11/23/11
John Howland facilitated the sharing of the Vertical Call Prayer Festival and Ministry trip to India. Carter Wood shared briefly and showed a video of the trip. Several shared what they learned and experienced from the trip, then corporately prayed into what was gained and the ramifications for Santa Rosa/Sonoma County.

11/30/11
Ken Smith facilitated a united whole group worship and prayer of rededicating Sonoma County as a sacred space, filling our borders. We prayed in legion into various city gates. We wrote specific individual ministries on notepapers and collected them centrally together as a picture of the work of the Lord in the county, then each individual pulled one of those from the collective and prayed aloud into the circle over that ministry.

12/7/11
Steve Puleo led worship. Then on this the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Lawrence Lehr activated a collective prayer time in which we sought the supreme sovereignty of the Lord for our city. Reflective intercessions declared that since the greatest generation rose up following the Pearl Harbor attack, so may an even greater generation rise up in response to the kinds of attack we experience today. We also prayed into the diminished light of winter, that we may pour kingdom light into our surroundings as fruit-bearers of the Kingdom.

John Howland and Carter Wood led the meeting. We started out praying for each other in small groups. Then Carter shared his call from the Lord to call the whole nation of India to revival starting with united prayer. Over the last several years he has worked to link the prayer networks, missions associations, churches, denominations, ministries and leaders calling the Christians all across the nation of India for a Vertical Call Prayer Festival to seek the face of the Lord in prayer for 50 days from September 23, 2011 until November 11, 2011 for the transformation of the nation.

Carter shared three main declarations to proclaim:
· God is King over all the earth and He reigns over the nations (Psalm 47). All the earth belongs to God (Psalm 24:1).
· All people will know and see the glory of the Lord on the earth (Isaiah 11:9).
· The Kingdoms of this earth will become the Kingdom of our God (Revelation 11:15).
We prayed and declared corporately for the nation Of India.

We prayed over those present who were going with Carter to India for the Prayer Festival.

Steve Marshall led the meeting. We started out praying for each other in small groups. He shared the meaning of reconciliation: to call back into union (2 Corinthians 5: 19-20). WE are to be reconciled with God and one another. We then corporately prayed what this means and to speak it into this city, Santa Rosa.

Lord, You paid the price for us to be reconciled (Isaiah 49: 8-13).

RC & Lauri Carrillo shared their journey of reconciliation over the last year. They thanked the Santa Rosa Body of Christ for walking with them through this season of reconciliation. Another stake was driven in the ground as had been done a year ago.
The group prayed over RC & Lauri.

Barney and Linda Cargile led the meeting celebrating their 20th year at Sonoma Avenue Church of Church in Santa Rosa. We started out praying for each other in small groups. Afterward, Barney shared how his joining Pastor's Prayer and Ministry Alliance (now: Together In Christ) back in 1995 has been life transforming. His church has not been the same since.

He stated each revival is unique, but what would it look like now? Is it happening now? Are you sick of the "Christian Club" attitude? There is unrest in the church; it signals a revival! God is doing amazing things. We are preparing our hearts for what God wants to do next. Lord, how do we make your name famous in this city? "We dare believe you will change this city?" We are colleagues-we are in this Together In Christ. Seek Him with all our heart.

We prayed for Free to Be. Founder Sue Bisbee shared they started almost 20 years ago, were a part of TIC, and have reached over 80,000 young people. She also stated they have received increased resistance from the state over the last few years, thus some public schools are reluctant to have their speakers on their campus. Sue is turning the Executive Directorship over to Christy Wohlert. http://www.free-to-be.net/

Reminders

Next Meeting: Sept. 7- R.C. and Laurie Carrillo will share their testimony of marriage restoration.

1. Parenting Relationship: can lead to a dual life of your child
2. Youth Ministry Culture
3. Lack of Preparation for Life/Parent Fear

Meeting Summary

Harry Skandera led the meeting. He spoke of the importance of our opportunity of coming together to seek God corporately. Harry then read from Rev. 2:18-29. He highlighted the church was growing in love, faith, service and endurance, but was breaking covenant (committing sexual sin). We need to be builders of covenant, that is what we do! TIC is living out a covenant with each other. We sang "Purer in Heart." We then prayed in small groups using the Revelation 2 passage as a focus.

Some highlights:
*Never give up speaking the Truth of the Lord.
*We are people of faith, hope, love, and perseverance.
*If our heart embraces this place, our mouth will be filled to speak out.
*We must fight for our inheritance.
*Speak life over our city.

We broke into small groups to pray for each other’s needs. Then Steve had Harry introduce the Intercessors from Butte and Monterey Counties.
