TOW Conference Opening Night

Tonight was opening night of TOW conference and it was amazing. How do I communicate this without sounding cliché or just hype? This service was a dream become real. The whole body of Christ, really the whole body, is becoming family and changing the world. Of all the services I have been in all my life this was very close to being the best, but that's the whole point, it wasn't a service, it is reality from this point forward. Watch the live webcast "www.harvestevan.org":http://www.harvestevan.org/ see for yourself it is worth it. God is real, He's shown up on planet earth, the stuff is happening, everything is different, this is our opportunity-—that the truth and isn't hype. h3. Highlights: We heard about a prison in Durham NC where the mayor and local women and men of faith are working together to transform the prison. They now have born again committed Christians in every position in the top 7 layers of leadership of the prison. The violence, which had been driven by gang warfare, is now dramatically dropping in the prison. *Poncho Murguia* told how Cederos prison in Ciudade Juarez which was the most violent and corrupt prison in the nations and the heard quarters of the drug cartels' operations in the city has been taken over by the Spirit of the Lord using the government in partnership with Christian leaders, took over the prison, it is now a 100% clean prison, from drug use and from corruption. It was recognized as the. *Newark, New Jersey*, the murder rate dropped 30% when the church worked together to adopt every street in the city in prayer. In their 2008 report on crime stats to be release next month (May) the FBI shows that Newark was the city with the greatest drop in crime of any city in the US, and they have only adopted 30% of the street so far! *Fr. Dimitri Sala* (a Franciscan priest) how born again Catholics and protestants are working together in covenant to see complete visible unity of the body of Christ, neither Jew or gentile, black or white, red or yellow, Pentecostal nor charismatic, protestant nor catholic, but one new Man in Christ. *From Maui, Hawaii*, one business has given 51% of it profits to the Lord for the last 10 years. God has blessed their efforts to eat the hungry and now hunger is disappearing in Maui and in 2-3 months Maui will be a hunger free zone, because the body of Christ is feeding HIS sheep. *Bishop V McLaughlin*: Preached an anointed message, so powerful like only a black preacher (and a good black preacher) could preach. "The church of Jesus Christ has not yet begun to fight..." He didn't just say it, they weren't just words, it was happening in front of my eyes. The words where reality. *Cal Chinen*: Those who are going to change the world are not those who say like Peter, "Though everyone else leave you I will never leave you," but rather those who say like John, "I am the disciple Jesus Loves." In other words it the ones who know it is not about them and the strengthen of their commitment, but it is about the depth of the love God has more them. This is what the world needs, this is what will transform the world, those who know the love of the father and will show that love as fathers to the world. That pretty much summarizes it.
