Moody Church in Chicago & True Woman Chattanooga

THIRST Conference @ MOODY CHURCH:

We were blessed to be in the service last night with Byron & Sue at the Thirst Revival Conference at Moody Church in Chicago. We also had dinner with Byron & Sue and Pastor Lutzer. The leaders at Moody are amazed at the responsiveness of their people to the Thirst Conference. 270 ladies came to the ladies luncheon yesterday (the number shocked them) with some rather amazing stories of how God spoke through Andrea. Almost 600 other adults fought the traffic to be there last night. Thumbs up for Base Camp . . . because one couple with young children is visiting from overseas and is staying in Sawyer MI which is just west of Buchanan, MI. They went to Chicago this past Saturday to visit friends and attended the service with them in the morning and decide to stay for the night. They returned to Sawyer but could not resist returning to the conference. So they are now commuting 2 hours each way for the services because their boy in Base Camp keeps bringing them back. On Monday night he begged his parents to come back on Tuesday because our workers were speaking on obedience and he did not want to miss it. How can a parent say no to that? We heard stories of reconciliation, clearing conscience, and restitution that are beginning to take place, including someone who confessed using church money he received to use for rent to purchase drugs . . .over ten years ago. Mrs. Lutzer told Sue Paulus, “we’ve known you folks all these years, have carried a burden for revival, and why has it taken us so long to have you here at Moody? I wished we would have done this years ago.”

True Woman ’10:
The Revive Our Hearts team arrived safely in Chattanooga for True Woman Chattanooga Tuesday. Please pray as they set up today and prepare for the opening tomorrow night! Especially pray for Nancy as she gives direction and leadership to the more than 2,400 women who are now registered. We need God’s presence!

Finally Chuck Colson sent an email to one of our leaders this week saying:

“I really believe in this moment in history, that the one great hope is that the sleeping giant in our midst—the believers—will be awakened. It has happened before; it can happen again if God chooses. It’s the first item I pray for every morning.” – Chuck Colson
