Julie Lortz (C Squad) asked me to pass this on to our squad…
I am sure you have heard about The Call – www.thecall.com . Gary Black is speaking at it today and he will talk about the World Race, so pray about it if you get the chance. And you can watch it live.

TheCall is a movement emphasizing prayer, worship and fasting for Spiritual breakthrough. It is a nameless and faceless movement joining the generations.
TheCall Institute exists to equip, disciple and commission an emerging generation of radical Nazirites to prepare the way of the Lord by embracing a lifestyle of prayer and fasting that is energized by intimacy with Jesus.
In this historic hour of human history, God is raising up a new breed of young men and women who refuse the status quo of religion and seek to explore new heights in God. In the days of old, this holy breed was called the Nazirites. With lifestyles based in prayer with fasting, Nazirites frequently surfaced in the darkest hour of Israel’s history. They emerged as voices that challenged the waywardness of Israel and awakened the nation back to the Lord.
The Nazirite lifestyle is not something reserved for the select few or the elite. It is a summons extended to anyone and everyone that will heed its invitation. Indeed, the Nazirite call gives permission to the most “ordinary” among us to enter into the radical devotion of the forerunners (Luke 1:15-17). Today, it serves as a call to be abandoned to the Lord and His purposes.
My real reason for posting though is to place a call on squad D. Just reading about the Call gets me so energized about our generation and what God is doing in us and in the world right now. So, what do ya’ll think about designating this Monday for prayer and fasting. I know Allison’s mom has cancer and I think it is getting worse. Elizabeth Scaife’s friend is struggling with drugs and addiction. And I know others of us have things like that. So let’s do this. Let’s live out this call that we are reaching for. Let’s embrace a life of prayer and fasting. Let’s live this thing that we are challenging the rest of our generation and the American church to become. Let’s let God transform us and rock our world with his power. Think of all of us pressing in – there is power in that. I want to see the ways God will move when we ask Him to.
So let’s get together in our teams. Let’s get on our knees; let’s cry out; let’s create some times of serious intercession for Allison’s mom, Elizabeth’s friend, this country, our friends and family, the future of the world race, whatever.
Let me know what ya’ll think and post if you have any prayer needs. I love ya’ll and miss you!!
