​​Dear Ignite Prayer and Fasting Partners,

               I recently re-read a book entitled America’s Great Revivals. It detailed different waves of revival that took place throughout our country’s history, from the 1700’s through 2000. The stories were inspiring as they told how people (both individual and in groups) brought spiritual awakening to our nation. As I read, I noticed a consistent element that started every period of revival: Prayer! It might be one person with a burden to reach the lost in a community or someone who simply invited others to meet together, prayer sparked the movement of the Spirit. I am so grateful for your partnership in our prayer effort each month. Bob Sloniger used to tell me,  “Prayer is the battle!” Thank you for joining the fight.

As we wrap up the year, here are some important things I’d like you to pray for:

1.  Speaking at Mid-South Christian College, Dec 2-3: Darla and I will be traveling to Memphis, TN for several things. I will be meeting and interviewing a prospective Latino church planting couple for Ignite and I will be speaking at the chapel service. There may be other potential planters in the audience, so I would appreciate your prayers for the interview and for those attending the service. (This initial opportunity may provide a pipeline for future ethnic planters for Ignite.)

2.  Third session of training for Multipliers Pathway: On Dec. 9, the 8 participating churches will have the next installment of the multiplication training via Zoom. This will mark the halfway point of the 6-month process, so please be praying for the churches involved as they are developing their disciple making pathway. They are also determining how they will mobilize everyday missionaries from their churches into their local harvest fields. (Thinking ahead, please be praying for good weather for our January in-person gathering, Jan. 13-14.)

3.  2026 Prayer Mountains: I take time during December to listen to the Spirit for the mountains coming ahead that we need to ask the Father to move for us. I ask you to pray that I listen well and that I get clarity for the year ahead.

4.  The Open Door, 2026 30 Days of Prayer: We believe that God has placed open doors ahead of Ignite in 2026. Our annual prayer campaign begins January 2 – 31 and we want to invite you to join the effort. We will be praying for a variety of things at 8 am each morning. Please pray for this event that lays the foundation for the year ahead. Dial-in number: (518) 992-1040 / Meeting ID: 612594*.

I treasure your partnership in prayer, my friends. Thanks for all you do for Ignite. I hope you have a great Christmas season as we celebrate the Greatest Gift!               

 

Love in Christ, Lance
