ONE Week and Counting!

We look forward to seeing you in Birmingham next week! We hope you'll be praying toward our meetings and come expectant for God to work!

Pray for our speakers and those involved in preparing for the events:

Father, Thank you for the 241 participants registered for Convergence and Accelerate 2010! We ask you to bring more to the doors next week! We ask that You would bring each person whose voice is needed at these events and who You will use and bless through these events. Let no one who should be there be kept away by conflicts, schedules, or last minute circumstances.

We intercede for the speakers who will inspire us, rally us, and minister to us. For Dr. John Perkins and Dr. Paul Cedar, for researchers Dave Olson and David Kinnaman, for Convergence speakers George Otis. Jr., Kent Humphreys, Glenn Barth, Jarvis Ward, Tom White, Bob Varney and for table facilitators and responders - we ask for Your anointing upon each one, for their hearts to be sensitive to your Holy Spirit and for each participant to hear clearly the Word of God for their life and ministry back home, resulting in an unprecedented acceleration of your Great Commsion in cities and town, young and old, among all the peoples of our country.

We intercede for those finalizing details for the events - the Convergence and Accelerate 2010 planning teams, the Mission America Coalition staff and the National City Impact Roundtable staff and volunteers. Let details fall into place, let obstacles or setbacks be quickly resolved, let all of the resources at the hotel be in order for the needs of our meetings.

Finally, we intercede for the staff and managers at the Sheraton Birmingham. May our presence in their hotel bring glory to You. May the presence of your Holy Spirit be undeniable. May those who don't know You be drawn toward You through seeing You in us...

Please add your own prayer before you move on - With our thanks and accelerating expectations!
