p.r.a.y.e.r.

Once upon a time, the President of International Justice Mission, Gary Haugen, was describing the culture that exists within their main offices day-to-day. He said that the staff as a whole comes together at a certain time to pray every day. He went further to say that they didn't necessarily do this because they liked to (I bet they did), they didn't do this because they had to (sometimes people were gone), they did this because they couldn't make it through their day -- and the incredibly weighty tasks they perform day in and day out -- without it.

Can I be honest and say, I want to get to that point. I want to be so desperate for prayer that my day seems impossible.

Northeast Community Church is hosting a prayer gathering tonight. It will be at 18 Knight Street in the community room. We'll be praying for NECC, our city, our state, our world, just people, just neighbors. No hard and fast rules to it, just a time to gather in prayer. If you're around, scoot in around 7:30pm. It's open to everyone.
