A Workable Model for Connecting Local Churches in Ongoing Transformational Prayer: One Church, One Day
Be sure to see the video on the attached website link. This is a proven, lasting model of unity in diversity, enabling many churches to connect and pray for the issues of what was once the most unchurched county in the USA. God is answering their united intercession in remarkable ways!
Here are some of the results since they launched the Light of the World house of prayer and this practical, doable approach for maintaining 24/7 prayer:
Prayer and Unity Results
-Currently 40 churches that commit to a day of prayer (24hrs) once a month every month. 3 larger churches each have 100hrs per week of committed prayer.
-100hrs per week of prayer at local house of prayer in worship fed, Bible based, Spirit-led prayer meetings, people coming from many different local churches.
-60-90 senior pastors gathering once a quarter (70 percent of pastors in Bellingham) for prayer and spiritual friendships.
-7 Strategic Councils established in each of the 7 spheres
-All five college ministries connected on our campus (15,000) leaders praying together weekly, 1000 students gathering on Friday nights, 70 Christian professors beginning to connect and pray together!
Transformation Results
-75 local churches successfully planted in the last decade (Whatcom County was previously one of the least churched counties in the US). In the last six years we have seen 12 hispanic churches planted in Whatcom County, and in 2015, 150 new hispanic believers baptized in water in 2015.
-8500 new believers (water baptized, disciples of Jesus connected in church community) since 2009. 2015 we saw 1400 water baptisms.
-Abortions numbers have dropped every year since 2007, last year drop of 75, teen pregnancies dropped each year for last 4 years, last year drop in half to 145. Our pregnancy clinic numbers are remarkable...national average for college towns( 20 percent of Bellingham are college students) is one baby saved (clinic) for every 30 abortions, Bellingham one baby saved for every 2 abortions.
-Adoptions number doubled 3 years in a row 2009-2011, last 4 years steady, strong numbers.
-Engedi Refuge Ministries, a restoration ministry to women coming out of human trafficking, has seen a 90% success rate of women successfully completing the program and building new healthy lives. (3yr prayer process to see this ministry established)
