Prayer Partner, 

I recently attended the National Prayer Committee meeting in Orlando, FL, where prayer leaders from around the nation gathered to pray and share reports of what God is doing. Four years ago, I remember a lot of discouragement among the leaders. It seemed the prayer movement was stagnant and struggling. One prayer leader, Dr. Bob Bakke, stood up and declared that the Church needs a unifying clarion call to revival and spiritual awakening.

These prayer leaders are now expressing joy that we are seeing the answers to those prayers, especially related to Together 2016. They recognize this as a “generation-defining moment” and are eager to join with students and young adults in calling the Church to prayer like never before. Many other prayer initiatives are also rising up across the nation, indicating that God is preparing to do something spectacular in 2016. As we pray, hope is being restored!

Our focus this month is on college students and campuses around the country. Right now hundreds of students are fasting and praying for a Reset to Jesus of their campuses and our nation...

Praise God for the support of national prayer leaders for Together. Pray that they will mobilize their networks to pray in advance of July 16.

• Keep praying for a million or more people to come to the Mall. We’re hearing reports of buses and hotel rooms being booked. Pray about joining us!
• Michael W. Smith just confirmed to be part of Together. His humble heart is a model for all of us. Pray that humility and the focus on Jesus will be the highest values for those who lead us.
• Pray for endurance, patience, and wisdom for those on the Together team who lead areas of communication, program, funding, partnerships, church relations, prayer, and logistics. Every day presents both challenges and progress in organizing such a huge event.
• Several wonderful financial gifts have come in to support Together. More invitations to partner are still out with other potential contributors. Please pray for favor—and for every expense to be covered.
• Pray for Nick Hall and Chris McFarland as they give critical leadership and meet with heads of many ministries and organizations. Pray also for other staff now relocated to Washington, D.C., to form partnerships with churches in the area. We want this to represent the broad stream of the Church—anyone willing to come together because they believe Jesus Changes Everything. 

Honored to pray with you,

Carol Madison
