Pentecost Day in Jordan will be on June 23, but at the School we already had Pentecost! It was our prayer that everyone will receive a new wine from the Lord. On the first day, God gave a vision: the outburst of wine, like a tsunami. Indeed, He poured out the spirit of prayer and intercession. Hallelujah!

The School was intended for those who attended the School of Prayer I last year. Wonderful things happened after the School last year. The house church in Damascus started everyday Prayer Meeting at 6 am (“What else can we do but to pray?” they said). In Jordan, small prayer groups started in different place, we call it Tower of Prayer… It is very encouraging to see more women are burdened to pray.

19 women were together for 2 full days. Among them were 6 Syrians and 1 Egyptian. It was a mix feeling to be with the Syrians. Surely we identify ourselves with their tremendous suffering but at the same time we marvel at God’s faithfulness, how He protects, provides and sustains His children in Syria. The war is getting worse but up to this point, none of the believers get hurt or killed. Two MBBs joined us, one from Syria and the other one from Jordan. The youngest of us is 16 years old and the oldest is over 60 but everyone wants to be trained in prayer!

On personal level, the Lord really encouraged and empowered the women. God blessed with the Word of knowledge for every woman when we prayed for them individually.

As a group, we interceded for the churches, then for Syria, Egypt and Jordan. We actually had travailing prayers for the nations. It was VERY powerful! The women travailed with whole heart and full strength. One intercessor from Jordan, she has been praying for Syria. When we circled the Syrian women to pray for them, the intercessor from Jordan shouted and cried out loud, she said something strong came out of herself and she prayed like never before to push back the power of darkness over Syria. The Egyptian woman was surprised of how she could pray like that for her nation. All prayers are intercession in righteousness as we repent, we confess the sins of the nations and we accept His forgiveness. Then we declare His sovereignty over the nations before we resist the power of darkness over every nation.

We believe, with such tears and intercession, the Arab World will never be the shame again! Especially there will be more prayer efforts going on. Psalm 126:5-6. After the brokenness in the spirit, humbly came before the Lord, He restored our joy. There was a fresh new spirit of joy upon everyone. The women continued to sing praises to the Lord until later in the night.

All glory to God! Thank you very much for your partnership in prayer for this event. You share the victory.
