At Thy Feet

We had Jay Lucas of YWAM New Zealand with us on Tuesday and Wednesday. I did a bit of driving around – maybe my calling in life could be to be a chauffeur – and attended a couple of meetings where he shared what God’s been saying to him.

December 15th, 2007, a bunch of us are going to try to ride the wave of what God seems to be saying to New Zealand. About 10 years ago the Lord spoke to Jay about seeing the three main centres of New Zealand (Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington) linked up by live videofeed, doing a Joel 1:14-style solemn assembly. Over the last years Jay has attended various events like The Call, and he’s also the New Zealand 24-7prayer leader. Anyway, in June this year he felt the Lord tell him that it’s time to get this thing moving… so in my capacity as the prayer room co-ordinator (soon to become more leader-ish?) I’m hooking into this thing.

We want to do something indigenous… something that reflects New Zealand and is genuinely New Zealand, not something imported from overseas which we add Kiwi flavouring to. Hope Centre is hosting the Lower Hutt gathering – we’d be stoked if we had like 100 people show up for 6 hours of prayer and fasting and worship – and over the next few years, we want to see this thing build and grow and impact the nation and see where God takes us.

* ‘We’ is me, my church, YWAM, the other churches involved, anyone remotely connected to this thing. But I speak from my viewpoint.
