TheCall Kansas City: Making America a House of Prayer
Historic outpourings of the Holy Spirit have always been preceded by an extraordinary movement of prayer and fasting led by ordinary men and women. History bears witness to this reality with Evan Roberts and the Welsh Revival, with Frank Bartleman and the Azusa Street Revival, with Count Zinzendorf and the Moravian movement, and, above all, with the young disciples gathered in the Upper Room in Acts 2 that led to the rapid expansion of the Church in the first century. Again, a generation is emerging that is laying hold of the prophetic promise of revival in this nation. 2008 looms largely ahead of us and is rapidly becoming the battlefield on which a generation must contend for revival. It will take nothing less than a nationwide movement of prayer and fasting . Thus, we are believing that every family, every church, every business, and every college campus will become a House of Prayer (Isaiah 56:7). We believe that 2008 will be a year that is marked with prayer and fasting–with young adults starting prayer furnaces on college campuses, with men and women starting prayer meetings in the marketplace, with local churches becoming day and night houses of prayer. Over ten years ago, the Lord gave a prophetic friend of mine a profound dream that pointed me back to my life's calling and vocation. In the dream, a Buddhist house of prayer sat atop a Christian house of prayer and dominated it. But then, the Christian house of prayer began to wrestle with the Buddhist house of prayer and began to overpower it. Through this dream, the Lord resoundingly spoke to me and challenged me to "raise up a house of prayer that contends with every other house." Moreover, just a few years later, through a series of profound prophetic events, the Lord spoke to me prophetically that "wherever TheCall goes, I (the Lord) will establish My House of Prayer."To that end, we are calling for 30,000+ to gather in Kansas City on December 31 for TheCall Kansas City where we will seek God in fasting and prayer to visit this nation with a historic revival and cry out to God to establish His House of Prayer in cities all across America. I believe that our nation has yet to see the Church in its full potential to transform cities. However, I believe that a new sound is emerging that will explore the limitless power from on high when we partner with God through unceasing prayer and fasting. I believe that now is America's time to raise up Houses of Prayer in cities all across the nation to contend for breakthrough!For more information, visit http://www.thecall.com/.

A New Grandson

It's about time that I did a little bragging. Our middle child, Alicia, and her husband, Ashley are the proud parents of a new little boy -Ashtyn. He was born a week and 2 days ago - December 15 to be exact. He weighed in at 7.5 pounds and stands 20.5 inches tall - actually he stretches to 20.5 inches long - horizontal. He has dark hair and, according to his very biased dad, he looks like the Mills side of the family. Here's a pic of the little guy's hair, just to demonstrate the dark hair part.




Now for a fuller view:






As you can see, we got our Christmas present early this year.

Speaking of Christmas - I pray that yours is filled with wonder and blessing. And I pray that Jesus will be born anew in your heart every moment of every day.
