Next Strategic Intercessors Mtg

Our next gathering of strategic intercessors will be Saturday, June 18th from 9am - 11am in the Greater Long Beach area at 1965 E. 21st Street, Signal Hill, CA 90755 (the corner of Cherry Ave and 21st Street). We will worship the Lord together, intercede on behalf of the city, and engage in strategic dialogue regarding how we can coordinate our prayers for the city.

There will be a multi-church picnic on Saturday, July 16th at 1:30pm - 4pm for the purpose of bringing life into North Long Beach. There has been a great deal of escalating gang violence in North Long Beach (as well as other parts of LB) and several churches in that area are calling for help. We will be sending out prayer walking teams at noon to specific sections of North Long Beach to worship and pray and also to welcome neighbors to Scherer Park at Del Amo Blvd. and Atlantic Ave. for free food. One of our strategies will be to enlist people who live in North Long Beach and to train them up to prayer walk their own neighborhoods.

We haven't forgotten about the Port of Long Beach! We are still in dialogue with the Longshoremen and we are waiting for an open door and the timing. In the mean time, i have sensed the Lord calling us out of our prayer closets and out to where the King's presence is needed. Wherever we go, the King is there - so let us resolve to welcome His Kingdom to come here in Long Beach. I encourage you - these are the times that we have been praying for for so long. Let's mobilize together so that we can not only witness the Lord's move here but also be a part of it! If you and/or your prayer team will step up and prayer walk with us in North Long Beach in July, please let me know so that we can coordinate.

The city has been vulnerable. The ground has been desolate. It is time to rebuild the spiritual wall of Long Beach (Nehemiah 1-4) and to ask the King to breathe life here (Ezekiel 37)!
