PRAYER 2016: Wow! What a Night!! | from Don Rayno






















The following is from Don Rayno:

PRAYER 2016 at Memorial Auditorium was indeed a remarkable night. All of us who were there can say, "Surely the Lord was in this place!" I have facilitated united prayer gatherings for 32 years, and I have never experienced such a time of prayer that we had Tuesday night, in such a unique setting.

Over 130 churches participated, across the denominational and cultural spectrum in the area Body of Christ. But what made it so special is that as we were seated together cross-culturally with other churches, God inhabited our praise and received our prayers. We all sensed this. We felt great joy that night, and even more importantly, we felt God's pleasure in all that He saw and heard. Pastor Morgan and myself are so grateful for God's wonderful work among us at Memorial Auditorium. As Pastor Morgan said to me during the day on Tuesday: "Yesterday this was an auditorium, and tomorrow it will be an auditorium, but today, and especially tonight, it's a sanctuary."

And so together, we all say "thank you" to God, the one who made all this possible. For only God could have done this!

God began something at PRAYER 2016. I have never experienced a gathering with more unity than I did Tuesday night. And what God has initiated, we want to continue! So stay in contact with those you met and prayed with at PRAYER 2016. Meet together. Invite one another to your houses. Break bread together. Pray together. Love one another with Christ's love. Pastors, bring together your churches that were seated together at PRAYER 2016. We don't want what God has begun to die! The world needs to see what the oneness that we have been given together in the Cross of Christ.

To all who helped in PRAYER 2016: the worship team, sound people, the Network Leaders, the pastors, the wonderful staff and ushers at Memorial Auditorium, Pastor Morgan and myself say thank you. We all will not forget what God did and what He started on this very special night.

Grateful for the Cross,

Don Rayno

Dress Code, Spreading the Gospel to Japan, Skits & Pizza (Pastoral Emphasis from 7/26)

Thanks to all who came out to the Church Family Meeting. Our focus is reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Even though we don't have a formal dress code at church, I think we have an unspoken one. Our guest may perceive a dress code based on what they see on the stage from leadership. So in order to remove any barriers that might prevent some from visiting us or feeling comfortable in our service, the leadership will dress a little more casual. We will try this out until the end of the year and then evaluate. So don't be surprised when you see me not wearing a tie! I shared the following email that we got via our website to show that we are spreading the Gospel worldwide. To God be the glory! Greetings Mt. Zion Church Family...Today is July 27, 2009 and I would like to share the blessing that I have received from your church. I was talking to my very dear sister, soror, friend Sis Brandi Hancock and she and I were having a heart to heart. I told her that I was
