I got home last night to see twitter and facebook updates from several friends highlighting the story of Kate McRae, a 5 year old girl in Phoenix, AZ battling a large brain tumor. I clicked on Brian Wurzell's facebook update and found myself on a livestream.com website...Brian and his wife Promise lead a global night of worship and prayer for Kate. The pre-recorded night of worship is still being aired at http://www.livestream.com/brianwurzell (SEE BELOW).
Twitter, facebook, and livestream have rallied people from all over the world to pray for Kate. This online rally has reached people like Dr. Phil who sent out a twitter update asking people to pray and John McCain who actually made a visit to Kate's family at the Phoenix hospital where Kate continues to fight for her life.
Will you pray?

Thanks to Brian and Promise Wurzell for their updates. Since meeting Brian in Phoenix during the Catalyst Road Trip we have become good friends, and he has become an honorary part of the Catalyst team. Brian and Promise helped us lead the Catalyst West Coast backstage party this past April in Irvine, CA. Please pray for Kate and their family...
Happy 4th of July from the Catalyst Team!
Joining you in prayer for Kate! My daughter, Hannah (5 years old) just prayed for Kate out loud and then said “God loves it that we prayed for Kate!”
Peace,
Neil

My family and I are praying for Kate.
I found out about Kate through, Angie’s blog, Bring the Rain. I also posted a blog about Kate and asked for everyone to pray for her.

Thank you so much for using your God-given talents and abilities to help get the news of Kate out over the world. The photos of Kate are so deep and capture the beauty of God’s creation in our children. I continue to pray for this precious child and her beautiful family. I am glad so many around the globe and pounding on heaven’s door like the persistent widow in the Bible, who did not give up, and her knocking resulted in glory.
I will bless the Lord at all times. We are grateful Father for your love and care for your children. We ask that the same power you put forth to raise Christ from the dead would be applied to the tumor in Kate’s brain and it be decimated by your Strong Hand. Intervene in a mighty way and perform your powerful work in her brain and body to restore her to wholeness. We ask that you grant this in the Powerful Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
