What an experience it was last week to join more than 30,000 young people who had gathered for this worship, prayer and teaching event! It was thrilling to see so many waving, jumping, on-fire teens, 20s and older folks as well who want their lives to count for Jesus and His mission in our world. Several hundred of us also took place in a leadership summit that focused on mobilizing a global prayer and worship movement with the following ambitious suggested goals by 2020-2025: 1.  100 million intercessors for the completion of the Great Commission
2.  24/7 prayer and worship in all 4000 "omega zones" of the earth
3.  24/7 prayer and worship in all 50 U.S. states
4.  50 million young adults involved on 2500 U.S. campuses and 5000 campuses worldwide
5.  Prayer mobilized for translation in all remaining languages (less than 2000 without it now)
6.  Prayer mobilized for one billion new people to come to Christ and be discipled
7.  Resource 4/14 Window movement and Back to Jerusalem movement with 24/7 prayer The International House of Prayer in Kansas City that put on the events hopes to convene annual gatherings of mission and prayer leaders to continue this process of prayerful deliberation so that more tributaries of the prayer and mission movements can begin to flow more closely together. Hats off to IHOP and its leadership who are having such an enormous impact on the prayer movement within the U.S. and internationally through their focus on 24/7 prayer and mission. As they rightly teach, prayer and mission belong together and should be intimately intertwined for maximum impact on ourselves and the world. They should also be congratulated for graciously serving and collaborating with the rest of the prayer and mission movements.
