ONE PRAYER was a phenomenal success this last weekend! 1,440 churches are involved, with 810,000 in attendence. Christians from around the nation are feeling connected to each other and becoming more aware of what's happening in other churches. ONE PRAYER seems to be creating a tremendous sense of community and the greater movement that we're all a part of - all through shared content and shared participation - AMAZING!
Here are a few qoutes from participants so far. Read the rest of the ONE PRAYER comments, they are VERY encouraging!
"WOW! What an impact this message had on our family. It made me look at things in a new
light. I am not the same person I was just a couple of days ago. I am changed...forever."
"This is such an amazing time that will make history within the Church and it is such an honor and a privilege to be standing as ONE with all of you!"
"Talk about pumped and ready to serve! Bryan Mills at Meadow Heights Church in Fredericktown/Ironton, MO brought it this weekend! We are so excited to join in on this awesome vision and cannot wait to see how God moves in and through all of us! Thanks for being so Kingdom minded! I cannot wait for the next three weekends and for tomorrows fast! God truly showed up and moved in the hearts and minds of many and challenged us in a huge way...HOW AWESOME!!"
"I am so excited about this message and the remaining weeks to come in this series, uniting all of us as one!! Seeing the videos of Craig's street interviews was absolutely heart wrenching. To know there are so many people who see our churches as divided, to see us as divided and to say they do not know any Christians breaks my heart. I believe it's not just where Craig was interviewing, it is all around us."
"I was so moved by the "what if" time line that Craig laid out. If we, as the bride of Christ, actually did as we should and joined together as ONE, the world would be completely changed, transformed, and by the end of the week when it was time to worship together-- all I can do is close my eyes and imagine the overwhelming glory and presence we would experience."
"This week, through One Prayer, God revealed to me that not only should I unite with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, but that I should work my hardest to unite my family as One. I was so blessed this week when my little sister finally decided to come back to church and give this whole "God thing" a chance again. God answered my prayers."
"It was AMAZING to hear how the 1365 churches participating in ONE PRAYER are pooling our resources together to do 500 new church plants in 4 different nations! PRAISE GOD!!!"
"I have been in the same place as Christian, knowing that the way I believe every scripture was the only way it could be interpreted. This put all other christians as an enemy to be converted to the truth. If a non christian at work was being witnessed to by another believer from one of these "false" denominations I considered it my duty to intervene and set them both straight - ending in everyone being confused and no one growing stronger in their or any faith.
This lead me to pray and seek God as to why we are so fragmented, and how we could be united in one Faith as Jesus prayed. I have since learned we must first come together under one faith in Christ, before any honest dialouge can be started on the points on which we differ."
