Nick Savoca and I headed up to Virginia and Pennsylvania for a two week ministry trip. It has only been a few days and we have already had an amazing time. It actually started on the plane, when someone ended up in the seat between Nick and I. His name is Ray and we had an amazing conversation. He shared with me about his having a heart attack and how that has affected his life. He currently goes to church and I was able to share with him the calling God has on his life to be a light to his family and those around him. Please keep Ray in prayer.
Our first stop was Harrisburg Virginia, where we met up with Pastor Holder from St. John Memorial Baptist Church. He is one of the main players for the Southern Baptist Convention, and they were having a large event with over 300 pastors in attendance. As you can see by the images, they had setup a very effective Prayer Station area where the pastors came in and out of the main sessions. We were able to connect with many of the pastors, and some of them actually came to the Prayer Station for prayer as well. Prayer Changes Things. Nick was actually asked to close out the event in prayer. What a privilege and opportunity.
We then met drove to Winchester VA to meet with one of our board members, Bill Blatz. It was great to connect with him again, as well as his family.
From there we drove to YWAM Philadelphia, where we are to spend most of our time. We did Prayer Station ministry right in front of City Hall in downtown Philadelphia. Both Nick and I prayed for quite a few people, some of whom need physical healing, and some that needed a real answer from God.
I will continue to post updates as they happen. Tomorrow I am going to be preaching at St. John Memorial Baptist Church, and hopefully in the next couple of days we will be meeting up with Alex Miller, one of the longtime YWAM Staff we had up in New York.
This past Sunday I was honored to speak at Pastor Nathaniel Holder's church, St. John Memorial Baptist Church in Philadelphia, PA. Pastor Holder has become a dear friend and a strong evangelist for the Prayer Station ministry. Pastor Holder and his church are actively reaching people for Jesus throughout Philadelphia using their Prayer Stations and the five little words that have a dynamic impact on lives... May I Pray For You?

We just received a quick update from the Prayer Station Ministry in Guatemala...
"Today we had the privilege to lead someone to Christ, while also praying for cancer, for sickness and for jobs. One girl came back from a previous time to get more prayer."

We just received a testimony from someone that visited a Prayer Station in Fort Pierce, Florida.
Joe S writes us...
"I went to the Farmers Market in Ft. Pierce, Florida. The first thing I saw was a Prayer Station.
What a gift. A couple offered me their prayers. Job well done. Godspeed your mission."

We just received a call today from a team running a Prayer Station (location undisclosed) that had a miracle testimony to tell us. Their Prayer Station was setup this morning and almost immediately they noticed a man that had come and stood near the Prayer Station but did not engage with anyone. One of the Prayer Station volunteers walked up to the gentleman and asked if he would like some prayer, and he responded with a resounding NO, making it clear to leave him alone. But the man didn't leave.
The volunteer waited a while and came back to ask again if he would like some prayer, and the answer came back again... NO. After several attempts throughout the morning, the man finally started to open up to the volunteer asking what the point of prayer was. The volunteer explained the importance of prayer and mentioned that it seemed the man was very angry. The man agreed and finally was open to have the volunteer pray for him, but would not disclose any prayer requests.
The volunteer prayed for the man, and as he finished, the man said that he had a secret that he wanted to tell him. He said that no one else knew about this secret. The man proceeded to tell the volunteer that he was on his way to kill a man. He realized that he didn't want to do this any longer and suddenly took out a knife and put the knife in the garbage. The volunteer then proceeded to watch a smile open up on the man's face, realizing the decision he had made. He then made the decision to give his life to Christ.
Only God has the power to reach someone's soul and bring real hope. We know that Prayer Changes Things and that we simply need to be willing to hear the Holy Spirit, who can give insight and direction as we pray. This is just one example of how God is changing lives as we make ourselves available to serve Him.

YWAM Philadelphia are taking Prayer Stations to the streets of New York City!
Nick & Ron traveled together to three different locations in Pennsylvania between October 5th and 15th.
PHILADELPHIA, PA: October 6th – 10th
On Saturday, October 6th Nick spoke to approximately 65 participants in a Prayer Station Training Day. The vision of Prayer Stations was shared followed by going out to the streets of Philadelphia for application. One Indian church brought their youth group and became so excited about Prayer Stations they ordered a Prayer Station for their church in Philadelphia and a Flag Prayer Station to be shipped to India!
On Sunday, October 7th, Nick spoke to a church in Philadelphia that was already taking a Prayer Station out each Tuesday and having powerful results.
On Monday, October 8th & Tuesday, October 9th, Nick & Ron had meetings with Key pastors in Philadelphia who were influential among many churches. Each pastor was excited to promote the Prayer Station ministry among their fellowships and are opening exciting new doors of opportunity.
ELIZABETHTOWN, PA: October 11th & 12th
Nick & Ron met with dear friends and partners of our ministry, David & Tierney Able, in Elizabethtown, PA. They were a great encouragement to us both and our ministry!
DUBOIS, PA: October 13th 15th
Nick & Ron spoke at the Mission’s Conference at the Smithtown Community Church in Falls Creek, Pa. This church has been a partner in our ministry since the early 90’s. One fellow missionary at the conference is using Prayer Stations to minister to very poor communities in western Pennsylvania as well as in Nepal. We will be sending a Nepalese Prayer Station flag to assist with his Nepal ministry this coming month.
This trip was filled with divine appointments and great encouragement for our ministry. Thank you, Jesus, for all you are doing to help your Body reach out to the marketplace with the good news of the gospel!
