Pittsburgh on Deck – September 12-13

Pittsburgh made an impressive showing here in Philly 3 weeks ago. There were two groups easily totalling 30 people who drove across the state to pray with us. Now they’re hosting this weekend - they will be “Releasing the Keys of Change.”

If you need to carpool for this event just leave a comment or contact us. The location is Shepherd’s Heart Fellowship,

13 Pride Street
Pittsburgh, PA 

This will be a powerful event.

40 Days for Life – PHILLY

Went to a breakfast meeting for a 40 day prayer/fast for Life and wanted to let the 24Philly readers know about it.

There will be a peaceful 40 day onsite prayer chain at a local suburban clinic, September 25 until November 3, rain or shine. The appropriate zoning and permits have been secured with the local officials. This is a non-political stand for the future of unborn children. If you are under the age of 35, like me, your life could have been terminated legally in this country – we are the lucky ones, the survivors. I don’t appreciate that my life was in potential jeopardy while in the womb in 1974, but am grateful for my mother’s love and care in bringing me to term. Millions of our would-be friends, classmates, and others were not as fortunate.

Abortion is the last in a long line of sad situations, in which men are always involved. If you are a man you may (indeed should) also stand for life by treating women with respect, to be intolerant of pornography and immoral relationships in your life, to be celibate if single or faithful to your spouse if married, to be open to considering adoption, and to have compassion and care for single moms and their children.

We also can express God’s love and compassion to post-abortive women, as well as those who are on the other side of this issue. Many of us are doing these things, and making a public stand for life is simply another way of expressing one’s beliefs.

On a personal level I am interested in petitioning God for the breakthrough. No political party can change people’s hearts. The hearts of many people must change or else any legal victory will only harden people and anger them. That is why I am also praying for God to break into the hearts of people, and into the church, so that we can meet the needs of people in more relevant ways.

If you are a pastor or leader and read this in the next couple days, there is another breakfast in Abington on September 11. The contact is the Urban Family Council 215-885-4237. I’ve left many specifics out of this blog post, but if you are interested just use the contact information.

April 7-8th Event in Kensington

The next prayer & worship event will be held Saturday April 7 to Sunday April 8. This is a real 24 hour event from 6pm to 6pm. Note that it is Saturday to Sunday. Please click the link below for a map.

Location:

Faith Love Outreach
1630 Germantown Ave.
Philadelphia PA

At the corner of Cecil B. Moore

There is a rumor of a field trip a few blocks to Penn Treaty Park, where William Penn founded the “holy experiment” over 3 centuries ago, for more focused location-based prayer. The picture below depicts the significance of this park as a place of peace. Because Penn’s sons broke covenant with the native tribes by exploiting them and driving them off their land, we feel  the burden to make reconciliation for this  great tragedy, as the “descendants” of William Penn.
