Fall is in the air, and the Lord has once again blessed us with anointed weekend meetings where His presence was very real and our hearts were encouraged. We are so thankful for the many who came and encountered God in a powerful way during each of these weekends:
- Peter DeArruda – Leader at the New York School of Urban Ministry (NYSUM), challenged a full house of men to check their “Vital Signs” and to sync up with the heartbeat of Heaven! From Mark 10:46–47, Peter shared how Jesus came to heal the broken, perform miracles—feeding 5,000 with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 small fish—and even rose Lazarus from the dead.
- Darla Edlin – Spoke from the life of Joseph in Genesis, reminding us that God’s favor never left Joseph, even while he was in prison. Darla encouraged us that every setback is a setup for what God is preparing to do. When delays and disappointments come, we can declare with confidence that God will answer with fresh vision—and all glory belongs to Him!
- Youth Weekend with Jonny Radcliff – Worship was led by the anointed team from University of Valley Forge’s “Salt Ministry.” Pastor Jonny’s theme, “Networked,” asked the vital question: “Who are your people? Are they leading you to imitate Christ or away from Him?” Drawing from Ephesians 5:1–3, he reminded the students to “be imitators of God.”
Please continue to keep these teens in your prayers as they return to their mission fields. Our house is a house of prayer, and prayer remains a powerful weapon! There are Davids and Esther’s rising up in this generation!
