unprecedented favor with city officials, and wonderfully positive

media coverage

*PRAYER PRODUCES UNITY

>From: newsupdate@charismanews.com

>Free subscription at http://www.charismanews.com

Churches are celebrating a new level of unity in the heart of a region best known for its separatists, anarchists and white supremacists. Pastors of 10 congregations in Sandpoint, Idaho—not far from Ruby Ridge, scene of the FBI’s 1992 shootout with white supremacist Randy Weaver and close to the home of other extremist groups—linked for a “Make Us One” Easter celebration.

Around 2,500 people—half the town’s population—turned out for the event at the local high school, which featured music from African American singer Sonya Kaye. “I guess I am like the fly in the buttermilk,” she told the all-white audience.

Tony Nelson, pastor of Sandpoint First Christian Church, said he believed the spiritual breakthrough was due to consistent prayer by ministers who met regularly to pray for revival. He and Bill Knepper, pastor of First Baptist Church, drew applause when they told the crowd that the Sandpoint Christian community would no longer tolerate racial hatred.

Ken Lawrence, pastor of River of Life Fellowship said: “There is a definite move of the Spirit in the sense of what is happening with the pastors coming together.” He said that the theme of the Easter gathering had been Christian unity, but had also been seen and appreciated by some as speaking out against racism.

*PASTORS NETWORK OF SO CAL

>From: WFJI@aol.com

Dear Phil,

The neat thing about this event, it started with the Pastors Network of So.

CA. Pastors building a relationship with one another! Now, Revival 2000!

<A HREF=”http://www.qhappy.com/covina”>REVIVAL 2000</A>

When each pastor was introduced every church applauded! It was like we were

all part of the same church! We have more than 12 pastors and churches involved all ministering in the same city of 33,000.

Revival 2000 has been more than 25 years in the making! Tonight, May 1,

2000

Christians gathered from more than 12 local churches under the big red and

white tent on the corner of Hollenbeck and Rowland. From the minute Chaplain

Dave Truax stood up to welcome the event to the City of Covina, the dynamic presence of the Holy Spirit just flowed in!

Sylvester Blue and his family began to worship and praise God! And it was heaven on earth. Pastor Ken Clowdus spoke a powerful message on “It’s Your Choice,” and when it was time for the altar call many came forward to receive Jesus for the first time. And, others came forward to renew their commitment to the Lord! Pastors ministered healing as the altars filled with seeking saints.

Someone remarked, that “God loves tents!” His presence filled the tabernacle in the wilderness and truly God is here in Covina!

Another pastor remarked that there was such a sense of unity and love!

The huge tent was almost ¾ filled! The service begins at 7:00 p.m. sharp.

The morning seminars are at 10:00 a.m. except on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday is the kid’s crusade at 2:00 p.m.

Just pray for Revival 2000 that God glory will continue to fill that wonderful and glorious tent! Heaven on earth!

The Watch and 24 Hour Prayer Clock

By Dana Roman

Nehemiah 4:9 says. “Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and

because of them we set a watch against them day and night.” NKJ Nehemiah

was called to go to the city of Jerusalem and restore the walls. His name

means “Yahweh Comforts.” He was a cupbearer, which was someone who was an

advisor to the king. Nehemiah tasted all the kings food and drink to avoid

anyone from poising the king. Because of the persecution, confusion and lack

of motivation in the people in Jerusalem, God raised up Nehemiah to set a

strategy in order that would bring unity and a heart and mind to work. This

is also the strategy that the Lord taught King David! 1Chronicles 16:4,6,37

says, “And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of

the Lord, and to record, and to thank

and praise the Lord God of Israel: Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests

with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. Asaph

and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s

work required” KJV

Nehemiah was simply restoring the divine order of the plans that God had set in motion many years before. It is the plan that will work throughout the ages. Unfortunately many of the kings in the Bible disobeyed the strategy of the Lord and did evil. The ones that obeyed the twenty-four hour prayer and worship watch always prospered.

Psalm 119: 164-165: “Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy

righteous judgements. Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing

shall offend them.” NKJ

There is an excitement throughout the body of Christ as we develop twenty-four hour prayer and worship clocks around the world. Without a prayer watch established true revival will fizzle out! We have networked with The City Watch, The California Prayer Initiative, and We Care LA. We would love to have you join the L.A. City Wide Prayer Watch. CityWatchLA@aol.com In the city of Los Angeles we are very grateful for the twenty-four hour prayer clock that was established by Aimee Semple McPherson in 1926 through Angelus Temple. Several other churches have followed the pattern and God is about ready to visit Los Angeles with a mighty outpouring of His Holy Spirit. The teaching manual “The Watch that saved the City.” and how to begin a 24 hr. prayer clock is available by writing the following address.

Date: June 6, 2000 : 11am to 1pm

Location: TLN (TV 38) Headquarters (1-312-433-3838)

38 South Peoria, Chicago, IL 60607

Who: Pastors & ministers, Men & women

The recent three day prayer summit in April is still fresh on many of our minds. We have heard many positive comments from both the men and women participants of the simultaneous summits.

Come and join us! We are welcoming both men and women who are in Christian ministry throughout Chicagoland to join us for two hours of prayer.

The group has decided to meet at the TV38 “Total Living Network” Headquarters which is just 2 blocks west of Halsted and Madison in Chicago. There is easy access from the Eisenhower and only four to six block walk from the Northwestern & Union Stations.

We continue to gather to pray for Chicagoland. This is an interdenominational, cross-cultural, Pastoral prayer initiative. Come in the name of Jesus with your unique expression of prayer for the church, seekers, poor, needy and disenfranchised of our city.

Bring a neighboring pastor or Chicagoland ministry friend. Lets invest two hours worshiping the Lord in prayer.

Warmly in Christ,

The Summit Leadership Team:

Chris Barnes, Phillita Carney, Mike Berry,

Cheryl Dorsey, Kirk Brantner, Claudia Dunne,

Tony Danhelka, Susanne Marder, Lou Diaz,

Sheila Straka, John Ericson, Felecia Thompson,

Dallas Gordon, Vicky Wauterlek, Doug Harsch,

Erwin Lutzer, Phil Miglioratti, Roger Thomas

Chicago Prayer Leaders:

Do you have any Prayer Meetings in May you would like to Post?

Do you know of anyone who we can add to our e-mail list?

Revival Watch Prayer Network/Revival Watch Pastors Network - is a network of

Christian leaders and saints who are praying for revival (spiritual

awakening) and unity within the Chicagoland area. It is a free service to

provide information about the the various prayer sites and meetings across

the city. Our goal is to one day (God’s timing) have a citywide prayer

meeting as all our smaller groups come together. We currently have 200+

names, but we are sure we do not know about many groups ... so let us know

... Thanks! Marcus Hester/Director
