The Response USA, August 6, 2011, Reliant Stadium, Houston, Texas
In a recent conference call with Governor Rick Perry of Texas, he said: "It will be a time to call out to God... to get on our knees and pray. America faces an abundance of crises. Like the Founding Fathers, Harry Truman and others, we need God to bless and guide us... We need to set aside our differences and get on our knees to pray."
No political placards are being permitted and clothing with political statements is being strongly discouraged. It is a time for seeking the Lord through prayer and fasting only. There will also be a simulcast via the Internet that you can tune into if you are unable to be there at Houston's Reliant Stadium in person.
A National Solemn Assembly called The Response: A Call to Prayer for a Nation in Crisis, will be held on Saturday, August 6, 2011, in Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. There will be no political agenda, no merchandise sold, no ministries promoted, no literature distributed and no offering taken. Registration is free. This event will not promote any denomination or organization. It will simply be a gathering of those who love God and love America in response to this invitation to join together and ask for His mercy, guidance, wisdom and provision. The website, www.theresponseusa.com, will give you critical information and help you see how this movement is building across the USA and among national church leaders.”
Please pray for the USA at this crucial time in the nation’s history and for the success of this timely attempt to bring Christ’s people together to pray for God’s deliverance of the nation.
Raising Up a New Generation from the 4-14 Window to Transform the World
Will you pray for the 4/14 Generation?
This prayer bulletin will be focusing on the 3rd Global 4/14 Summit being held in Singapore, 6th-9th September, 2011. The Summit will serve as a platform for 10 Global Tracks to significantly expand their reach in advocating for the 4/14 Window movement through their track focus. In this issue, we will be highlighting prayer requests for two of the 10 tracks.
CHILDREN IN TRANSFORMATIONAL MINISTRY:
The purpose of this track is to provide children a voice throughout the Summit and beyond and to recognize and empower child ambassadors as emerging leaders and key influencers.
Prayer Requests:
Pray for each child ambassador as they prepare their hearts to represent their nation and generation:
1. They would hear God’s heart and have insight and wisdom to be His voice.
2. They would have soft teachable hearts and a hunger to seek after God.
3. They would be empowered and envisioned re: their role in God’s Kingdom.
“Pray that the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened in order that they may know the hope to which he has called them, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for those who believe.” Ephesians 1:18
Pray for the adult leaders:
1. That they would support, encourage and release the children into all God has for them.
2. For God’s blessing and protection over their families.
3. For a deepening of their personal relationship with God.
4. That they would hear God’s heart regarding children and the way forward.
MISSION STRUCTURES TRACK:
In this track, leaders of mission structures (mission sending organizations, mission agencies and researchers will affirm and enforce the 4/14 movement as the global missional focus for this decade.
Prayer Requests:
1. Pray for a new movement among mission structure leaders to see how a focus on the 4/14/ Window moves the Great commission forward greatly!
2. Pray for anointing for the speakers and presenters as they share innovative models, stories, and practical examples of how 4/14 focus can be implemented for radical positive change in their structures, organizations, ministries.
3. Pray for humble, soft and repentant hearts to hear the voice of God regarding children.
4. Pray for anointing for tools and videos that are being produced to communicate God’s heart to mission structure leaders.
An encouragement from Psalm 78:4-7
Let us tell the 4/14 generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done. Let us respond to the command He gave our ancestors to teach our children God’s ways, His principles, His commands, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born; that they in turn will tell their children; that they will put their trust in God, will not forget His deeds and will keep His commands.
What is the 4-14 Window?
The 4-14 Window refers to the demographic group from age 4-14 years old, which is the most open and receptive form of spiritual and developmental input. God is calling us to a new missional focus: the 4-14 Window golden age of opportunity to transform the world. God is calling us to radically change the way we view children to respond to their strategic importance and rightful place in His Kingdom. This often ignored and suffering people group can be transformed into a precious window of opportunity. In God’s hands, this enormous and largely ignored people group can become agents of transformational mission under the headship of Jesus Christ.
The 4/14 Global Summit III Singapore, 6-9th September 2011
There will be 3 different groups actively participating in the Summit and contributing to the movement but with differing roles:
The NFT (National and Facilitating Team) Forum: This will be a gathering of national and regional facilitating teams. Their role is to drive and coordinate 4/14 catalytic events in their respective countries and regions.
The Global Track Summits: The task of the tracks is to broaden advocacy and accelerate mobilization. Each Track holding a Global Summit will use their time to generate a strategy for greater advocacy and mobilization. (The purpose of the Track is not training or equipping in nature.)
The Global Resource and Support Networks (GRSN) Workshop Sessions: These are ministries, networks, and organizations eager to contribute and engage with the 4/14 Movement by providing resources and support (tools, curriculum, literature, training modules, program content, etc.).
Summer holiday Bible reading as Sir Cliff gets on board
Churchgoers are being encouraged by Sir Cliff Richard to make the most of their summer holiday by recording their favourite Bible chapter on the beach or wherever they are spending their break. The King James Bible Trust has this week released new easy to follow summer recording guidelines for their ambitious YouTube project to get the whole Bible read aloud online, with the support of the Summer Holiday popstar. A range of figures from the Church, politics and the arts have already supported the project including the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams who recorded Job 38. The YouTube recordings are part of the 400th anniversary celebrations of the King James Bible.Sir Cliff who plans to record his chapter in the autumn said this week: ‘ The King James Bible was translated to be read out aloud and the YouTube Bible is a great modern way of fusing this wonderful old literary text with a worldwide digital phenomenon.
Pray: for this original approach to speaking and spreading the Word of God. (Dt.32:1)
