Dear
Fellow Prayer Warrior, August,
2006
Greetings in the name of the Lord. It is election time again and the primaries are right
around the corner – September 5th. The general election is Tuesday
November 7th. There seems to be a spirit of slumber on the church
regarding these elections – one we must throw off! Who WE elect will have a very significant impact on our nation, state
and local regions. The governor, US Senate and US House of Representatives
races will have a huge impact for our state and nation. If you have prayed for
transformation, will you not also vote for it?
Marketplace Focus Groups
The orientation
meeting for the Marketplace Focus Groups is Thursday night August 10th
at 7:30 p.m. at Florida Christian University, 5950 Lakehurst Drive, Orlando. These groups will encourage, envision and
equip people to have an impact for the Kingdom at their place of work. Please
call Judy at 407-905-0444 ASAP if you want to come check it out. If you miss
this first meeting you can still participate in future meetings, call Judy for
details.
Pray Central Florida Jail Ministry
Update-Volunteers Needed
We have had teams of
people ministering in the Orange and Seminole County jails for almost 5 years
now. We teach 11 groups of men, women and juveniles on prayer and experiencing
the presence of God and then we spend time in God’s presence, allowing the Holy
Spirit to minister to our hearts. People are saved, healed emotionally and
physically, equipped and encouraged to be the Body of Christ in their jail. We
currently have more invitations to minister than we can handle and are
praying for a few more people to join our teams. We minister in
multi-denominational (Christian), multi-racial and multi-gender teams so no
matter who you are this is a great way to learn or progress in ministry. No
jail experience is necessary but you must be between 18 and 90, have a solid
walk with the Lord and be teachable. Ladies should be 40+ to minister in the
men’s meetings. We also partner with churches to help them start or expand
their own jail ministries. E-mail George at praycf@juno.com for more information.

Subject: Invitation
Dear Marketplace Leaders:
Sometimes it can get rather lonely trying to cope with the
challenges of marketplace. As new levels of awareness are being directed
toward the importance of believers placed in this area, it can become a
swirl of information as to our potential and where we land in the mix. To
help establish your mindsets and find direction, Lion's Roar International is
partnering with business professionals who understand the trends and how they
associate with Christian endeavors for changing times. Whether you are
just beginning in the marketplace, well established with enterprenural
background, or a business professional with years of experience, you're welcome! Perhaps you
will have something special to share during the discussion time that will add valuable
flavor to the mix and lend support to others.
Our purpose in offering these pilot groups are two-fold: 1) To establish a foundation in the city for moving into a
harvest mentality; 2) To support those of you already in the labor force
and assist you in advancing your call. An added incentive for
these groups will be to consider making them available after the first of the
year as ongoing encouragement and backing. Your participation will help
make the decision.
If you are interested in support, please review the attached flyer
[editor’s note – the information from the attachment is pasted below this
letter] and RSVP ASAP.
Please feel free to ask questions regarding the sessions which, by the way, are
free....no fee for any of the sessions. You can sign up for one, two,
three, or all but we ask that you DO
respond so we can properly prepare.
We look forward to partnering with you for affecting the city
through your gift.

