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.
