The Change of a Servant

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" From a very young age, we are encouraged to dream about what we want to be someday. I had all sorts of noble aspirations, but there's one that never crossed my childish mind. Yet it's one God encourages His children to be: a servant.

"You also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty'" (Luke 17:10 NIV). Our lives should be summed up by God, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" (Matthew 25 ...

God, Anoint the Travelers!

As our teams begin to travel this year, they need your prayers. Please pray that each team member will be freshly burdened and prepared to share the message of revival. Ask God to give each team member clear direction as to whether or not he/she should travel again in the fall. And pray for fresh anointing on each team member as they minister.

We look forward to seeing how God will work in the next few months, and we're grateful for how He has worked in the last few. Here are a few of the testimonies we've ...

Can Prayer Save America?

We need the reviving power of Jesus Christ, a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We need to humble ourselves and pray.

We would like to invite you to join with us and other like-minded believers January 27–28 in Deltona, FL, to be inspired, challenged, and equipped to pray more effectively for yourself, your church, and our nation.

OneCry is a nationwide call for spiritual awakening. It’s a cry to the Lord to manifest His glory and to work with extraordinary power. And it’s a call to the church to pray, to seek God’s face, and ...

The Movement

Life can get boring. If you view your days as merely the small cycle of work, home, and play, without the wildly expansive element of ministry, there comes a point where it loses its appeal. We are eternal creatures, made for eternal purposes. C. S. Lewis said that if you could see the person next to you as they will appear in eternity (a creature so hideous you would hide your face, or so magnificent you would think they were a god to be worshiped), it would change the way you live. "There are no ordinary people," Lewis said. In ...

Resolution . . . to Rest?!

Since when has resting been one of your New Year's Resolutions? At Resolution—a purposeful, fun, winter family retreat at the Life Action Camp—speaker Tom Harmon challenged 32 families to rest in God by resting in His gospel, goodness, and grace during the New Year. The families were challenged by and continued to talk about these concepts even after the sessions had ended. This is what some of them had to say about the weekend:

"God used this weekend to refocus our family on His Word. We made commitments to each other to become a better father, mother ...

A Fruitful Jericho Partnership

When a ministry partnership ends, that's usually not a good thing. But in this case, it is.

Collegiate Impact has officially ended their Jericho Partnership with Montana State University. This partnership produced much fruit. In fact, Mark Gauthier, National Director for Campus Ministry with Campus Crusade, said, "I know of no other campus closer to revival than Montana State University."

We believe that God used the Jericho Partnership to provide a spiritual breakthrough at MSU. Here is what some leaders and students have said over the past year about God's work there:

"Our staff women are not willing ...

Could this be the next movement to change the world?

My uncle was at the forefront of the labor movement. My cousin was a leader in the civil rights movement. In 1968, on behalf of my high school, I served as a mock campaign chairman for Senator Bobby Kennedy when he ran for president. His assassination only fueled my longing for change. I figure "movement" must be in my blood. Soon after I came to Christ, I began to discover that the message of Jesus has spread on the wings of movements throughout history, beginning with Pentecost and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. One of my favorite movements in ...

How Collegiate Impact is seeing God hijack lives

God On the Move at UNH After the Saturday morning message at the University of New Hampshire fall retreat, Leo approached Dave Warn from Life Action's Collegiate Impact to talk about deep struggles in his life. After dealing with these areas and asking the Holy Spirit to fill him, Leo exclaimed, "I have never felt so free!" Leo was only the beginning of the changes God had in mind. After the evening message, most of the 82 students publicly confessed sin, coming to the cross for forgiveness and renewed life in Christ. This continued for nearly three hours before ...

71,000 Attend All-Night Prayer Meeting

Just over a year ago, underneath the radar of media and public interest, something began in Egypt. As a result, 2011 will be remembered for the unprecedented political shift in at least twelve nations. The entire Arab world will never be the same.

Contrary to media images, the change did not begin with mass revolt in the streets. Before the expression of social reform penetrated Facebook and Twitter, the experience of spiritual revival penetrated the hearts of God's people.


The Real Story Is Being Told

We are largely uninformed of the prayer and fasting that preceded the seismic cultural ...
