God has stirred up our hearts to pray and we have responded. We, as a college, came to recognize the intense spiritual attacks happening in this college. Class and Student Ministry meetings were cancelled and a bunch of us came together in Room 1 to pray and to seek the face of God. It was a beautiful time of surrender unto God and the work of the Holy Spirit. We repented as a Church and as Canadians. We came together at the front of the classroom to confess sins in general, then had our RDs, RAs, SRC, and WAT and Student Ministry leaders gather in the middle so we could pray for them, committed ourselves to submit to their authority and to pray for them throughout the year, and they committed themselves to submit to God. We took a brief break then had a time of one-on-one confession of sins, repentance for sins, and prayer for one another. We took another brief break, then came back and broke into groups of about 10 and (heading in different directions) "marched" in a line outside around the campus and dorms, praying for our school and the town. Our group detoured to Kentwood to pray over it as well, then continued on around the dorms and the campus. We got to the chapel to continue worshiping through music, prayer, and communion.
For those who are not here, please hold us up in your prayers. For those who are here and participated in this, please remember the commitments you made this day.

God has also been at work in physical healing: my friends' mom is done with chemo FOREVER! God, thank You so much for displaying Your love for us in these ways as well!

One thing that also stood out to me today during prayer: We live in a country of freedom, where we can preach the gospel without persecution, yet we (the Church) are hardly on the scene. OF COURSE WE'RE NOT BEING PERSECUTED!!! WE RARELY DO ANYTHING TO THREATEN THE ENEMY!!! (Apathy and complacency anyone?) When are we going to press into God and step out and make a difference in this world???
