Well,
this time has been good. It has been a piece of
the puzzle of what God has been doing in my life the last six
months. I have been on a recovery with the Lord. We are
like a married couple who experienced some turmoil and though we still
loved each other and were committed to each we still needed
healing. That healing started a few months back but has
been finalized at the Summit. The extended times of prayer
made it so I had to deal with issues I preferred not to. My hope
has been renewed and my walk with God has been refreshed. Thanks
for serving!"
"I have a love-hate relationship with the Prayer Summit
experience. I love the worship, fellowship and dynamics of being
in God's presence. However, being in God's presence also means I
have to be gut-honest before God. I hate the sin and hypocrisy
that God exposes in me. This year after 19 years of marriage the
Holy Spirit finally got me to wake-up and understand that I am
not the Holy Spirit when it comes to my wife. I have released
some of my hang-ups and determined to allow God to be God and am
conceding my role as the convicter to the servant. My marriage
has been good mostly, but I want it to be more than just OK, but
excellent. I leave with hope for my healing of resentment,
control, and pride! I am going home changed!" P.T.L.
"Wednesday morning, afternoon, and evening was one of the greatest days
of prayer I have ever experienced in my life. I feel that we were
in the throne room of the King all day.
"Last year's summit was the most powerful event I had ever
attended. The unity and relationships that began have continued
throughout the year. This year's Summit was both a culmination
and celebration of those relationships as well as a new launching point
for the future unity. I am grateful to God for the way in which
He has used both events to draw me close to my brothers and sisters and
most of all to Himself. Thanks for facilitating this powerful
encounter into God's presence!"
"I received prayer with the other women for an area of woundedness that
was blocking my relationship with the Father and was prohibiting
growth. I so appreciated that small group time and the
opportunity to open myself up in that place-feeling so safe and OK and
affirmed. The prayers for release of a marred father image, for
cleansing, for the barrenness of my heart to be replaced with life,
etc. encouraged me and helped to restore hope to my heart for change
and what a blessing to get to know the hearts and hurts of
other pastors in Washtenaw County."
"I was only able to attend Wednesday and Thursday! Really
appreciated the prayer fellowship, networking. I received some
much needed spiritual refreshment and encouragement."
"The summit is wonderful evidence of Jesus desire for Christian unity
in an atmosphere of ecumenical courtesy. I pray that our annual
summit will become a permanent piece of God's plan for our county
"The "summit" has more than met expectations-it refreshed both
personally and corporately. We will all be more deeply rooted in
Christ and significantly connected with one another for having been
here. Thanks! Thank you God-Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit-and come back to be with us again! "
"Since attending last year God has shifted gears in my spiritual life
and put me on fast track to grow into the things of Him. He has
systematically kicked the (earthly) crutches out from underneath me and
is giving me strong dislike of my fleshly habits and desires. He
has given me an almost insatiable hunger for his righteousness and his
presence. Most noticeable is a significant deflation of a most
insidious and subtle pride and a desire
to be the center of attention. Seeing so many holy and humble men
of God in one place seeking him made my own pride obnoxious in my own
eyes as it is in his. Yet through it all I have felt his tender
and compassionate love and encouragement. Thank you for the
privilege.
