Dear Campus Church leaders and Friends,
We appeal to you who are unsatisfied with the oppression that haunts the students of our universities. For to long, humanism has worn down our spiritual senses, reducing us to a numb all-American life. We pass each day believing that we are powerless, perplexed with our inability to create effective change in the deadened world around us.
Yet there is a breath of hope gushing forth from the voice of the prophet. They say we are standing at the threshold of another Great Awakening. In 2003, Kenneth Hagin, a father of the Charismatic movement, declared that 2006 would be a glorious year of “heaven on earth.” Earlier this year, Dutch Sheets had a profound encounter with the Living God where the Lord proclaimed that 2006 would be “the year that the lid comes off of the youth movement.” But perhaps the most crucial utterance for Boston in this hour is Derek Prince’s prophetic word in 1972: “Boston is the Jericho of America and when the walls of intellectualism come tumbling down, the Lord will pour out His Spirit upon the whole land.”

The Uprising has begun. From March 1 to April 9, we are calling all students and young adults to scrap their Spring Break plans and come to Boston and make Harvard a flashpoint to contend for the universities of this nation. For too long, students have cowered under the shadows of the giants of secularism, humanism and pluralism, but that time is now up. A generation is rising that refuses to live in the shadows of these giants, but believes for an alternative future of campus awakening and reform.
For these 40 days, we will be praying and worshiping day and night around the clock. We believe that now is the hour for massive fasting and prayer to be directed toward the universities for the in-break of the Kingdom, to resist the agenda of secularism and humanism, and for the release of a new Student Volunteer Movement of missionaries from universities.
This season will be intense both in fasting and prayer, but it will be of eternal significance. So whether you come for one week during your spring break or come for the entire 40 days, make plans now to join Lou Engle and other national leaders for the Uprising!

Recently I’ve been thinking alot about “faithfulness” and the responsibility that comes with it. God has simply been reminding me to be faithful in my love for Him and others. Much has been happening lately and at times it is easy to get lost in all the activity that is going on. Yet, I have to keep reminding myself to stay focused on Him and simply stay focused on those He entrusts to me. I read 1 Kings 18-19 last night. Elijah was a man of faithfulness. He prayed, fasted, fought like a hero and also was real with God about his frustrations. One moment he is up, the next moment he is down. I feel that way at times. My passion and zeal ride high at one moment, the next moment I can be easily discouraged. I guess its the personality of a prophet. It seems Jeremiah was much the same way. God’s grace is there though. And through it all, somehow if our hearts are right, we make it to the finish line. I don’t want to just make it though, I want to cross the line with strength. When I die I want to be known as one who was faithful and at the same time “honest”. Elijah was “faithful” and Elijah was also “honest”. He didn’t have it all together, he felt like giving up and dying at times, yet because his heart was loyal to God, God saw him through. In 1 Kings 19 Elijah goes from seeing God speak and show up in fire at Mt. Carmel to all of a sudden wanting to die & give up. It was in this state he eneded up finding God in sleep, rest and 40 days of prayer and fasting until he heard God’s voice in the gentle whisper of silence. It is here on Mt. Horeb that he receives his final instructions, his life message and most powerful assignment. He anoints the next generations (Jehu, Elisha, etc) and through spiritual reproduction all of his enemies are destroyed (Ahab, Jezebel). He learned and began to walk in a wisdom and maturity that only God could have taught. I want that wisdom, I want that maturity, I desire to experience that grace. Father let me hear Your gentle whisper, keep my eyes on You, meet me on the mountain and do not let me get so caught up in the battle that I forget to hear Your instructions. I desire to be faithful, to be honest in all my dealings and to finish the work You have assigned for me to do.
