I'm reading Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire by Jim Cymbala. This guy is the pastor of The Brooklyn Tabernacle Church. I'm not quite done with it, but so far this book is just filled with unbelievable stories about the power of prayer. Their prayer meetings are the anchor of this church. There's one part that particularly struck me as amazing. Kenneth Ware is one of their associate pastors.
"Then he (Kenneth Ware) organized a Prayer Band - a group of people committed to calling on the Lord at church on a continuing schedule. Soon the members of the Prayer Band were praying five nights a week, from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Today they are in the church seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, praying in three-hour shifts or longer. Every request we receive is written on a little card and lifted to the Lord for the next thirty days." p.99
Wow, that's just amazing to me. If you haven't read this book, you really should.
