Keep Pressing In!

Hey guys, (I just wanted to encourage everyone doing 24 hour prayer this week):

"There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, 'Get justice for me from my adversary.' 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, 'Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.' " 6 Then the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?"

~Luke 18:2-7

You guys all know this parable. But here's the verse that puts it all in context:

"1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart..."

~Luke 18:1

Don't lose heart! If we are persistent and nudge our Lord with our prayers, He will be faithful to hear us!

Never give up!

The Time for Action is now!

"Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!"

John 4:35


Guys, we need to start moving at a rapid speed. The more I read about the revivals breaking out (Asbury College and, now, UCLA) the more I cannot help but be moved to extreme action for ASU.

We must press in. We cannot afford to miss this moment in history.

The harvest is not next semester. the harvest was not last week. The harvest is NOW. Lets sharpen our sickles and get to reaping.

Prayer Warriors! Reckless Worshippers! Courageous Preachers! Infectious Intercessors! Rise up!

"And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, 'Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.'"
Rev 14:15

Greetings to Boyd of Pray, where is Chris the...we'll have to come up with a cool name for him as well...How about "Chris Ngai, The Prayer Guy"? Hmm... That's alot to type. Anyway; crazy, crazy, crazy excitement! Jesus is on the move.

To all Christians at ASU,

PRAISES TO GOD FOR THE WORK HE IS DOING

Ever since we started praying I've been seeing God move like crazy. I have had the chance to speak with upwards of eight people since school started and I recently talked with a bunch of people from my class about God on our Discussion Board. I also got to meet a Christian guy from West Africa named Malik who just got to the US. He was walking by Crusade and he heard the music. Even though he did not know the words' meaning, he felt like these must be Christians singing. I got to here his story and he came from a family with very little money, but he wanted to come to the US, so his pastor prayed for him and against all odds he got a visa. Now he's gonna start coming to my small group. As I write this email, I'm speaking with my friend Andre, who also knows Malik from the English Conversational Partner Program on campus. The body of Christ is coming together even across international boundaries! Everywhere I go I talk to Christians that know friends of their friends who know so and so. There's links popping up all over!

Anyway, at the same time that we have begun to cry out to God, other universities across the nation are doing the same.
I just got this email from Chris about news from ~40 other campuses that are experiencing revival!!!! SOMETHING IS HAPPENING!!!!!!

***************************************************************

THE LATEST NEWS:

This Friday, 3-5pm, Danforth Chapel---We are bringing two guys from Campus Renewal Ministries that just experienced revival at Texas University and they want to share with us what happened on their campus and what strategies they used so that we may be empowered to do the same.

Every Friday 1:30-3pm, Hayden Lawn---Come join Christians from every ministry in Prayer and Worship. It's a real free atmosphere; you can do whatever God leads you to. Declare scripture over the campus or just do initiative evangelism. Sometimes we don't have to do anything, people will come up to us and ask us what we are doing.

Every Wednesday, 12-1:30pm, MU (the room varies-contact me for info: JoeltheJedi@msn.com)---Prayer and Worship: A time to call out to God for Revival. Sacrifice your midday meal for Jesus and come...or eat while singing and praying...I'll enjoy watching that :)

Soon to be Tuesdays, 7pm, Praxis Church---The pastor of Praxis is heading up Ressurection week before Easter this year and his vision has blown my mind. He's got a fresh view on what it's supposed to be about (Making Jesus known. I know it sounds like a "duh!", but in the past it's been more about attracting people to our ministries) and he wants us students to run the show together, rather than each ministry doing their own thing. So far we've just been having brainstorming sessions and a few ministries have made the commitment to taking some of ideas and making them happen.

WWW.LOVEASU.COM---We have recently created a website through which members from all ministries at ASU can communicate, pray for each other, collaborate, and celebrate what God is doing.

3 Days of 24/7 Prayer, Feb. 21-24---Sign up for an hour to pray on Hayden Lawn during the day with other Christians. During the night prayer moves to a nearby book store

24/7 Prayer the Entire Week Prior to Rez Week, April 2-9---Same thing on Hayden Lawn and the bookstore

24/7 Prayer All Year---For those of you with very stout hearts, you can go to loveasu.com and sign up to pray for the same hour every week

Yo

This has been an action packed week, filled with flying ninjas and exploding dinosaurs.

Ok, in actuality, this week has been action packed because of a very special guest, Tom Short visiting the campus. (Check him out at www.shortreport.com) This dude goes from campus to campus preaching the Gospel in his unique style. What makes it unique is that unlike some of the guys that do this, he is very respectful to everyone, no matter how much they may disagree. Today it got to the point that he even some atheists and such arguing on his side against a very rude heckler.

I love what Tom does because I'm a bit more of a soft spoken guy, and I don't think I could do anything quite like that, but he is out in the heat of it. Quite admirable. However, I try to do my part with the gifts God has given me by working the crowds, siddling up beside people and chatting it up with them, spreading the love of Jesus in that way.

So it has been fun times this week sharing the Gospel and meeting other Christians who are out doing the same or who just came to observe. I think five people gave their lives to Christ this week, and many more seeds were planted.

How then can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Romans 10:14-15
