More Than A Day...

PrayBC is based on the question of 'what if' and the premise that 'Anything can happen when God is in it'. We began with an idea. I guess it was really more like a question. What would happen if the church all across BC came together to stand in the gap as a people of blessing? That question sparked a series of prayer gatherings across the BC on June 8.

Have you ever noticed how things can morph from one thing into a bigger and more exciting thing when God is in it? That' s what's happening with PrayBC. What began as a vision for a single day is becoming so much more. Here's what I mean...

I received a call a few weeks ago from someone who basically does what I do but in another part of the country. As we were getting to know each other he told me a fascinating story about what is happening in his province. They had a provincial election a while ago. He saw an opportunity for the church to make a difference on it's knees. What they did was begin to pray that God's choice of candidate in each riding would rise to the forefront. Their next prayer was that God would put his favor upon that candidate and would make him/her appealling to the electorate. Then they prayed that the candidate would know God's protection throughout the campaign and would be kept from making costly blunders. Through a series of conference calls, small and large prayer gatherings across the province, God answered their prayers!

The result today is a Christian Premier and Speaker. Many members of the Cabinet and government Caucus are believers as well as some members of the Opposition. There are other things that I can't tell you about in this forum, but I assure you it's amazing.

I confess, I'm jealous. I don't think it's a bad kind of jealousy though. I'm jealous to see God do the same thing in my province, with my government and among our leaders.

So... here's what I'm thinking .... In light of the fact that we have 2 important elections (municipal and provincial) within the next 11 months, do you think that God might be willing to do something in BC as powerful and profound as what He's done in another part of our country?

I think He just might.... How about you??
