Letter from Matthew Lilley

6:22 Friends and Partners,

What a wild time to be alive! In these desperate times we rejoice when students accept Jesus or pray for their lost friends at Dwell gatherings. We are amazed that young adults will spent 10 straight hours worshiping and praying at our Burn gatherings. We are thrilled at every opportunity to travel to a church or venue and share music and the Gospel. We get excited when a shy, passive Christian student becomes bold and expressive in their praise and worship. That is the mission of 6:22, and by His grace people’s lives are being changed!

The need for what God has called us to do is growing more and more apparent. I recently was driving behind a car with a Jesus fish on the back that had the word “pagan” in place of Jesus! I believe we need to support as many churches, ministries and ministers as possible in these times. It is too late to worry about competition and man-made divisions. Let us unite as the body of Christ and worship Jesus boldly so that the lost may know His love.

In Joel 2 we see a God-given biblical response to desperate times:

Blow the trumpet in Zion,
Consecrate a fast,
Call a sacred assembly;
Gather the people,
Sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders...

Our annual Day Seven event is this kind of sacred assembly. Aside from Worshipfest, this is our largest gathering each year. We will be back at the Greenville Town Common on Friday, May 1 from 7-9pm hosting a city-wide night of worship and prayer. 6:22’s worship leaders will be providing music. Clark Stallings of Hope of Glory Ministries will be preaching the Gospel, and local pastors will be leading prayers for our city. Those involved will be fasting for one week leading up to the event. I believe Day Seven could have a HUGE impact on our region. Please plan on attending and help us spread the word.

The budget for Day Seven is approximately $3400 which covers renting the amphitheater, renting a sound system, tent rental, honorariums, promotions and even the porta-potties!
We have a few hundred dollars in our bank account and are asking you to prayerfully consider making a donation to help us cover the costs for Day Seven. Thank you!
