Cory's Coming Back!

We are excited to announce that one of our Secret Place interns, Cory Lotspeich will be returning to the Boiler Room for an extended 9-month, full-time Leadership Internship. Cory feels that he is called to full-time ministry, rooted in ministry to God through fasting and prayer. This internship will give Cory a chance to experience some of the weightier leadership responsibilities that come with ministry at the Boiler Room. Cory has a growing teaching gift, and he will be helping to teach some of the classes in future Secret Place Internships – taking what he has received and pouring out to others.

What is the Global Bridegroom Fast?
The Global Bridegroom Fast (GBF) is a monthly, three-day "global solemn assembly" of believers unified by the Holy Spirit in worship, prayer, and fasting. Focused on and sustained by experiencing the love of Jesus as the Bridegroom God (Mt. 9:15), this fast is a worldwide concert of prayer when believers unite to seek the Lord’s face—at the same time, with the same burdens, and in the same Spirit. The GBF is held the first Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of every month during the months of January to November, and the first Monday through Sunday of December, making a total of forty days of fasting each year.

Day and Night Worship and Prayer : The Means or the End?

Both.

"Night and day prayer is both part of the means and part of the end of the Kingdom of God coming to the earth. That is - through history, whenever night and day prayer has taken place over a sustained period in a particular location a move of God has not been far behind. And, when God does move in answer to prayer, part of the result is more worship and prayer. Part of our destiny is night and day prayer and worship around the throne of God, and part of how we will get there is the church continually crying out day and night for justice!" (via SHOP)

Or as John Piper says in his book Let The Nations Be Glad:

"Worship, therefore, is the fuel and goal of missions. It’s the goal of missions because in missions we simply aim to bring the nations into the white hot enjoyment of God’s glory."