Blessings to You, Mighty Warriors!
The next Day of Refreshing will be on August 19 at Capdevila's
(LaTeresita) Restaurant in Tampa. We are
honored to host Congresswoman Katherine Harris, who is running for the U.S.
Senate.
Katherine Harris' name has been regularly in the media over the past few
years. She was the face of the Florida vote re-count during the 2000
presidential elections. As the Florida Secretary of State, it was her
responsibility to preside over the vote re-count, and certify the authenticity
of the vote. This proved to be a watershed moment in modern U.S.
history. In the final analysis, the authority for the election fell upon
Katherine's shoulders.
I had not been familiar with her before that time, but something told me she
was a strong Believer. One would have to be supernaturally empowered to
stand up under that kind of pressure without totally collapsing. I was
certainly not the only one who spent countless hours in fasting and prayer for
her, and for that election. And the impression about the strength of her
faith proved to be on-target -- she is an uncompromising believer who relies
solely upon the Lord for her strength.
A couple of weeks ago, I ran into Katherine at a conference. She began to
download a series of confirming signs and wonders that have solidified her
resolve to stay in the U.S. Senate race. There is no question that the
Lord has called her to serve Him in elected office. The challenges she
has faced in this race have been unbelievable. Scandal, staged
employee walk-outs with the obligatory press conferences to malign her
integrity, a lack of support from the highest Republican party
leaders -- these are the elements of soap operas. But this is not
melodramatic theatrical entertainment. This has been part of the supernatural
challenges she has faced ever since she announced her intention to run for this
office. Most recently, she had to undergo surgery to inspect a suspicious
mass on her ovary. Praise God, it proved to be benign. But this
health issue has come at a time when she has had everything in the world thrown
as obstacles in her path. Incredibly, she continues to press on.
The stakes have never been higher for Christians in public service.
Our nation hangs in the balance. The level of warfare has escalated beyond
anything we've ever seen.
Some of you have emailed me with thoughts you've had based on media
reports. These emails have expressed questions that any thinking person
would have after watching the news. There hasn't been condemnation, but
certainly questions that beg to be asked -- her seeming inability to work with
a cohesive staff, questionable campaign donors who are now facing criminal
charges, the lack of support from party leaders, health issues that could
possibly affect her ability to offer quality leadership...?
Let me offer this: Come and hear for yourself what Katherine
Harris has to say.
There will be no 10-second sound bites that skew and slant what is actually
said. You will have the opportunity to hear the full story of what is NOT
REPORTED. After speaking with her personally, I can tell you this
lady has things to say that are well-worth hearing! And you
will NEVER hear them in the media. Ever.
Many of our prayer warriors have sensed some rather shocking sub-plots going on
under the radar in relation to this particular campaign race. I brought
these up to Katherine in our conversation a couple of weeks ago -- she was so
relieved to know that the Lord was uncovering things to those who will pray and
hear His voice. She was also visibly moved to know that there are many in
the Body of Christ who have been called to
prayer-support believers who are called to public service. The
impressions our warriors had proved to be spot-on.
Prayer Harvest cares deeply about the level of spiritual protection that is
offered to our leaders. We are not concerned with political party
affiliation, but rather the integrity of character and a life of
holiness. We are most effective when we offer up informed intercession
before the Lord, combining the authority of the Word of God with the calling He
places on His people.
Please make your plans to attend this critical meeting. The cost of
$25 includes a delicious Cuban lunch from one of Tampa's most-loved Latin
restaurants. Our meeting will begin at 10 a.m. with powerful
prophetic worship. You will have the opportunity to network with others
who are like-minded in their quest to go deeper with the Lord.

standing with them in prayer!

