The Lord has really been encoutering the hearts of many of us in the ministry to really press into what He has for us in the city of Buffalo. I’ve seen many of my friends in this ministry come to a new understanding of the love of Christ and their hunger and desire to see Jesus glorified through our prayers and works and love. It’s been stirring my heart up in the place of prayer knowing that there is a movement of God coming to the city of Buffalo and we are going to be a part of it.
We’ve been doing the prayer walks now for about a month and every time the Lord has encountered us, met our needs, and given us opportunities to reach out and love on the people we meet on these prayer walks. Our most recent prayer walk had almost 40 people and we split up into two groups and were able to cover more of the city. I found this to be so stinkin’ exciting because never would I have imagined that happening. I guess I don’t have as much faith as I should.
Two weeks ago we had an amazing opporunity to finally really show off the ministry and the different facets of the ministry. We were able to share our heart for the city of buffalo and really challenge people to step out of the place of complency (which was even challenging my own heart) and begin to live out our faith. The band had an amazing time of worship, probably one of their best sets ever. They all seemed really on key and in tune with the holy spirit, and it was living proof of God working in the midst of our own weakness and brokenness. The guys have been getting many opportunities to step out of their own comfort zones and minister in ways they wouldn’t often do, and it’s really blessed my heart to see them do that.
I’m beginning to see glimpses of things to come in this little ministry and community and in the city of buffalo. It’s awakening my heart to a new desire to be in the Word and to be praying.
May you encounter the love of Christ in a way like never before
May you experience His unending grace and affections over your life
Blessings!
