The Lord is moving in amazing ways. The week of February 1st saw the "Torch" go to Buckeye. There was a great sense of expectancy and urgency for this week. Several words, dreams and warnings had been received for this week, especially concerning the Super Bowl. As part of taking prayer outside the prayer room, Lite the Fire/AZPray and Arizona Call to Prayer partnered to prayer walk the area around University of Phoenix stadium, the host location for this year's Super Bowl. This event had also been the focus of intercession for several weeks. The Lord heard our prayers! Here is an excerpt from an article published in the East Valley Tribune:
Super Bowl Massacre Averted at Last Minute
By GARY GRADO TRIBUNE
East Valley Tribune
A distraught Tempe man was within sight of the Super Bowl on Sunday with an assault rifle, but a change of heart kept him from unloading 200 rounds of ammunition on the crowd, court records show. Kurt William Havelock, 35, turned himself in Sunday to Tempe police and the FBI at the urging of family and confessed his plan, which he hatched in retaliation for the Tempe City Council rejecting a liquor license application for a restaurant and bar he owns. According to court records, Havelock is charged with mailing threatening communications in the mailing of eight copies of a "manifesto" explaining the planned massacre. "I will test the theory that bullets speak louder than words ... I will slay your children. I will shed the blood of the innocent," Havelock wrote.

24-7 Prayer USA writes article on AZPray
In July of 2005, Deb Fritch read Red Moon Rising, and she knew she needed to respond. One way God's led her to do so is through establishing Lite the Fire, and she and Keith Barnes have partnered together for AZ Pray.
There are 52 weeks in a year. The vision of AZ Pray is to organize and equip 52 local prayer teams who will each cover one week of non-stop prayer in 2008.
Similar to the passing of the baton in a relay race, the "prayer torch" will be passed to a new prayer team each week. The group that prayed during the previous week actually travels to the location of those starting to pray for the next week, and they share stories of what God did, pray for and bless the new group, and pass a literal torch (see right). AZ Pray's desire is to see 24-7 prayer happen in churches, hospitals, universities, daycares, airports, businesses, police stations, fire stations...
