Intense Few Days [Priscilla Wan]

First off a praise report! The girl I asked you guys to pray about has received Jesus as her Savior. She even gave a testimony in front of the church about how God healed her and how she felt the presence of God at the Chao Ya praise night.

Ok. A lot has happened since my last blog. So much has happened that blogging it will feel like an injustice. We've been in Tien Liao for the last few days so we haven't had internet access. I'll try my best to give a very superficial overview:

We finished the 72 hours of continuous prayers (3 days). It was awesome. I love living in an environment where you know someone is praying all the time. We had about 25 people on the mission team praying and some people from the local churches too. We divided the time by 2 hour worship sets (live music) and 1 hour prayer slots. Throughout the event I could feel the atmosphere of the church changing. It became so peaceful... so close to God’s heart. On the second night we had a meeting in the main sanctuary and the Holy Spirit hit the room really hard. Adults, teens, kids were all crying at the altar as God filled the room. On the last day many people were sad that the continuous prayer was ending.

The next day I was absolutely blown away. MTL (Ministering to the Lord) time was only supposed to last 2 hours. But everyone ended up praying for 5 hours instead. You would think that after 72 hours of prayer people would want to “relax” and pray the minimum, but everyone wanted to pray more. We ended up crying out for our lost (or wandering) family members. It was a very powerful night with a lot of tears. When it was time to go to bed, I went upstairs and found a 17 year old Taiwanese girl (on our team) propped up on her bed listening to “Consuming Fire” and reading her Bible. I was so moved that after so much prayer people still used their free time to worship God.

The next day we went to Tien Liao to minister. This church is in the poorest community of the three (Tien Liao, Shou San, Chao Ya). Some people from Chao Ya decided to join the mission team (after we ministered at their church and invited them to the 72 hour prayer event) so our numbers grew to almost 30 people. For three days we held a VBS/English camp at a local school. On the last day we gave an altar call and 15 kids accepted Christ. We invited everyone to a praise night and at the praise night we laid hands on the kids and prayed for them. God really revealed His love to some of them event to the point of tears. They sincerely worshipped and prayed to God. A lot of people think that kids can’t understand or aren’t mature enough to worship or enjoy the love of God. But Jesus loves the little children. I was so moved to see God touching these little ones.

There were a lot of other things that happened. I wish I could tell it all well enough for those who are praying for us to understand that their intercession and fasting is truly working! God is anointing our prayer times and people’s hearts are being changed. I have no doubt that this is because a team of prayer warriors back in America are spiritually fighting with us. So, I genuinely thank you guys for your love.

Prayer Requests:
1. We’ve been working the mission team members really hard. Literally all the stuff has been back to back with virtually no break time in between. Sincere the spiritual atmosphere of the mission has become very intense, it can easily become draining. Pray that God will help the team members to utilize their MTL (Ministering to the Lord) time to refresh their spirits.
2. Chao Ya has invited us back to their church to run their Sunday Service tomorrow. Pray for an anointing over the service and that many people we meet the Lord.
3. Pray for Wang Zi Li school. We are ministering there for a week staring on Monday. Pray that God will capture the heart of those kids.
