We recently returned from Myanmar and shared the amazing history making testimonies that is being produced through the praying Church and Mount Horeb Prayer Center.  They had a vision for this prayer center for over 20 years.  It was not until I trained a minister who helped them employ ORT/1Church1Day that they were actually able to realize this vision.  It's now impacting the 7 mountains of culture right now at a local and even a national level and this article in Our Mission Report and Seeking Fruit that Abounds to Your Account explains what I mean. 

Kawl is the minister I've mentored like a son in the Lord.  We taught him to pray and obey and I began mentoring him in 2006.  After he'd help establish MT Horeb Prayer Center and taken 1Church1Day through Myanmar and even to the underground Church in Indonesia God spoke to him about the orphans.  

So in 2016 the Adonai Children's Rehabilitation was established.  The goal, reach out to the orphans and prepare the next generation to transform their nation. 

Here's some pictures and a video or two below from our visit just last month.  They are so precious but you can see, the all sleep in one room.  Boys and girls!  It's all they have and now, we have a few who are becoming teenagers. 

Join us January 17-18 in Elma Washington for a historic moment.  It's based upon the revelation in Lamentations 5:14-18 which reveals when Zion was desolate the elders stopped gathering in the gates.  

Last year leaders in our state adopted the 1Church1Day model to mobilize prayer even as I met with state leaders in Olympia at the beginning of our last legislative session.  These leaders asked for "the Church" to pray.

As of today we have 25 days each month in Washington State covered with 24/7 prayer.  The houses of prayer associated with the Northwest Prayer Gathering who is hosting this "Winter Burn" has played a big role along with other churches and ministries in building this canopy of continual prayer just like King David did on Mount Zion. 
​
Since continual prayer is being established over our state, so ought the elders to be sat back in the gates. Our goal, 24/7/365 prayer with the elders (leaders with actual jurisdiction) established back in the gates so they can consult with one another and to seek God for the wisdom needed to address the challenges of this day.  

So we are connecting civil leaders, with God's prophets, God's people and God's presence.  We'd love to see you join us to pray and lend your voice to the decree and our efforts to obey Isaiah 9:6-7. 

Join us Friday night January 17th to discover: 

• How there is a remnant arising and a people that's been pioneering the house of prayer in our state.
• The godly leaders we are going to pray for and send them in 2020 into all 7 spheres of society.
• How this strategy used by the Church in India and Myanmar recently made history as the Christian population doubled and Christians now occupy the highest political positions they've ever held in each respective nation.
• How leaders in our state, business, government, media, education, healthcare, the family and the Church are helping develop decrees which the Church can then proclaim.
• How we are leveraging the exponential power of agreement and how you can be involved in exponentially increasing that power. 
• How the house of God is actually the gate of heaven and much more.  

When, where and what else?  

We've just returned from missions trip to India and Myanmar and I am thrilled to report long term fruit.  Paul shares with us a concept in Philippians 4 about the benefit that accrues to those who partnered with him and his outreach to Thessalonica.  In verse 17 he says, "Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account."  

You see, God is faithful.  There is an eternal reward and there is also a concept in scripture wherein we want to see fruit and fruit that remains.  It's like a seed of a plant that when full grown continues to bear fruit time and again.  That's what we have here in India and Myanmar. 

I want everyone who has partnered with us to recognize that you've invested wisely into a kingdom endeavor that is producing long term results.  You know, it is one thing to present a vision but it is quite another to see a strategy employed that leads to long term proven transformational results that is affecting the destiny of a nation. For years we've stewarded a corporate strategy modeled after what King David did on Mount Zion in the Tabernacle of David. This trip was especially satisfying as we saw some of the long term fruit being produced in two of some of the most persecuted nations on the planet.  Open Doors listed India as the 10th worst and Myanmar as number 18 on the list of the top twenty nations.

A young minister named Kawl in Myanmar found me in 2006.  When we first started working with him we had to use an alias as his nation was still under control of a military junta at the time.  Our training equipped him to help ministers from seven denominations to work together to fulfill a 20 year vision.  They began using ORT (1Church1Day) in 2008 and by 2010 it led to their acquisition of a mountain which became home to MT Horeb Prayer Center.  By 2011 the government began to change and that liberty led to us being able to visit them in 2013.  

Now this is where it gets really exciting. 

On April 13, 2019 Warring Dove International hosted me at a church in Fort Worth Texas. As I have witnessed throughout the years many times God marked the message I was giving with lightning and thunderstorms and even some tornadoes.  My assignment that day was to present the 1Church1Day strategy which was previously called Operation Rolling Thunder.  

It's a strategy that helps the Church in a network, local area or a region establish continual prayer, praise and worship which seats the courtroom of heaven. It is a modern application of the pattern that King David used in Mount Zion to establish 24/7 prayer so that the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, Counsel and Might would be invited into the presence of his councils.  

In Lamentations 5:14 and 18 we find that when Zion is desolate, the elders no longer gathered in the gates.  Besides re-establishing 24/7 the strategy includes a practical method for actually seating the elders back in the gates so to speak.  We use the 7 mountains or 7 spheres along with the five fold ministry as a starting place to do that.  In a sense, its a way to establish God's government on earth as it is in heaven.  

