Week 6 - SEAM International - Buckeye

Buckeye was an interesting week with the Phoenix Open, Super Bowl and Super Tuesday. Linda Gross with SEAM International hosted the week in her home/office. The "torch" was transfered (via cell phone) from Pastor Doug Ball in St. Johns.

Great answers to prayer were seen during this week as a massacre was diverted at the Super Bowl because the man had a "change of heart". We believe it was a direct answer to prayer!

In additionm here is Linda's testimony of the week of prayer in Buckeye:

Psalm 24 ...

Lift up your heads, O you gates of Buckeye .. the Lord is wanting to enter in. Open your doors Buckeye, the Lord is glory is coming in .. Lift up your heads O you gates of Buckeye, the Lord is knocking at your door.

In addition He reminded us of the good seeds planted in Buckeye by believing farmers who first came and settled here. And, there are deep waters running under the ground here that will be plentiful supply for all who come to live here (from the Hasasyampa Water Table/Aquifer) that is the largest of its kind in the USA. This is a physical demonstration of what is in the spiritual realm. More intercessors are wanting to do more praying and joining of hands here.

Week 7 - Family Life Radio and SW Bible College
A dozen of us jammed in the tiny campus chapel at SW Bible College to pass the torch from Buckeye to Family Life Radio and SW College. The presence of the Lord was very sweet and we spent time interceeding for both education and media.

Week 8 - First Christian Church - Phoenix
After a wonderful week of 24/7 Prayer in February, we are praying for God's guidance on when we should do it again! Pastor Scott Pixler

Week 9 - Calvary Temple of Christ - Yuma
the "Torch Passings" are becoming increasingly special as members of ministries and congregations criss-cross the state blessing and praying for one another and passing the torch and journal. Here is a testimony from the First Christian Church and the last torch passing: "Friday evening, several of us from First Christian Church had the opportunity to go to Yuma with some of the members of Lite the Fire Ministry to pass the 24/7 torch to Calvary Temple of Christ. In spite of a lot of driving it was a wonderful evening. God has started a great work at FCC thru 24/7and the fire must not go out. In addition, FCC now carries a responsibility to pray for Calvary Temple of Christ. Yuma is in a unique place, truly being a "gateway" to the state of Arizona. Although believers there are in a spiritual battle, the sense on Friday was that of great excitement and expectancy. It was truly a blessing to be a part of prayer at CTC."
