Celebration for the Nations February 2016 update

Dear worshipper warriors,

Some of us have now been walking together on this journey for more than 10 years. Other precious people have joined us on the way, but we all have one thing in common; the Lord is calling us to worship Him and believe for a mighty outpouring of His Spirit in the nations.

A voice crying in the wilderness
John the Baptist was a 'voice' for the Lord. He prepared the way for Jesus to come as the Son of Man. Jesus will come back, not only as the Son of Man but in all the glory of the Son of God. He is looking for a John the Baptist generation to be a 'voice' for Him, to prepare the way. A voice that will cry out, and even sing in the wilderness! A voice that will lift up the valleys and level the mountains as Isaiah prophesied of John, (Isaiah 40:3-5) so that the glory of the Lord will be revealed.

This is our challenge!

Celebration Israel
July 31st – August 6th we will be gathering at the very highest point on Mount Carmel. The same God who answered Elijah with fire, and with a mighty outpouring of rain on the thirsty land, will answer us! We will worship Him and cry to Him for healing and salvation! Only Jesus holds the answer for broken nations, be they Wales, Korea, Israel or any other.

The Lord is leading us on a journey in the worship intercession that we call Celebration for the Nations. I had thought it would start and end in Wales! However, though we don't yet see the revival we long for in Wales, we know that it is linked with reunification in Korea, North and South coming together under God.

The Lord is enlarging our hearts and showing us that we cannot ignore His people Israel. He has given us a ministry of reconciliation. Jews, Arabs and Gentiles are one in Christ. As we obey the Lord, He will work out His purposes. Our part is simply to worship Him with clean hands and a pure heart. We are not making any political statement, we are not 'for' the Jews or 'for' the Arabs, we are 'for' the Lord!

Preparation
Volunteers
Praise the Lord for Nic and Louise Vanderlinde who are relocating themselves in Wales so that they can co-ordinate the administration that will be happening in at least four locations: Wales, London, Seoul, and Israel!

Accommodation. As you can imagine the mountain top is not such an easy place to find accommodation as the city! The city of Haifa covers the seaward slopes of Mount Carmel. However, the Lord has led us to be at the top of the mountain.

The Carmel Conference Centre is located on the edge of a small Druze town. We are praying for much of the accommodation to be found here.

The Druze are friendly towards Israel though keep their religion and culture very much distinct. They say they are descendants of Jethro (the Midianite who was Moses' father-in-law). They are resistant to Christianity and any other religion.

Praise the Lord for divine appointments and favour which has opened up around 170 places in and around the town! We are still looking for more.

Pray!
Please join us in prayer for the right accommodation. We need to know from the Lord how much to prepare.

Pray for the right people to come, worshippers and worship leaders. We have our small part to play in seeing the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit on all flesh.

Pray for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to fall on the leadership team.

And as we pray, let's do it from our place with Jesus, seated with Him in the heavenly realms! Let's pray from that place of worship and wonder at Who He is!

Korea
18-20 February we will have a Pre-Celebration for the Nations in Seoul, South Korea.
Elim Art Hall in AHyun Evangelical Holiness Church from 15.00-22.00 daily. We will be worshipping together, preparing for the summer and praying for One Korea.

Please do pray for that time, and join us if you can.

With love in Jesus
