Spring Update '09- exciting news this summer!

Beloved,

Since the Launch of the Missions Base at the beginning of the year, sustained prayer and worship has been arising from Fredericksburg 5 days a week - 12 hours a day. During the last four and a half months we have seen some of the most incredible waves of healing, salvation, and deliverance. We have seen deaf ears open, hard hearts break, and the kingdom breakout in Northern Virginia as we endeavor to raise up day and night sustained prayer and intercession; ministering to the Lord and watching Him unleash His presence.

Awaken The Dawn

I was privileged to speak and lead worship at our annual conference Awaken The Dawn that was held just a few weeks ago at the beginning of April.

Believers from all around the nation gathered with us to encounter Jesus and cry out for revival. Over 1200 people came and the testimonies of what the Lord did are still incoming as the impact of this event touches cities and regions. Thousands of people young and old we healed, saved, delivered and set on fire for the purposes of the Lord in their generation.

On Friday night of the 4 day conference, apostolic leaders and pastors from the region and well as Allen Hood and Corey Russell from the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, MO stood up and released and blessed the Fredericksburg Prayer Furnace as a kingdom ministry serving the Body of Christ regionally and nationally and commissioned us, the leaders of FPF.

On the last night of the conference I had the utmost joy of baptizing 13 new followers of Jesus! Hallelujah!

Burn Internship

This month we graduate 18 interns from our 6-month full time internship. I am so proud to be a part of raising up these burning shining lamps. They have given themselves to standing before the Lord in fasting and prayer; laying down their lives for their generation. Some will graduate and move on to serve other ministries full-time, some will be launched into universities and college campuses, some will stay here in the Prayer Furnace standing before the Lord as watchmen and intercessors for this nation and generation. I am overwhelmed to think of the nations, tribes, peoples and languages that these ones will have the privilege to present to Jesus as the reward of His suffering.

We will be receiving a whole new batch of interns this September for another semester.

Hope At Hand

This summer I will be taking out a team of young people to travel across the states preaching the gospel and ministering in clubs and bars.
Hope at Hand is a ministry started out of The Fredericksburg Prayer Furnace to reach a dying generation and call the out of darkness and into light. We minister through music as well as preach and proclaim the beauty of Jesus and demonstrate it with signs and wonders. The Lord confirmed to us to go on tour this summer "for the fatherless and the widow" and to "rebuke the oppressor" Isaiah 1:16-18. I am taking a team who are prepared at any cost to bring the gospel to a lost and dying generation. We will be leaving on July 10th and be on the road through August 14th. Please pray for us as we prepare to go.
