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!

-Office. Its a LONG story, but God provided some awesome office space for us. It was a true miracle of God…ask me about it sometime and I’ll share the story!

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!

-Stature and Wisdom. Pray that I (pastor Zak) would have stature and wisdom among God and the people in our community (Luke 2:52).

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.

-New Families. We had lots of new people at the service that stuck around for the Tail Gate Party. We were able to connect with them in a big way!

-Super Baby Faith. On October 2nd we sent out a special prayer request for a sweet little girl that we love and believe in who has been fighting to get out of the hospital. You prayed for her and she’s making progress! Check in on her here.

PLEASE PRAY FOR…

-Followup. This is a big week as we followup with each person that made a decision. Pray that people would be responsive as we continue to plug away and share the Gospel!

-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.

-Strategy. Our area is responding well to our strategy but we are praying for even greater things! Please pray for us as we continue to crack the cultural code of the people we are serving.

-Recovery. The flood in our area caused a lot of damage. In particular, our partner church, Everyday Christian Fellowship right here in town experienced bad flooding in their building. Please pray for the businesses, families, and churches hurting in our area because of the flood.

-Ripe Fields. Please pray that the fields would be ripe and ready for harvesting and that we’d see tons of lives changed as we serve our city!
