1 Capital Region National Day of Prayer Thursday, May 6, 2010 CRNDP Leaders -- NDP 2010 Photo 030 NDP 2010 Photo 148 We are so grateful that so many of you were able to be with us. We felt the prayer unity of others around the nation. Jesus asked the question "When the son of man comes will he find faith in the earth." (Luke 18:18) Page 1 of 33

2 Faith was alive and strong as the assembly proclaimed "Unto you Lord do we lift up our eyes." (Psalm 123:2) Kingdom Alliance Each year the Capital Region National Day of Prayer (CRNDP) is a momentous occasion for an assembly of people to come together under the banner of the Lord Jesus Christ. While all together from many denominations, cultures, ethnic groups and nations we were flowing as one voice to call upon the Lord to send an out pouring of His Holy Spirit for repentance and revival in our families, communities, churches and nation. NDP 2010 Photo 089 NDP 2010 Photo 090 NDP 2010 Photo 092 Prayer for Such a Time as This! Our nation's greatest hope is in churches/believers praying for spiritual awakening revival. We remember God fearing settlers who came to America with heart felt, biblical faith. They laid the foundation which made it possible for us to openly participate in public and private prayer. The founders of America intended it to be a Christian nation. Proclamations issued by government leaders throughout America's history, urging humiliation, repentance, gathering for prayer; no restraints to appealing to God!

Pastors, para-church ministries, business men, professional sports persons, radio and TV personalities, etc. stood for their faith. We have a rich heritage. Page 3 of 33

We entered 2010 CRNDP wholly given to Him in trust. Whenever the Lord finds such a people that are "holding fast to their faith and confidence in Him"-- He always show Himself strong. He is faithful to reveal "His" power. NDP 2010 Photo 088 NDP 2010 Photo 067 NDP 2010 Photo 087 NDP 2010 Photo 119 NDP 2010 Photo 117 NDP 2010 Photo Page 4 of 33

5 NDP 2010 Photo 120 NDP 2010 Photo 130 NDP 2010 Photo 055 Together In Ministry International Let no flesh glory in "His" sight as we lift up Jesus only. The core of the CRNDP is the pastors, ministers and leaders who are relationally connect to Together In Ministry (TIM). They donate their time, resources and gifts to this united effort. No participant at the CRNDP received any remuneration. All of us are giving and sowing freely in the future of our nation, you will also notice no introductions or biographies. This is not in any way a measure of disrespect to anyone, but our unanimous desire to reflect that it is all about "Him" our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We come to "Crown Him" and proclaim Our Lord Reigns! To exalt Him and acknowledge Him as Sovereign God over "all" the nations.

Then Pastor Patrick began by: Thanking God for the presence of the Intercessors to pray for the Now Generation and the youth. The Intercessors prayed for them as a corporate Body. Pastor Patrick asked them what they needed to tell us to pray specifically for them. The youth responded: that they: Would not yield to temptation Page 10 of 33

11 Seek a closer walk with God Follow the Bible as their standard for living Open communication with their parents and elders, that we would not judge them but disciple them. Love the body of Christ and receive their help as needed The Intercessors went into groups praying for them individually until the Spirit was finished. Then the Intercessors sat in the midst of the congregation. They helped to form circles of prayer when instructed. They followed the lead of speakers with prayer focus and connected to what was happening on the platform at all times. Electrifying Worship We felt like we were standing on Holy Ground the presence of God was evident.

32 Prayer Movement Continues Capitol Region National Day of Prayer is not just an event. It is a renewed commitment, a fresh motivation, an incitement toward "On Going Movement of Prayer" Sampling of Testimonies Testimony 1 I attended the prayer service yesterday and it was awesome! I am so thankful that God met us yesterday. Thank you for your leadership in building bridges and unity among believers. I was one of the young people in the range (I am 27 years old) and I am so thankful that you all took time to pray foe and over us. It really stirred something in me. I know that I will never be the same. I am so thankful that God is awakening us and drawing us closer to Him so we can go forth in His power! Testimony 2 After begging one of our female Hispanic students for some time to attend the Capital Region National Day of Prayer, she reluctantly agreed. At one point during the program the youth were asked to gather around the front. As this student approached the front, she was met there by an elderly woman who prayed for her intensely. The Holy Spirit began to fill that student in a supernatural way, and began to weep. This tremendous empowering of the Holy Spirit upon her lasted for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Her life was transformed along with many others. Thank you for your faithfulness in being led by the spirit. Testimony 3 One of our students shared how God blessed him at the Capital Region National Day of Prayer. He mentioned that three pastors prayed for him and told him everything that was going on in his life. Simultaneously, they expressed to him how he needed to change and accept Christ. Praise the Lord! He did! Next Step - Moving Forward Now Generation multicultural conversation began December 2009 and further formulated January It will continue and expand. They desire open, transparent, intergenerational dialogue, connectivity, interacting with other cultures. Now Generation desires the older generation to equip them, release them to be authentic in responding to their encounter with the Holy Spirit. They desire the older generation to be there for them in the process. Generational Transference God's pattern and He has given us an "effectual" door into their hearts. Stand with us in this pursuit. The future of our nation depends on it - we are encouraged! Thank you: You are sowing into good ground. Together we can impact, raise up "Now Generation" to reach their generation. Continue to be faithful in your prayerful support. Page 32 of 33
