August - September Update: Let Incense Rise

"For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations and in every place incense will be offered to my name, a pure offering. For my name will great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts."

-Malachi 1:11

D.C. Awakening
(October 5th-11th)

For the first time in history, on the eve of our national elections, we will hold day and night worship and prayer on the west lawn of the United States Capitol building! Oh Beloved what an hour for the Lord to sovereignly open up this door. I believe these next few months are truly a hinge in American history and the Lord is calling the Body of Christ to engage in intercession and action. As Derek Prince once said, "history belongs to the intercessors". I am so excited to stand and offer a sacrifice of worship and prayer; to let incense rise from my nations Capitol! I am standing in the gap for my nation with Jesus before the throne of glory. Starting last Sunday people from all over America will came to Washington, D.C. to publicly and passionately cry out for a mighty spiritual awakening that will impact America for future generations. From October 5-11 Christians will be gathering on the west lawn of the United States Capitol to unite in radical obedience, prayer and worship that will bring revolution to the arts, education, business, media, law and public policy. There will be nightly gatherings with worship, teaching and intercession. I will be leading worship and speaking at this event. Please pray for the Lord's anointing for the week.

The FPF Missions Base

We are so excited as we move forward to establish a "furnace" of worship, intercession, and prayer in Fredericksburg and the D.C. region! We are aiming to serve providing a context in which the churches and believers of this region can gather together in worship and intercession for this city, nation, and nations of the earth. Flowing out of this "furnace" are ministries that we are raising up to:

- disciple and train believers and the young people; raising up a generation of forerunner preachers, teachers, evangelists, singers, artists, and worship leaders: The Burn Internship & The Josiah Project

- resource local churches and ministries to serve the poor and needy within our reach, as well as run our own programs with our staff to feed the homeless and minister to the sick, oppressed and orphaned: Sozo Ministry and Joseph Project

-
monthly and annual conferences and events aiming to teach and train leaders and those outside of the local community: Awaken the Dawn

I will be
giving myself as an intercessory missionary in these capacities:

  • Hours in prayer and study of the Word of God and standing in the gap for my region, nation and generation.
  • Prayer Leading and Worship Leading in sets in the Prayer Furnace
  • Teaching classes for the Burn Internship and other training programs.
  • Personally discipling young leaders.
  • Preaching and Worship Leading at weekly meetings and conferences.
  • Overseeing the administration of the Prayer Room ( assembling worship teams, prayer leaders, and artists; scheduling; ect..)
  • Defining some of our theological premises on controversial issues. ( i.e. the salvation of Israel, the urgency of the hour and eschatology, priestly ministry, the biblical context for night and day prayer, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the endowment of power...)
  • Traveling abroad to minister in Bosnia, Israel and other nations.
We are currently looking for a permanent facility for the Prayer Furnace. We need a facility that will able to accommodate offices, classrooms, a dedicated prayer room, large warehouse space, and worship team practice rooms, and room for many people! Please pray for the Lords provision! You can find out more about the vision, leadership and structure of the FPF Missions Base at www.theprayerfurnace.org.