(5) Steve Strang endorses Katherine Harris for U.S. Senate
Date: Sun, 16
Jul 2006 23:08:35 EDT
Subject: Katherin Harris for U. S. Senate
Vote for Katherine
Harris for U.S. Senate
By Stephen Strang
For most of my life, Christians have sat on the sidelines when it came to
politics. And why not? Politics often
seemed “dirty” and many candidates who were running weren’t people we felt we
could support. If we voted, it seemed it was usually for “the lesser of
two evils.” And besides, we didn’t think our votes counted anyway.
Add to that the fact that a 1954 law pushed by then-Senator Lyndon Johnson
forbids churches from getting involved politically or they might lose their
tax-exempt status. So it was just easier for those of us in the church to
do nothing.
All that is now changing. The
reason? While we did nothing, things got worse and worse in our
country. By our passivity, we allowed “the other side” to pass laws
sometimes legalizing things we believe is wrong—gambling is a good
example. Or judges were put into positions in which they didn’t
interpret the law, instead they became activists who often found
“rights” in state and federal constitutions that were not truly
there.
That’s why, after all these years, I’m finally getting involved and I’m working
hard to get others involved. That’s why I’m endorsing Katherine Harris for
U.S. Senate here in my home state of Florida. Thankfully in our
democracy, we still have the right to change things at the ballot box, and to
me, electing Katherine Harris will help change things.
I believe the very core values that has made America
strong—the sanctity of human life, the sacredness of marriage and the family,
basic morality, protecting the freedom of our faith—are under vehement attack
by those who would like to see a very different America.
Congresswoman Harris’ voting record has been unwaveringly strong and consistent
for life, morality, the family, national security and a strong economy while
assisting the poor.
Just as important, Katherine never compromises her convictions for political
favor or gain. Now Katherine needs our help in her race for the U.S.
Senate. In my opinion, she is unquestionably the right choice for this
seat. A simple comparison between her and her opponent in the general
election, Bill Nelson, should make this choice obvious.
In her previous roles as a state legislator, as secretary of state, and as a
congresswoman, Katherine has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us. Now it’s
time to stand with her. I know her personally, and I know she is a woman
of deep faith and strong values. I sincerely believe she is “one of us”
and deserves our support.
What can you do?
First, you can give. If you believe in “planting seeds” (as many of us
are taught to do in church) then I believe giving to her campaign is planting a
seed for a stronger and better America. Running a campaign is
expensive. Campaign laws forbid corporations from giving and limit
individual contributions to $2,100 per person per election. That means a
husband and wife can give a total of $4,200 for the primary and that amount
again for the general election.
My wife and I are giving the maximum we can. We are also hosting a
fund-raiser for her in Lake Mary—the first time we’ve ever done this for a
political candidate. That’s how much we believe in her candidacy and how
much we believe that people who believe like we do must step to the plate
financially to offset the huge war chest that Bill Nelson apparently has from
liberal interests who want him re-elected.
You may not be able to give the maximum amount, but you can give something and
you can persuade your friends to give what they can. You can go to her
campaign website—www.electharris.com—to give online. You can also get
more information on her campaign.
Other Christian leaders are beginning to publicly support her, not in their
ministry roles, but as individuals. They include Dr. and Mrs. D. James Kennedy,
Randy and Paula White, Kim and Ardell Daniels,
Guillermo and Ana Muldonado--all from Florida. Nationally, Dutch Sheets, Cindy Jacobs, Harry
Jackson and others are encouraging those in their sphere of influence to vote
for Katherine Harris.
Finally, you can pray. Since I know her personally, I know of her
humility, genuineness and love for America and love for God. We
desperately need people with her experience, intelligence, unwavering integrity
and convictions fighting for us in the U.S. Senate. This is important for
the future of this country, for the future of our culture and for the future of
our families.
I encourage you to give to her campaign, to get your friends to support her
candidacy, and then to vote for her. She needs our votes in the primary
September 5--which I believe she will easily win over her inexperienced and
largely unknown rivals—and then again in the general election against Bill
Nelson on Nov. 7.

Program Description
In June 2001, the City of Orlando announced a $50,000 pilot program designed to
encourage tax exempt, 501(c)(3) faith-based and community organizations to
partner with neighborhood organizations, the business community, and the City
of Orlando to offer children, youth, or family support programs. The City
assembled a Citizen Advisory Committee of representatives from the local
community to develop guidelines and requirements for the program.
Today, this program continues to
award matching grants from $5,000 to $10,000 to qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations. Eligible organizations applying for a
grant must match, at a minimum, the City awarded grant amount. In addition, the
grant funded programs must foster community service and volunteerism in one of
two categories – character development or civic responsibility.
Character Development
This category includes projects or programs that nurture and support positive
character development in children, youth, and families through proven
techniques. Character Development involves the enhancement of such traits as
patience, respect for others, generosity, integrity, appreciation of diversity,
self-discipline, and loyalty. Activities must be scheduled during non-school
hours and must include a parental involvement component.
Civic Responsibility
These projects or programs should develop and support civic involvement among
children, youth, and families. Civic responsibility involves the enhancement of
such traits as fairness, trustworthiness, good citizenship, responsibility, and
volunteerism. Activities must be scheduled during non-school hours and must
include a parental involvement component.
Who is Eligible?
Faith-Based or Community Organizations that have been designated tax exempt,
501(c)(3), for at least six months (documentation required) having experience
managing and implementing children, youth, or family support programs.
Qualifying organizations must be located in or provide services within
Orlando's city limits. The organization must establish a partnership with a
City neighborhood organization to be eligible to apply for the matching grant.
Neighborhood Organizations are defined as homeowners' associations, condominium
associations, or residents' associations within Orlando's city limits. These
Neighborhood Organizations are listed with the City of Orlando's Office of
Neighborhood & Community Affairs. The Neighborhood Organization will need
to establish a partnership with an eligible faith-based or community
organization to apply for the matching grant.
2006-07 Coming Soon!
Grant applications and guidelines are downloadable from this website and are also available at the City of Orlando's Office of Neighborhood & Community Affairs, Orlando City Hall, 2nd Floor, 400 S. Orange Ave., P O Box 4990, Orlando, FL 32802-4990.

