prayer for the persecuted church

last night I went to the Open Doors headquarters for a prayer meeting for the persecuted church; their offices are in Santa Ana, very close to where I live/work. I went because Patricia, woman who owns the house where I am renting, coordinates for her church awareness of the persecuted church, and the director of Open Doors asked her to lead worship last night for the prayer meeting, she plays the autoharp and sings.

the meeting was super educational. I had no idea such things were occuring in the church today. I would like to write more about this later.

The website for Open Doors USA is http://opendoorsusa.com for more info.

also, in January they may have Brother Andrew at the prayer meeting, as he will be in SoCal the last week on Jan 2006. He's a 77-year-old Dutchman now, and still going strong! I wasn't even sure if he was still alive. I actually have two of his books (not here with me in CA, but stored at parents in Chicago), one is called "God Smuggler" about how he took Bibles to communist countries. The second book, "And God changed his mind" about prayer.

Not that Brother Andrew is God, but I do sort of want to meet him or hear him talk because I read his books and all.

I think I do have intercession gift, but sometimes it has not been a priority of mine to sit and spend time praying.
