Concert of Prayer: Tanzania

Hey Readers!

I just wanted to point out the lower section of this Concert of Prayer edition. Have you noticed this section? Take these prayer reminders with you. There easy, practical, and pretty ordinary reminders to keep your praying after the concert ends. Ministry will continue to grow and strengthen through prayer. Here is the reminder for Tanzania. You'll never look at trees the same.

Save a Tree, Pray for the Church

Wouldn’t you love to go on a safari? Talk about seeing God’s amazing creation up close! One of the most iconic images of Tanzania is a lone acacia tree pictured against a stunning sunset. We want God to bless the church in Tanzania so it can grow as tall and strong as these trees. Do you know of a particularly special tree in your town? The next time you drive, walk, or bike by, take some time to pray for the church in Tanzania.

Join the concert tomorrow as we pray for Uganda, Africa.

Septemeber 15: Burundi

Readers,

Hope you were able to join the concert call today. There were about 24 people who joined the concert to cover the field of Burundi in prayer. The prayer time was lead by yours truly. Our missionary staff person was unable to connect with us today so I had the privilege of leading this concert event.

The interesting thing about the field of Burundi is that World Gospel Mission's service to this field is short-term through Light University. How can you be part of this ministry? The school is in need of teachers from Communications (video, radio, etc.) to teaching English as a Second Language. Can you give a semester of your time to serve in Burundi? Could they be waiting for you?

Don't forget to check out The Call pages on the web. Listen to an exclusive podcast about Africa. And join us tomorrow as we lift the field of Tanzania in prayer.

See you at the concert!

Technical Difficulties

Readers,

I am so sorry for the technical difficulty we experienced today. We heard from several of you who called in and did not get to hear the prayer. There was a glitch in the conference system and we have been on the phone with our provider trusting that this will not happen again.

Please take a moment to pray for the field of Kenya. Jon Steury did a wonderful job praying through the missionary staff serving in this area. You can pray for them too. Click on this link to see a list of those sharing the gospel in Kenya.

Join us tomorrow as we pray for the field of Burundi. God Bless.

Concert of Prayer: Ready for the show?

It's coming. We are less than a week away. Are you ready?

I am feeling nervous, excited, and challenged by the upcoming Encore: Concert of Prayer. I have committed to serving as the HQ back-up the first week of the concert event. For me, this is one of those tasks that put the butterflies in my belly very actively in motion. I mean who really wants to stumble over their words or say something silly in front of hundreds of people? I think that would be most of us.

Honestly the prayer time is so challenging. I missed one day of our prayer time last year and I need to redeem myself. It's a huge commitment. Do you how many places you can find yourself at 12 noon (EDST)? From fast food restaurants to the office, dropping everything and taking time to pray can be a challenge. But well worth it. If you participated in the concert last year you know that the experience is a blessing.

God shows up every time. It's such a blessing to experience concentrated with other believers.

If you miss one concert events (like I did) check out www.wgm.org/call. I'll be posting a recording of our prayer time on the site every day.

Hope I'll get to pray with you and your family and friends at the concert. We start on Monday, September 14 with Kenya. Join me and others as Jon Steury leads us in prayer.

See you at the concert!

Welcome Concert Goer!

Your ticket into the concert of prayer event of the year will arrive shortly! You’ve been upgraded to VIP status with an all access 30-day pass. Your ticket (your magazine) allows you to cover a World Gospel Mission field in prayer from September 14 through October 13.

30 days—30 mission fields!

The most amazing part—a miracle of modern technology that recreates WGM’s historic Prayer Bands for the 21st century:

Call in daily (along with hundreds of other concert goers) on a special toll-free number to pray together live with a missionary serving on that field –
a sort of backstage pass, if you will!

So, spread the word to your family, church, and friends. This has the potential to be WGM’s largest simultaneous prayer effort in history, as we bathe our fields around the world in prayer!

Like last year I will be attending the concert and giving you my thoughts on the days events right here so stay tuned.

Your concert experience begins September 14.

Happy Reading,

Kristi Crisp