(10) Enjoy The
Coffee
From: JoyJ
Enjoy The Coffee
A group of alumni, highly established
in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with
a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass,
crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to
help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of
coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking
expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for
yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be
assured that the cup itself, adds no quality to the
coffee in most cases, just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we
drink.
What all of you really wanted
was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... and then
began eyeing each other's cups.
Now consider this: Life is the
coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They
are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not
define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by
concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided
us."
God brews the coffee, not the
cups..........enjoy your coffee
May the Lord bless you
"in deed"
Colossians 3:23 What ever you do, work
at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.

FIJI -
POWERFUL REVIVAL - Eyewitness Account
-by Gary Schmitz.
I just
returned from a 2 week trip to the Island nation of Fiji where
one of the most powerful transforming revivals in the
world is
underway. During my
time I attended the Global Transformation
Conference
with George Otis, Jr and other world leaders involved
in revivals in their nations. Many Fijian pastors, tribal chiefs and
government leaders were also in attendance and we heard
tremendous reports from around the world. God is moving everywhere!
The
revival in Fiji has powerfully impacted between 200 and 250
villages and we were able to visit 6 of these villages during
our trip.
Hearing
the testimonies of chiefs, pastors, village elders and the
ordinary people who have been impacted by this revival was the
most life changing experience of my life. I will never be the same
and I sense such a fresh renewed passion to see revival
here in the
KC region. The stories
are consistant from one end of the islands
to the other.... Villages are on a waiting list for the
revival to come
to their region.... A team of 30 - 40 young people with
a group
called Healing the Land Team come to the village and begin
fasting
and praying for about 2 weeks. Then a Fijian pastor named Chief
Vuniyani brings the revival team in to teach the gospel. The Holy
Spirit
brings conviction and then there is an outpouring of
repentence, brokenness, reconciliation of families, churches and
relationships. They
typically have a bonfire to burn all occult and
witchcraft and other materials and then the glory of God comes
to
every village with signs and wonders following. Tremendous
quantities of fish return to once barren waters, fruit and
vegetables
begin growing in abundance and unprecedented size, poisoned
streams have become crystal pure overnight, coral reefs are
being
restored, dozens of new species of fish and coral (with no
names)
are appearing, there are physical healings, gentle
healing rainfall
returns to drought stricken lands, there is extraordinary
academic
improvement among children, etc. etc. etc. etc..... I could go on
and on and on with stories. Had I not been there and heard the
stories over and over I would think this is impossible....
but as you
all know, with God, NOTHING is impossible. I have now stood in
villages living under an open heaven. I have witnessed and felt the
spirit of revival. I
have seen the joy of God on faces and smiles
bigger than the full moon!
The
government is being transformed and the laws of the nation
are being rewritten to align with Biblical values. There is wonderful
unity and reconcilation among
churches across the land and
healing between native Fijians and Indo-Fijians. I was deeply
moved as I interviewed numerous men and women who had
experienced fresh powerful transforming revival in their personal
lives and in their families. The joy of the Lord was so contagious.
I think I
got infected!
I hope we
can all fall on our faces and cry out to God
with desperate prayers that He would send a great revival
and
spiritual awakening to the KC region. Please Lord do this
here! I
have come home with a new sense of urgency. We cannot wait
another 2 years or 10 years.... I believe our city is ripe
for
breakthrough into revival.
If it is
in God's great heart to send a revival to Fiji, Uganda,
Almolonga Guatemala, Cali Columbia,
the Arctic region, Kenya,
Argentina,
etc. and etc. then it seems implausible to me that He
would not desire to send revival to Kansas City! I discerned 4
common threads over and over in the Fiji villages and in
reports
from revivals in the other nations mentioned above...here
they are:
1. Prayer with Fasting is always there
2. An Outpouring of Unity among pastors and
leaders
3. 2 Chronicles 7:14 appears to be the
prescription: "If My people
who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray
and
turn from their evil ways...then I will hear from heaven
and will heal
their land...."
Humility, prayer, deep repentance, turning to God in
faith, then God responds with powerful revival every time!
4. There is always DESPERATION for God.
Is there
anything on this list that we cannot offer to God here?
Please
join in where people are thirsting for these same principles
and longing for revival.
I dream of the day God comes and makes
history in our city.
What will it look like to live in the days of
transforming revival in your life and in your community?
