End of the Year Update- Exciting News!

Friends and Family,

The Fredericksburg Prayer Furnace is set to launch January 9, 2009! We are so excited to see the the vision for day and night worship and prayer in the D.C. region being to come to fruition here! Thank you all to those who have prayed for us as have undertaken this glorious endeavor! The Lord has provided us with an amazing facility, connecting us with key christian leaders in the community, at the Fredericksburg Bible Institute. They have graciously allowed us to share their space and we have usage of offices, classrooms, cafeteria, and a large dedicated space for the Prayer Furnace!


We have been working diligently to transform their old library into our Prayer Furnace, preparing to take in 18 interns and get everything in place for the official launch Jan. 9. We are running 12 hours a day right now with our staff. (including two intercession sets and between are devotional sets)

The Burn Internship is set to start Jan.4 coinciding with the launch of the Prayer Furnace. We are excited to bring in 18 new students, hungry for the Word and Spirit, laying down a season of their life to fast and pray for their generation, to give themselves to prayer and ministry of the Word that they would be rooted and grounded amidst the war for the faith in their generation. They will spend their time between class, devo and study time in the prayer room, intercession sets, ministry to the poor and lost, core discipleship groups, and international missions. Please pray for these ones as they prepare to concecrate a season of their life. Our prayer is that God would make them "burning and shining lamps" in the midst of their generation; those who know their God and carry out great exploits- voices in the wilderness preparing the way for the return of Jesus.

That the Lord would continue to give us strength and that a doors of provision and doors for the gospel will be opened that the word of God may run swiftly and be glorified. Pray that Lord would provide for us as we step out in faith to pursue all that He has called us to do!
