Partners 315: Call Congo Results, Tidewater Fire, Worship Conference, Tech Tips

The Call Congo Results So Far:

Many people all over the world wrote in to say they would be praying for the Congo on June 19. Here is one report about the impact of that prayer from the large reconciliation conference that was held in Congo (DROC) June 19-21:

"I have just viewed your post and as one of the European delegates involved and having just returned from the Reconciliation conference today, I would like to thank you and all those whose prayers made this such a success.

The sins of Europe, stemming from the Berlin Conference of 1884/85 and leading to the colonisation of Africa with all of the atrocities that Europe perpetrated against Africa in the process and in particular DR Congo has been repented of and forgiveness received.

This completed a nine year journey for the Europe Africa Reconciliation Process and we believe there has been significant breakthrough. It is time to move into transformation.

The State and Church presence at this conference was significant. The President of DR Congo, via his Head of State whom he had sent to represent him, welcomed this reconciliation process and went on to consecrate the country to God, stating it is only through Jesus that the Nation can be healed.

It was indeed an historical time and one which, as the healing of the wounds of the past start to flow, will release blessing between both continents.

Lets give glory and thanks to our God for all He has done, in the name of Jesus.

Dismal Swamp Fire Prayer Call: I woke up again this morning sensing that God wants to glorify Himself by putting out the Dismal Swamp fire that is such a health hazard to our region. God would do this if the churches of Tidewater prayed for this. According to one fire-fighting official, "This fire is a historic fire, so we're kind of in unchartered waters," he said.
Helmerick said that the last time there was a fire of this magnitude was in the 1920s, when a fire in the Dismal Swamp burned for about three years." Others predict it will be August or September before enough rain falls to put it out. To paraphrase Winston Churchhill, this is something up which we should not put! Prayer could put it out sooner.

Worship Conference: September 12-14, 2008: "Steve Swanson carries a powerful anointing and impartation in worship, intercession & prophecy that creates an atmosphere of breakthrough in worship. This conference is for worshipers, instrumentalists, worship leaders and intercessors who are looking to increase the anointing on their leadership." Registration is $30--Hosted by: World Outreach Worship Center & The Dwelling Place,Newport News, VA~www.wowcenter.org · 757-874-1223

BackUp Files to a Website Automatically: Most people should have off-site backups of their files in case a tornado or flood destroys their computer and home. This just happened with friends of ours, John and Beth Catania, in the Suffolk tornado. HP now offers a free service to do this. I just signed up with Mozy: 2 GB free with auto backup.
