Back From Brinkley

Well, I've been back from Brinkley, Arkansas for a couple of days now. It was a great trip and we met some really great people. If you think about it, pray for those good folks at the United Methodist Church in Brinkley. The pastor there is David Swift and his wife is Anne - both are special people seeking to minister well in the name of Jesus.

We arrived back in Kansas City just in time to participate in the three day Global Bridegroom Fast at the House of Prayer. The GBF is a monthly global solemn assembly that lasts for three days. It always occurs the first Monday through Wednesday of each month. In addition, the GBF for December lasts 7 days. When you add it all together, we have 11 months of 3 day fasts and one month of 7 fasting days which totals to 40 days of fasting each year. During the Global Bridegroom Fast, we are calling believers worldwide to join together in prayer and fasting for revival.


It's a good thing that we came back from Brinkley into 3 days of fasting, because we ate way too much while we were there. Those Methodists know how to put on the feed bag! My favorite was a chess pie that was to die for! They were talking about inviting us to come back sometime in August - I'm hoping for more pie if they do.
