God of this City

Desolate Detroit - This city has probably been hit the hardest economically over recent years. What used to be bustling Motown is now abandoned, run-down buildings. Yet despite this desolate situation a hope and revival is being stirred within the people. Many believe that God wants to use Detroit as an example for his glory. He wants to show how he can bring his people out of the rubble when they turn back to him (like in Isaiah). Pray that the anticipation for revival grows in the hearts of the people and that we do not loose hope in the process.

South Korea Independence Day!

South Korea just celebrated their independence day on August 15th. It is truly amazing to see the ways God has worked in their country over the years. They are hoping now that they can live in peace with their neighbor North Korea. Praise God for what he has already done and pray that South Korea can inspire other Asian countries.
