prayer

so, if there's one thing i learned in joplin, it's the importance of prayer.  timmy quoted someone (i think randy gariss) as saying, "if ministry is an engine, then prayer is gasoline."

and its true.  so timmy had scheduled a prayer meeting for tonight called, "parent prayer night."  i'd say about 15 (including timmy and me) showed up.  it was pretty powerful.  our first youth meeting is this sunday, so we couldn't have had it at a better time.  it was just a really good time to petition for the youth group together.  

it was really encouraging.  i wouldn't say we've felt alone at all here, but there was something about seeing and hearing all these voices from our new community praying for the same thing together that really emphasized why we're here.  and i heard "revival" come from more than a few mouths, which was really exciting.  

also, if anyone knows where i can get chords and lyrics for "asleep in the light" by keith green, or a keith green song book-- that'd be great.

love, kate