In Exodus 18 and 20 we find a type and a shadow of this. Here, Moses established order in the camp by choosing "men who fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, and to place them as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifty, and rulers of tens."  Then he went up to Mount Sinai where God gave him the 10 Commandments.  Here, God's presence encountered Moses, the earth and the atmosphere.  We find lightning and thundering associated with God's presence and His voice.  We find these kinds of testimonies all
through scripture and I've found it still happens today.  

In my book, Operation Rolling Thunder - Revised Edition click here you'll find the history of the strategy now known as 1Church1Day.  Using King David's pattern which he established in the tabernacle on Mount Zion we establish 24/7 prayer, praise and worship.  Why?  It's because prayer, praise and worship are the atmosphere of heaven and it makes God welcome here on earth.  Psalm 18:6-14 was the scripture God used to help name this strategy Operation Rolling Thunder in 2004.  The sweet Psalmist of Israel, King David penned this Psalm saying,

Last night we made history in Washington state as 3 legislators with the Washington Legislative Prayer Caucus,  over dinner at Daniel’s Prayer Ministry whose prayer is led by Elizabeth Sorenson adopted the 1Church1Day strategy for our state forming an apostolic/strategic council. 

The beauty of this is the decrees and alerts for this state will come directly from those who are on the front lines and have actual jurisdiction.  The 1Church1Day system provides a way, a common communication protocol if you will,  to connect diverse churches, ministries networks and individuals  so we can all pray about what’s going on in our state.  Just download the app. Click here for Android devices on Google Play and click here for Iphones and IOS devices on Apple Itunes. 

I shared with them the strategy last night using the video above to share the vision and I also highlighted the characteristics of a nation where Zion was desolate using Lamentations 5:14 & 18.  It says that when Zion was desolate, in other words, no coordinated 24/7 prayer like David had on MT Zion, that the elders no longer gathered in the gates. 

Last night that was changed.  The elders are being seated for civil government in the state gate.  I did what King David did 1 Chronicles 13:2-3, I presented the vision to leaders for bringing back God’s presence to our state and said  if this seems good and if it is of the Lord then let us send out to our brethren.  They said yes, and authorized me, sent us us to go and mobilize 24/7 I this state, my state, and I’ll be working to establish state councils in the other 6 spheres and the 5 fold in this state.  

​In 1988 God gave me a vision which I prophesied about in Springfield Christian Center in Springfield Oregon.  Dr. Larry Lea’s father in the faith, Bob Wilhite was the special speaker that day when I prophesied what I saw regarding how the body of Christ would mobilize and connect as the army of the Lord to pray.  The image that best represents that vision now resides on the home page of our app.  It was during this meeting that the prophetic gift was first recognized in my life.

This was before we had even heard of an internet or the world wide web. Little did I realize at the time that this word was also a personal assignment.

Thirty years later the vision is becoming a reality.  This is why I think it's important to share a little history. 
 
The revelation and message Christ gave me to steward was first embodied in CONECT (Christian Outreach Network Establishing Church-wide Teamwork).  It was designed to work by hand and through fax machines. As I proved God's word and this system in churches like Word of His Grace and communities like Springfield Oregon our technology matured. By the time CONECT matured into Operation Rolling Thunder (ORT) in 2005 email, website, Word and a variety of online forms were used.  The system was the same but the technology evolved. As it evolves, it allows us to equip leaders to become even more effective in mobilizing their people to pray.

Now I know most of you are bored already because I'm talking about administration. But hear me!  This is a critical component of leadership and required to connect larger churches and more people together to increase the power the Church has to project through prayer to enforce the will of King Jesus. 

We’ve just returned from our missions trip to India. I’ve titled this the supernatural, services, supplies and souls saved trip for that’s what occurred.  There were a number of firsts accomplished on this trip such as:
​

1. It was the first time I gave another minister the opportunity to lead their first international missions trip.  They consider me a spiritual parent, so it was exciting to give them that opportunity. 
2. It was the first time an interpreter was contacted by someone in the police department notifying them they were looking for the Westerners. 
3. It was the first time I'd used the Leadership Dashboard of 1Church1Day to issue an emergency alert mobilizing strategic prayer for protection while we were in another nation.
4. It was the first time I'd experienced such hostility from some people which stood in stark contrast to many more drawn to the light.  We've never had some many strangers wanting pictures with us crying "selfie."  
5. It was the first time a family conference was ever held for Jesus Christ Prayer House wherein men, women, married couples and children were all ministered to at the same time.
6. It was the first Pastors & Evangelists Conference held by the India Prayer League we helped found after I’d commissioned Nani apostolically to oversee the 1Church1Day strategy in India.  110 ministers attended and 10 expressed interest in joining with the 24 churches already apart of the India Prayer League.
7. It was the first time that a woman was bit by a two headed snake while I was ministering during a Festival (outreach).  In spite of that clearly demonic distraction (the women was not poisoned) 600 attended and 50 responded to the altar call for first time decisions to give their hearts to Christ.
