24-7 Prayer USA: Mountain States GatheringRachel Wegner - 13 Oct 2012

Hello everyone!

I'm writing this update from a cozy little spot at a friend's home in Longmont, Colorado, just up the road from Vinelife Church, where we've been having our 24-7 Prayer USA Mountain States Gathering. We'll launch into our final day together in the morning. It's been such a sweet time of worship, prayer, teaching, stories and connecting with friends both old and new. Here's a quick snapshot of what's happened so far.

On our opening night on Thursday (October 11), we were led in worship by our friends Dave and Tara Powers, alongside Jason Roberson, who are dear friends of ours and local worship leaders here in Northern Colorado. Our main speaker that evening was Dr. Dick Eastman (founder of Every Home for Christ), whom we all regard as a statesman in the body of Christ. Today we soaked in more worship time with Dave and Jason during our morning session, then heard from Gary Schmitz and Wendy Andrews. After lingering over lunch with each other, we joined various afternoon conversations throughout the building. Tonight, we had yet another time of dynamic worship with the guys and their team, and then heard ever-animated stories and revelations from our beloved Pete Greig.

It's been such a rich and restful time so far. The leading of the Holy Spirit is so evident, especially in our times of prayer and ministry to one another. I'm personally blown away by the power of the stories we've heard from the speakers, and the stunning variety of ways we've learned about God working around the globe in this wild and beautiful movement of prayer.

Look for a full recap and also for recordings of our sessions on our 24-7 Prayer USA site in the weeks to come!
