18 August 2007 Chautauqua County Transformation Event

This Event was attended by 40 people and the Holy Spirit. Most participants came from the south part of the county but there were also some from the central county, one from the north county and four persons came from Erie County, NY. - God make His presence, His love and his pleasure felt quickly and wonderfully right from the start as members of the First Covenant Church (Jamestown) led in worship with music and song. - The day was a tapestry of worship, prayer, teaching, and fellowship all woven together by the Spirit of God. Ministry displays by the Healing Rooms, The Better Place, Chautauqua Lake Men of Integrity, Helping Hands/the Gateway Center and Samaritan House were set up so participants could learn more about these vital ministries in Chautauqua County. - After viewing the Sentinel Group video The Destiny of Nations, featuring John N. Mulinde, near the conclusion of the day, the Spirit fell on some of the participants with travailing prayer. God wants His Kingdom to come and His will to be done in Chautauqua County; God wants to see His Church revived the people of the county awakened and the entire county transformed. God's people just need to make God's desire and priority their own desire and priority.  To this end, the participants of the Event will be constant in prayer. Because prayer is the key, The Better Place will be following up by taking the initiative to "fed" intercessors with prayer need from pastors prayer groups and also by giving leadership to prayer initiatives such as region-wide prayer and worship gatherings and coordinating a non-stop 24/7 prayer stream among the congregations of the Church in the county.
