Newsletter for May 21,2014

We are living in a historical turning point. America is at a crossroads. God is opening up doors for Michigan to connect with other states in a Moravian prayer watch of the Lord as well as with Israel itself…directly.
I need prayer for wisdom and understanding to be able to navigate and pull together the strategies that are being set before us.
1.  By the end of the summer the goal of Transformation Michigan is to identify 1 to 5 prayer groups in each County in our state. A relational connection will be nurtured amongst us in Michigan as we pursue wholeheartedly the Moravian prayer watch of the Lord.  A Koinonia relational unity is vitally needed.

Important Note: We are inviting House of Prayer Leaders from around Michigan to MICHOP (Michigan Capitol House of Prayer – 321 Ottawa) in Lansing at 12 noon on May 29th. We will provide lunch and need a RSVP.  The meeting will be from 12 to 5PM.  The prayer movements leaders will share and fellowship with one another. The strategy that will be given in Virginia will be discussed so we can apply in in our state and begin the process of connecting in other states.

2.  A number of prayer leaders from our state representing various regions as well as myself will be going to Virginia this week for a conference called “Awaken the Dawn”. Private meetings with Lou Engle, Alan Hood from KC-IHOP, Darrian Summerville will take place with other state prayer leaders from around the nation to connect America in a Moravian prayer watch of the Lord.
We will be bringing back a strategy to share with the prayer movement in Michigan so individuals, churches, ministries, and houses of prayer can join together as one. Developing technology will be utilized to connect regions and states..
3.  Last year I met with Rick Ridings from the Jerusalem House of Prayer in Traverse City. He invited me to come to Israel to prophetically connect the state prayer movement with Jerusalem. He contacted me again a few weeks ago and I felt in my heart this was a confirmation to pursue this invitation. This is a quote from the email that he sent me. Rick Ridings is originally from Muskegon, Michigan.
FROM RICK RIDINGS“The purpose of the invite is to connect the Michigan Moravian prayer watch with Jerusalem and Israel.  We will have you speak at a Monday evening meeting, and anoint with oil to commission the Michigan Moravian prayer watch leaders from Jerusalem. 
 
We can also work out for one of our leaders to come along for a day to take your group up to pray on the Temple Mount and in the City of David (site of the original Tabernacle of David, just below the Temple Mount), and pray in our private prayer room there.   Your group could also take and hour or two-time in our Succat Hallel 24/7 prayer room to worship and pray as a group.”  Grace and shalom…Rick Ridings
 
I was invited to speak on October 20 and bring other Michigan prayer leaders with me to be anointed as a group from Jerusalem itself. I am getting a response of some who will attend with me. YOU ARE INVITED..if you lead a prayer ministry. Looking into arrangements now.
 
*I am now in the process of raising finances to make this trip a reality. If you would like to help it would be very much appreciated.

SOLUTIONS BOOK UPDATE

“Solutions for Hope and Change” – has been distributed across Michigan. Even in Tea Party meetings and a gun show…believe it or not. Pastors are distributing them to families in their church, at conferences, and church gatherings. I hope you have received a copy and if not please contact me. It is being well received as we are freely giving it away as 12,000 copies have went out.
We will be adding some chapters, refining it, and doing a reprint this summer when we raise the funds. We hope to publish 20,000 copies more and I am presently getting an estimate for the cost. We are considering two new chapters…one which would be what is it to vote Biblically and the other is the importance of unity.
“This book is a must read for concerned Christians who are searching for answers as to how their individual talents can be used to make a difference in America and the Kingdom of God today.” – Lt. General Jerry Boykin – VP of Family Research Council/Kingdom Warriors
NOTE: Some have said we should charge for this publication. I am struggling with this but still am leaning towards freely giving it away so it penetrates the body of Christ more quickly.  We desire to reprint this summer. Would you consider helping us raise $15,000 for up to 25,000 copies. Please e-mail me at rw247365@gmail.com if you would consider donating to this initiative for Michigan.
