Thank you for praying for us! We believe that prayer is the most important part of starting Revolution Church. Keep the prayers coming!

Below you will find the things we are praying for right now as well as things that we are giving God praise for. As always, if you have a prayer request, please let us know and Pastor Zak will pray for you.

PRAISE GOD FOR…

-LIVES CHANGED. Thanks for praying for life change! Over the last three weeks, we have Baptized two people and seen 11 people accept Christ! That’s what its all about…it never gets old! You are a part of every life changed!

Please also pray that we would be able to help people who are coming to us with lots of hurt, struggles, addictions and family problems.

-MICAH FISHER. We asked you to pray over and over for a worship leader and God answered! Micah Fisher is our new worship leader and he is doing an INCREDIBLE job. He’s been able to put together an amazing band, lead the church in worship and challenge people spiritually.

-Launch Day. Revolution launched large! On January 24th, the church officially launched. In fact, we’ve been so packed out each week since that we are moving to two service times beginning on February 21st. Keep praying for people to come and lives to be changed!

-Provision. So far through our Launch the Revolution startup campaign we have been able to raise 29% of our $45,000 goal (that’s over $13,000). God is GOOD! We are extremely grateful to God for everyone who has given!

PLEASE PRAY FOR…

-Our new service times. Pray that we’d be able to effectively challenge people to step up and serve so that we can pull off two service times in a big way!

-Snaps. One challenge in a new church is helping people make connections and start to build relationships. We think of it kind of like playing with legos. Each person needs a place to “snap” in to other people and start connecting. Pray that we’d be able to create plenty of ways to snap!

-Revolution Kids. Pray that our kids ministry would be effective in getting kiddos pumped up about Jesus. Also, please pray that we’d find the right adult to lead out in this area…we are still on the hunt for a great kids leader!

PRAISE GOD FOR…

-Our First Preview Service! The first service went great even with the flooding in town. We had a total of 70 people in attendance and God did some awesome stuff!

-Decisions. At the service many people made decisions to take a next step in their life.

-LifeHouse Groups. Now that we had our first service we’ll be starting some small groups in homes across our area. We call them LifeHouse Groups. Please pray that we’d be able to start a few groups and that they would be healthy, vibrant, and growing! This is important because these first groups will lay down the DNA of our church in a big way.

PRAISE GOD FOR…

-Our new equipment! A couple of weeks ago, we found an opportunity to get a trailer full of equipment that we needed for super cheap. So we sent out an emergency prayer request asking you to pray your guts out! I guess everyone was praying because we were able to purchase the equipment! GO GOD!

-Connections. We are making some incredible connections around town and planting a lot of seeds in people’s lives.

-New Families. We have gained some new families on the Launch Team, which is huge. Please continue to pray for our Launch Team to grow.

-Website. Our new website is finally up! Praising God for that one! The web is the new front door for church!

PLEASE PRAY FOR…

Hey prayer team! Pastor Zak here. We have an emergency prayer request for you to pray your heart out about…

I found out this week that we have the opportunity to get a bunch of equipment that we need for $7,500. This equipment would normally cost over $20,000. It is coming from a friend’s church in the Atlanta area. They have just moved into their new building and are liquidating their old equipment.

Included in the package is sound equipment, a huge trailer, equipment cases built by portable church industries, and tons of pipe and drape.

The reason it is an emergency prayer request is that we have to tell them whether or not we want it in the next few days. The only problem is we don’t have $7500.

In fact, we don’t currently have any un-budgeted funds that we can use for this special project.

So I am making a BIG ASK today. Can you pray your guts out that we are able to make this deal happen?

It really is too good to pass up. Purchasing this equipment will allow us to run things much smoother on Sundays, therefore, making it easier for us to connect with those far from God.

As you pray with us about this special project, we also ask that you would pray about supporting it financially. Can you take action? Whether you can give $25 or $2,500 every dollar counts!

If you can help let me know. My personal cell phone is 512-262-8054. Or, you can email me at zak@revyourlife.com

Thanks!

-Pastor Zak
