concert of prayer

About a year and a half into this… The monthly Concert of Prayer and Pizza night is finally starting to mature into it’s own thing. Last night was our best yet.

Again, what I love about these things is that I have little to do with them. The worship team plans and executes almost the entire thing.

Last night we introduced a prayer box… Like this one on the right. This will become a standard part of our room for a while. It is simply a place where students can write out their prayers and post them. It’s my hope that this will be something really meaningful to my students.

I have a hard time describing what it’s like to be in our COP&P. If I am really honest with myself, while I am saying it is maturing… It is still a long, long way off. Afterall, we still don’t use live music. Afterall, most students aren’t really into it… They just play along. But it is maturing and it is getting better. I think… At least from what I observe… That kids are worshipping, at least they participate.

One thing I know for sure… They like the prayer activities that we come up with.

Did I mention that we had like a million students last night? I haven’t done the attendance but it seemed like more students than normal. I like it.

Operation C update: I’ve got students on the case, I have been praying for C, and I know for a fact that this is something God can use us for. But more than turning it over to God they are trying to find ways to turn their prayers into action. Hmmm… I love it when my students get it!
