- Elijah’s New Kidney Phil Wyman’s son Elijah is getting a kidney transplant Wednesday morning at 9:30am. Let’s pray for him. And for his friend, Jason, who’s giving him a kidney. Here are two exceedingly cute and quick videos to help you pray for Elijah and maybe dump a few bucks into his transplant fund. Elijah is only in […]
- If Prayer is Like Boxing There are moments when I see prayer as a restful thing. There are other seasons where it feels like I am struggling against things unseen, and it requires me to focus like an athlete. I’ve felt like that in the last week or two. I’m grateful for the rest, but I’m also grateful for the […]
- Hands Falling In the moment when we hear horrific news, the hands seem to fall off the clock. Everything that seemed important stops. In those moments I’ve often chosen to turn my eyes away with a conciliatory “oh that’s awful,” in order to hastily get the clock working again. As if to say, “things must keep moving.” […]
- Jackie Pullinger Rocks my iPod Today I listened to a rickety old mp3 by Jackie Pullinger. (It must’ve been transferred from 8-track to tape to mp3 because the recording was just horrible.) But, oh! her incredible stories from life in the streets of Hong Kong were like an intravenous dose of dripping faith into my spirit. Woooo! Jackie Pullinger is […]
- At the Cross Tonight in Sofia, Bulgaria, my friend Brooke is sharing about the power of the cross with a bunch of International and Euro teens. Above is a combination of five canvases that her husband Tate painted as illustrations for each of Brooke’s nightly messages. She’ll smoosh all the canvases together to portrait the Father reaching to […]
- Reflections on the 24-7 Prayer Movement Our church just finished up doing a 40-hour prayer room in my office. Paint, prayers, and holy words are splattered all over the paper covering my walls. They are the earnest prayers of twelve year olds, twenty year olds, and retirees. They are the prayers of families, mamas, and tweens. I never want to take […]
- One Englishman’s View of America Brian Heasley is the infamous 24-7 Prayer man in Ibiza. I appreciate how honestly and hilariously he blogs about following Jesus in Europe. He’s originally from the UK, but now he walks out a life of prayer, community, and creative mission in Europe’s wildest party isle. You can read about 24-7 Prayer Ibiza here. Brian […]
- Best of Onething In brief, here are my top 6 moments from Onething 2006 at the International House of Prayer. 1. In the prayer room, watching a group of young adults pray for a girl with CP. And then rejoicing and crying as the crippled girl threw down her crutches and ran around for perhaps the first time […]
- Onething or Nothing I’m writing from Kansas City, at the International House of Prayer. Tomorrow I’m joining 10,000+ young adults for a three-day gathering of worship, prayer, and fasting to bring in the New Year. Onething is known for being a massive welcoming of the Holy Spirit. For me this is a time of re-focusing on the One. […]
