Connected-First Monday-July

Hopefully, summer is going well for everyone. I'm sitting in an airport in ATL on the way to a week-long conference with about 6000 teenagers and can't wait. For June's First Monday we were smack in the middle of Europe and the first leg of the World Tour and we were connected daily as we prayed and watched God do what only He can do. That, too, will be the case in August when First Monday will find us between KL and Jakarta. But for today, we rally here, and join our voices from places all around the globe. Knowing that many of you have planted for the summer in some remote place for the sake of His fame, while others are close to home or on campus packing in some extra hours, it's amazing to know we are all stopping here together, connected by the Spirit that leads us in a story so much bigger than ourselves.

16 (2+6+8) Prayer Points For July

1. Let's just stop and thank God. What was a dream eighteen months ago has become sight and we have six incredible World Tour stops to be thankful for.

2. Think back to Kyiv and pray for the churches, leaders and students of Ukraine (and all the nations that were a part of that night). Pray the seed of hope calling people to lives that are about Jesus will flourish even more.

3. Thank God for the glimmering light that shines in Stockholm, and pray for expanded vision for an emerging generation of Jesus followers.

4. Pray for the students of Sao Paulo, that their zeal will translate into action and their hopes for their nation will be realized.

5. Ask God to continue to stir the hearts of a wave of Ugandan students who have seen a glimpse of the future and been called to a deeper faith.

6. Pray for Paris, that the few will become a movement that cannot be stopped.

7. Continue to remember the students who were with us in London, and ask that their influence will grow and sweep through the UK for His fame. Pray that unity will be fostered and oneness will make their anthem louder.

8. Thank God that what was a $3.5 million need is now down to a $1.8 million need. God is providing. We believe. Wow!

9. We are days away from Manila. Ask God to cause the news to reach the nation and prepare the way for a night that will alter history.

10. We are excited about being in Malaysia a few days after Manila. Pray for the church in Kuala Lumpur and those who are sacrificing to make Jesus known there. Pray all we do will build up His Church and inspire a new generation.

11. Ask God to pave the way by His Spirit as we head to Indonesia, the largest populated nation of Muslims on earth. Pray for a supernatural wave of grace and truth to mark all we do.

12. We are excited to get back to South Africa, after a brief stay in the Johannesburg airport on leg one. Pray for Jo'Burg, for the unity of the Church to be strong and for students to catch a vision for what "can be" as God leads this generation to live for His glory.

13. Cape Town is a gorgeous and challenged city, with stunning beauty and stark poverty. Pray our hearts will be impacted and our time there will unleash something so powerful that the fruit of this night will be evident for decades to come.

14. Pray for our staff team and volunteers that are working hard on the above events and on those to come in October. We are seeing strong response in Sydney and Mexico as people have just been able to reserve their spots for these events.

15. While the World Tour is moving full speed, we have many other projects rolling along at the Passion House. Pray for wisdom and multiplication of effort and impact as we seek to influence this generation.

16. Look around you and pray for ANOTHER ministry, team, band, church, staff than your OWN. You'll find yourself closer to the Kingdom when you pray for someone else and their efforts and rejoice that The Story is going strong all over the world.
