It happened in a tiny room, on the second floor of an office, in 2004. We’d transformed a veritable four-walled cubicle into a cathedral, as we set aside a space for our first 24-7 prayer experiment. And I learned that when a community attempts to cover every hour in prayer–for one full week–that things happen. I remember what God said to me on day three at four am, and how I scribbled that Scripture on the wall in blue pastel.
I remember first hearing Pete Greig’s “The Vision” read aloud, and feeling as if the Holy Ghost walked through the room and brushed shoulders with me. I remember hearing Ben Monteiro’s incredible Portuguese version of The Vision, and feeling as if it didn’t matter that the words were in a foreign tongue. Our Ben had captured it. [Audio http://hellosaidjenelle.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/the-vision-pt.mp3] It made me happy that (I’m pretty sure) it was his prayer graffiti that made it to the cover of Brian’s book: The Writing on the Wall: Prayers, Psalms and Laments of the Rising Culture.

i like to think of it as your bike’s east coast counterpart.
I recognised the picture, I was not aware where it came from, very cool.
