Our team filled in last night for the 8pm intercession meeting. It was incredible. I had never gone to this set before, but apparently every 8pm-10pm on Sundays, they pray for college campuses and their student-led prayer meetings.
IHOP has a ministry called the Luke 18 Project that launched about two years ago. Basically, it involves visiting college campuses around the country to train, encourage, and offer resources for student-led prayer initiatives. The IHOP staff leaders of the the Luke 18 Project are each overseeing a different region of the United States.
It is these leaders who get up and pray on the mic for their region during the first hour of the prayer meeting. They often pray for specific students, groups, or universities by name. The students involved in Luke 18 know that every Sunday at 8pm they can tune into the webstream and see and hear their mentors and others at IHOP praying for them, their prayer meetings, and their campuses. It's very encouraging.
My team was having some trouble with their in-ear mixes, though. Not sure what was up. It sounded great in the room, though. And it seemed like nearly everyone was engaged in the worship songs. Sometimes I was having a hard time hearing Audra and the other singers over everyone else in the room singing and clapping. That's an awesome, awesome problem to have.
Please keep college students in your prayers this week. Summer is fast approaching (and is already here for many of them). While the break is often well-needed rest, it is also easier to slip in your walk with the Lord with so much extra time suddenly on your hands. Please keep these students in your prayers, that they will not take a break from their prayer life or walk with the Lord while they take a break from school and structure.
Actually, please pray for me, too. Beginning June 1, many of my prayer room hours running sound will be done, as there is some major infrastructure change coming to IHOP's "Justice Prayer Room." I would like to use the extra time to find a part-time job that would help with the bills and such. I also need to rework my "prayer room" and "service" hours accordingly. Please pray for a good schedule, and for the Lord's provision. And pray that I will keep First Things first.Romans 12:10-12 (New International Version)
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.And on that note, I'm going to make lunch and watch Star Wars...
