The above photo tells the story well. Twenty two smiles from twenty two amazing leaders. You can see the joy and the passion in their smiles.
The region’s very first Prayer Pop-Up – ‘Together for the Illawarra’ Combined Church Prayer Meeting was history in the making. The first combined church prayer night for 14 years.
Praying for the Illawarra, the Church and Nation: focusing on Mental Health, Evangelism Explosion and the Youth of the Illawarra. It was a glorious night of prayer in every respect.
A gathering, not a scattering.
Diversity in unity.
The stayers, the prayers, the unremarkable persevering for God,
their faces turned towards the light.
His face shining on them.
The heart cry of the body of the Lord in this place.
Light, growing brighter.
“By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
We want to go on the public record to thank Ps Scott Hanzy from Awaken Church for his sacrificial service for unity and prayer in the Illawarra!
Who knows what God will do because of all the prayers uttered by all those present at this historic Combined Church Prayer Meeting? Alfred Lord Tennyson said, “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.”
