Men of No Greater Love,
I am in the midst of a special 66 hour prayer vigil in Kansas City at the International House of Prayer (IHOP). It is amazing to hear from the 66 ministries joining the prayer house seeking God for a global transformation of hearts, minds and souls for Jesus Christ. One of those hours early this morning was dedicated to the work of Dr. William Bright, Co-founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, the man who developed the model for the NGL Tract we use today.
His elderly wife and surviving Co-founder, Vonette Bright after being helped to the platform, small in stature, began to lead the prayer meeting and you could feel the heavens rended, amazing! She declared, with satellite, transportation, cell and computer technology it is a fact that the Gospel can now go literally everywhere around this planet, the fulfillment of the responsibility of taking the Gospel to the uttermost ends was within reach of this generation. She then prayed for LABORS FOR THE HARVEST.
Men of God it is time to come, bringing our sons, brothers and fathers for a time of preparation. Harvest is coming. The Season is ripe. It is the time for us to go back to training camp and prepare ourselves in those basics that have driven the heart of NGL for years: Prayer, Study, Fellowship & Witness. It is time for us to prepare ourselves to be those LABORS SHE CRIED OUT TO GOD FOR. Why do we need to come together, it was so clear as I was mediating on my Proverb in this time of prayer: “As iron sharpens iron so a friend sharpens a friend.” (Prov 27:17)
Friends we have a duty, a Great Commission, to come together and like mighty warriors of God prepare ourselves for the great work ahead. My brothers, my friends in Christ I can’t wait to see what God is going to do through us in these days ahead. I look forward to welcoming you to Community of Faith Church for the No Greater Love Men’s Retreat, September 24 & 25.
In the grip of the Carpenter,
Troy Benitone
