Vision Brings Passion

Updated 7.29.05

Remember "496,355" the number of new disciples we are asking the Lord for over the next five years? Well, we have upped that number to an even 500,000--much easier to remember!

One Tuesday night around 20 of us were gathered together for a time of prayer. Right before we began praying for the 500-K, the power went off (a frequent thing here!) creating total darkness in the windowless room where we were meeting. It was frightening physically not being able to see anything at all. But almost immediately the realization hit us all at once that this is the true condition spiritually of the masses around us. Almost simultaneously, everyone fell on their knees, crying out to God in loud voices to have mercy on this city and to pour out His Spirit to save the millions who have yet to know the "Light of the World". After an extended period of everyone praying aloud to God, someone turned on the illumination of their cell phone.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned toward the light. The message again was so evident. WE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD and that if we will just "turn on our light" those sitting in darkness will be drawn to Him.
