It has been three months since the Prayer Summit in Astoria led us to the May Day prayer effort along the western coast of the United States. The response to the call to prayer was overwhelming and the outcome even more so.
When the quake hit off the coast of northern California, evacuation alerts were issued along the coastline in several locations. I first received the call from an intercessor in Willapa Harbor whose husband was given instructions to begin evacuation of the mill he works at. We went immediately to prayer. Very shortly after that, she called back to inform us they stood down the alert to a bulletin. From what I could gather, and I am no expert on this, the quake moved in a horizontal vs. vertical pattern, nullifying the threat of a wave.
What can we say at this point? .... except thank you Father!!! I am thankful for the amazing prayer army You have stationed all over the world. I am thankful You sent the whales on May 1st as a sign to us. I am thankful that a tsunami did NOT hit the coast after the earthquake. I am thankful all of the warning systems had an opportunity to be tested, whether they worked or didn't work. I am thankful they now have an opportunity to fix any flaws in their systems. But MOST of all........ I am thankful for YOU and how You love us and keep us in disaster or in peace....You are the Lord of the Universe and we are in Your hands. THANKS.
Also;
I recently received emails of intercessors who arrived in London at the time of the bombs. They were able to pray for many..... and we stand with them as they minister to England at this time. Pray the Lord will send a wave through this nation of His mercy and truth. A small team from the Northwest, Belgium and the UK will be traveling to London and Rome to pray with other believers gathering from different parts of the world in early September. Please remember us as we travel and pray wit us for God's hand to be over all that happens during this prayer event.
Much love in Him,
