late night wednesday


I am back in the hotel after a long day of the consultation. Thanks to those of you who have been praying. By the way, the picture is of me in San Francisco, not Houston. Whatever.


It has been a good day--very full. Probably the highlight has been the announcement of a new major prayer initiative called the "4/14 Window." For the past fifteen years or so there has been an intentional focus by the church throughout the world to pray for the 10/40 Window--that is the window of opportunity between 10 degrees latitude north and 40 degrees latitude north from the West Sahara region of Africa to Japan. This has been the part of the world with the most unreached peoples for the Kingdom and the greatest resistance to the gospel message. Since the focus of the world on this region in intentional prayer the receptivity to the gospel has increased dramatically and the growth of the believing church in this region has multiplied greatly--even in majority Muslim nations.


The 4/14 Window is a call to pray with the same intentionality for the rising generation of the the world's children--especially children at risk from extreme poverty, slavery, orphans, etc. God is doing a major initiative across the world in reaching children and equipping them in simple but fervent prayer to be part of his end-time strategy for blessing the nations. Indonesia has led the way in this--the largest Muslim nation in the world has the largest army of children intercessors crying out to Jesus for the transformation of their nation and for the advance of the Kingdom of God throughout the world. It is just like God to use the children who are being tossed aside by societies around the globe to use the weak and small ones to help usher in his Kingdom of blessing and life.


I would also say that I have been blessed by the atmosphere of the gathering today--the Lord has definitely been encouraging my spirit through his presence and the anointing from the nations that has gathered here for this strategic meeting. I feel privileged to be here and to represent Wellspring and Connecticut at this gathering.


Blessings,


RM
