End of Year Giving

Thinking back to the beginning of 2009, I would have never guessed I would be where I am now. When we started the year, we were uniting youth groups for monthly Dwell meetings and occasionally Burns. Now we have the growing Boiler Room community moving towards day and night worship and prayer. I get the sense that 2010 will contain the same kind of discoveries and new beginnings from the God who does “exceedingly abundantly more than we could ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).

I will say this: I have a deeper resolve in my spirit than ever that God has called us to unite students towards day and night prayer for revival. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is going forth across the world, and 6:22’s primary role is to fuel Jesus’ missional church with “undignified” worship and radical prayer/fasting for the glory of God in our city and the earth.

Lives are being changed. We have seen clearly some of that fruit. In the Boiler Room students are being set free from fear, and accepting God’s calling for their life—some to foreign nations, others to reach out on their campuses. Some tell stories of how their youth groups or churches are being stirred in deeper worship by our songs or by those who have “caught” the fire of worshiping Jesus freely at 6:22 and returned to their church/campus to influence their friends. If you have yet to visit the Boiler Room on a Friday night to experience this, please try to come out and see for yourself!

I also have faith that there is much fruit that is not seen until after the seeds are given time. Some of the impact of our prayers will probably never be known. Yet we know that when we humble ourselves to pray, God hears and heals our land (2 Chronicles 7:14).

I will be honest: we need your help. We need your prayers. We need more manpower. And we need money. Please sow a seed into what God is doing here. I have good reason to believe that 6:22 is fertile spiritual ground to sow into.

If you remember, the reason we have the Boiler Room is because God spoke to a willing servant who was obedient to give extravagantly in faith to cover the rent. I want you to know that the man who is giving us $1000 a month to cover our rent has a business that, in the midst of an economic recession, has been consistently growing in profits each quarter since he started giving to the Boiler Room. God loves to give to those who He can trust to be obedient with what He gives them. This man is also being encountered by God in an increasingly supernatural way with receiving dreams at night, visions and prophetic words from the Lord. This is a man who has a church background in a “traditional” denomination where these things are very uncommon.

Will you please consider making an end of the year gift? Please seek the Lord and give as He leads. Send checks to 6:22 Ministries, PO Box 1786, Greenville, NC 27835 or give online (credit card or checking account) here on our donate page.

Specific Boiler Room Needs
  • More monthly partners to cover the recurring costs and ongoing ministry events
  • A vacuum cleaner
  • $500-600 for outside signs
  • Worship leaders, intercessors, musicians and singers to help with the morning prayer times.

Thank you!
