All night prayer

It was very exciting to see year after year around 1000 disciples gather together zealously for all night prayer to mark the New Year. Even this year spirit was very high. Everyone enjoyed praying with other disciples also it was very exciting to see Christians gathering together as families and having the first Bible study and prayer time.

The Church is going to celebrate this year as the year of Families. This is to help all disciples to build Godly families. All are encouraged to have spiritual time with families like having Bible studies together, family prayer times, have fun together etc.

It was so inspiring to see that there were 131 souls were saved in Bangalore city alone. During the all night prayer all those young Christians were called to the stage to be introduced and to pray for them. It was so wonderful to see so many young Christians together. It really inspired all of us to see the power of God who drew them out of darkness and sin. It also gave a lot of faith for all of us to dream of becoming fruitful next year.

Another inspiring part of the all night prayer was the time when people were called to share about the miracles God had done in the year 2009. So many of them came forward to share and every story was so inspiring and faith building.

Here are few of them:
Murugan prayed during the last New Year all night prayer that his sisters should become disciples. God answered his prayer and two of her sisters Geetha and Chitra became disciples.

Mohan was inspired by the leadership setting a goal of 1000 souls to be saved in 2009 during the last year's all night prayer. He wanted to contribute to this by praying for 8 men to be baptized in the zone he leads. God did a miracle of giving exactly 8 men baptizms in his zone in 2009 including a personal fruit.

Catherine was feeling sad while attending the all night prayer last new year as she watched many others praying with their family members. That very night she prayed to God to miraculously save her mother. Though her mother was not at all interested, God did a miracle and few months back she got baptized and in this all night prayer, Catherine could happily pray with her mother thanking for this miracle.

Stella from KGF was almost losing hope because for a very long time she was praying for a miracle - to have her family member to become a disciple. But last all night prayer she resolved to believe that God will certainly do it. She wrote this miracle prayer and dropped it in the box. Amazingly her mother became a disciple in 2009 and now her father is studying the Bible.

We are looking forward to see many more miracles to happen in 2010.
We wish you all again a very happy New Year.
