Another busy night at the prayer room. When I walked in around 8ish tonight there were people praying, chilling on couches reading, filling almost every station, headphones on checking out the videos, pacing the paper prayer path, a worship band sitting in the back space interceding, their instruments all scattered at around their feet. Tomorrow is Friday & my in-box is spilling over with To-Do stuff. Saturday got people coming in from out of town to spend time at 24-7. Will try to make some time to connect with them while still managing the Justice Project teams that hit the streets every weekend. Busy next few days that will give way to a slower next week more focused on vision casting in the city.

Our Charotte 24-7 Prayer room is filled with young people most every night now. Staff having to stay sometimes past 10pm so as not to interrupt what God is doing in those young hearts sprawled out in personal prayer. There’s no sermon, except the one God is preaching uniquely to each heart. There’s no worship band, except the best the world has to offer in worship music wafting out of the ipod hooked up to the stereo, which is helping to set the stage for the divine romance filling the spaces with the sound of faces on floor, & paces on the floor, & prayer ascending. Yeah, hosting the encounter between God & man,,, this is why we exist.

Just back from the VH community org meeting. Gave their leaders the debrief of all the Justice Project has accomplished so far. Seemed like a lot looking at all listed on one sheet of paper. 157 hours of prayer. 125.7 man hours on the street, & we are only three months in. Whew! What a mad mission. What a wild ride so far. +Crazy busy in the prayer room tonight as 24-7 hosted various groups which filled every conceivable sit-space with bodies in community hatching ideas, making plans, sharing life-stories & even sharing struggles. Good use of the rooms tonight, small groups-o-rama
