Prayer is such a vital part of ministry.


A year ago, I was in Mexico with a team who gathered in the back yard of a willing host, to portray the gospel, through the performing arts. Our team had been billed as the main attraction to an event that had brought out many people.


Hundreds were wedged into this enclosed area. As my team began, I was overwhelmed at the lostness that was amassed into one place. The desperation for truth that creased the faces of most of these people, brought about a deep sense of humility, brokenness and purpose.


One could not move as bodies were pressed in so tight. Normally, this might have brought about a claustrophobic reaction for me. Not this time. God had delivered a powerful sense of purpose in this place. While I could not move...I couldn't even turn around to watch my team...I could pray! I wasn't alone.


The stage was so small that we had to reduce the number in our drama, significantly. The rest of us prayed. As always, God was faithful!


The team finished up and the assigned student shared the gospel with the crowd. Hundreds came to Christ! It was one of many amazing moments from that week, as we saw the masses give their hearts to Jesus! We connected most of them to a local body of believers for discipleship before we left.


I am amazed that we can cross a nearby border and see the level of spiritual hunger increase exponentially! The wealth in our culture has far too many people lulled into a false sense of security and hope.


In a little over a week, I will be returning to this same area with a team of over 25 students and mature adults. I believe God has a dramatic work to do through these who have responded to His call on their lives.


Prayer is such a vital part of ministry.


This team leaves Tulsa on March 15th for a week of serving the Lord, by going. Won't you please serve, by praying (until you can go)?


Perhaps next time, you can join us!
