America for Jesus Informational Meeting

Since 2008, I’ve seen God do something in the fall of each year. The group of leaders who started the New England Alliance felt strongly that we should have a regional Solemn Assembly in 2008. This assembly happened in conjunction with 10 Days of fasting and prayer during the fall Biblical feasts. After the 2008 gathering, many in the leadership were surprised by the way that God “showed up” during that season. This same pattern repeated itself in 2009 and again in 2010, with Joel 2-style solemn assemblies happening alongside this 10 Day period of consecration. Then, last year, believers throughout the greater Boston area participated in the 10 Days Boston leading up to the Boston Night of Worship. The New Hampshire Alliance gathered over 80 participating congregations in the first ever New Hampshire Night of Worship during this same time period.

This year, we as New Englanders have been invited to a national Joel 2-style Solemn Assembly in Philadelphia on September 28-29, 2012. Read more about America for Jesus 2012 here.

We’d love you to join us at an upcoming informational gathering:
What: America for Jesus 2012 Informational Gathering
When: Wednesday, April 4, 9-11am
Where: New Hope Chapel, 89 Court St, Plymouth MA
RSVP: Madeleine Prendergast

We’ll be sharing more about the conjunction of this national gathering and other gatherings for worship, fasting, and prayer in the New England region in the weeks to come!

“Monumental” Movie Release Next Week

On Tuesday, March 27, over 550 movie theaters around the nation will have a one night only theatrical event: Monumental: In Search of a National Treasure. The two-hour live show begins at 7:30 pm. 

Find theater locations here.
Pre-order tickets here.

Many of you will remember the coming together of the 2010 New England Solemn Assembly with the filming of the movie Monumental. Pastor Victor Khokhlan shares his journey with Monumental and the 2010 Solemn Assembly:

"On September 26th, 2009, I attended a powerful prayer meeting, Pennsylvania Awake: A Day of Prayer, Worship and Declaration to Re-discover Pennsylvania’s Purpose in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

"While praying on our knees, the Holy Spirit spoke to me to return to Massachusetts and mobilize believers in Plymouth, MA where Pilgrims first landed, fleeing from religious persecution, finding refuge and freedom.

"My family fled religious persecution from the former Soviet Union, and we emigrated to America 22 years ago. God impressed on my heart we needed to reclaim His dream, His will and His purpose for us as a people, for Massachusetts, New England and for United States.

"I was advised by friends and leaders to include all New England states because the Lord uniquely worked His purpose with all six states as a whole region.  Thus the 2010 New England Solemn Assembly was birthed."

Kirk Cameron learned about our planning meeting

"In order to mobilize people of Massachusetts to gather in Plymouth, I needed $4,000 to produce a video clip for the Solemn Assembly website, but I didn't have the finances.

"In July 2010, during the planning/prayer meeting for the Solemn Assembly in Plymouth, Kirk Cameron visited us with his filming partners.  He requested that the leaders of the 2010 New England Solemn Assembly participate in the production of Monumental. He also requested that his team become a part of the Solemn Assembly in Plymouth. Thus did God open the door for Solemn Assembly to be a part of Monumental: a half a million dollar production to be shown nationally.   

"Now I can testify of the mighty plans which God has for our nation. I can testify how God used 2010 New England Solemn Assembly to reclaim His dream, His will And His purpose for our nation."

For another Great Awakening in America,

Diversity: Overcoming Differences

Are you in a hurry?

Despite our best intentions, we often find ourselves rushing to get everything done that needs to be done.  As we've all experienced, being in a hurry can lead us to overlook things that are important in favor of the urgent requirements of the moment. 

Over the last months, Roberto Miranda has had a series of conversations with Christian leaders around the region.  These conversations are not urgent.  However, if you're interested in seeing God's presence fill the New England region, in seeing greater unity in the Body of Christ, and in understanding what we can do to cooperate with God in these things, I think you'll find these conversations important. 

So, set aside an hour when you can, sit down with a cup of tea, and savor this conversation with John Eckhardt and Kevin Kidd, two Maine pastors with years of experience overcoming differences in the Body of Christ.  I don't think you'll regret it!

Video Episode 2: "Unity"

Have you ever had a good conversation?  

Perhaps you are just making small talk with friends over coffee.  Someone asks a question.   Then, all of a sudden, you find yourself caught up in something profound.  You may leave the table with more questions than answers, but something has happened in the interim.  A good conversation can change your life.

Over the last months, Roberto Miranda has had a series of conversations with Christian leaders around the region.  These interviews are substantive and rich.  These are not made-for-the-nightly-news sound-bites; they’re thoughtful and real, occurring at the speed of authentic human interaction. 

Each episode is an hour in length and filled with experiences, stories, and insights on issues that Christian leaders around New England are grappling with today.  If you want to be encouraged by stories of what God is doing in the region, strengthened with fresh insights, and formed spiritually, I think you’ll find these conversations valuable.

New Video Series on Revival in New England

Brandt Gillespie

For the last year, we’ve shared stories about God’s movement around New England.

From Cape Cod, to New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, Boston, and even Cambridge, God is bringing believers together for prayer and partnership in unique and spiritually dynamic ways. For the next several weeks, we’re going to be sharing conversations with Christian leaders from around the region hosted by Dr. Roberto Miranda.  Producer Brandt Gillespie introduces this new video series.

What is the Spirit of the Lord saying to us?

Many speak of a stirring in their hearts to come along side one another, cooperate effectively, hear and understand what God is doing as clearly as possible. Some believe He is bringing sustained revival to our region and in our time. So in obedience to that still small voice, we take counsel in one another and seek Him in wisdom and truth.

Our prayer is simply: "Lord, let the conversation begin."

Dr. Roberto Miranda has hosted several high value conversations with some of the most thoughtful Christian leaders from the New England area to tackle some of the more difficult challenges standing in the way of forming partnerships to harness our diverse styles and unique personal callings.

By starting the first video, you will begin a significant conversational journey with fellow believers. It leads you to the first conversation entitled “Partnering” with Dr. Miranda, Dick Germaine of Barnabas Ministries, and Dana Baker, Director of Multicultural Ministries at Grace Chapel. However, this is only the gateway to other equally important interactions that we believe you will find valuable.

I am asking for your helpful feedback. There is a place provided for you to write your comments. Our production team will honestly read each one with interest and forward them to Dr. Miranda as well.

Thanks for your interest, comments and suggestions. If you know of other guests who you believe may be able to add something unique to these conversations please let me know.

Blessings,

Brandt Gillespie, President PrayTV
