prayer request

Happy Monday. I just wanted to post a quick prayer request.

Background: See You at the Pole is coming up on the 26th. It's one morning a year that all the Christian kids in our public school systems get together before classes start (at the flag pole) to pray.

This Sunday evening, the 16th, EV Free in Crystal Lake is hosting a See You at the Pole rally. About a dozen youth groups in the area will come together to prepare. We worship together and break the students up according to schools so they can talk about logistics. Pretty spiffy.

This year, our Switch worship team is going to lead worship. We're really excited, but I really want it to be more than a "gig" for our team. There will be between 200 and 300 students assembled, many of whom do not go to Spirit-filled churches/youth ministries, or - from what I understand - get excited about worship. My vision for this thing is that our team goes in humility and meekness and the Spirit of God that we can lead them into His presence ... many of them for the first time.

So anyone who can remember us in prayer, please do. Pray our team will be led of the Spirit. Pray the Lord will prepare hearts to meet Him. Pray for expectancy. Pray for awakenings, rededications, encouragement, enthusiasm and encounter. Thanks.

You know what might be a Good Thing to do? A Good Thing to do might be to take some of the youth, who are willing to go, and do a Joshua walk around the area of the flag pole the night before (or several consecutive nights, or the morning before, or however you want to do it) to claim that area for the Kingdom of God.

I will lift you guys up in prayer as often as I remember.

i think we should pray at 4pm for 30 minutes and then start practice. I think concentrated prayer in the spirit at first would be valuable.

Lets chat on it, Prayer is key.
