Dear Brothers,
Something happened in the last several months of our Living Proof Live women’s events that we’ve never seen before. Groups of men felt compelled by God to band together and intercede for the women attending the event in their city. The occasions were completely unrelated to one another. We knew God was stirring it up when the lead-out event with a covering of men was in Canada. Not only were we thrilled and grateful for their participation around these events through prayer. We saw remarkable works of God and felt that He’d nodded over the unity and mutual esteem. And, to tell you the truth, just feeling significant to them felt significant. We believe deeply that God honored the way these brothers in Christ honored their sisters. He listened, He approved, and He responded. The willingness of these men to do the work of intercession in our behalf humbled us, blessed us, and brought us a unique joy before God. Esteem is a powerful form of love and it was not lost on us.
This coming Saturday, September 15th, well over 150,000 of your sisters in Christ will gather through a Living Proof Live simulcast for a fresh encounter with God from 9:30 – 4:15 Eastern Standard Time. If God has His unhindered way, this could be a true revival of faith for many women. That’s what I feel He’s purposed for it and called me to specifically request from Him. A goal like that is completely out of human hands. I can’t study hard enough for what I’m asking. We can’t pray long enough or prepare well enough. Our knees are down, our faces are up, and our Bibles are open but what we need is Heaven wide-open and grace spilled down in a drenching flood. We want God to reveal Himself in a way we can’t ignore or recover from the next week.
Recently my eyes fell on a little 4-word verse (in the ESV) at the conclusion of the First Letter to the Thessalonians: Brothers, pray for us. I stared and stared at it and thought, sometimes you just up and ask for it. And that’s what your sisters are doing right now. Based on what we’ve already seen God initiating in the hearts of men these last few months, would you graciously commit to pray for us on Saturday? Or even right now toward Saturday? We’re not asking you to do anything particularly formal or in groups. We’re just asking as many brothers as possible to pray on their own for a large group of sisters meeting in the name of Christ and the Word of God. By all means, we want the prayers of many husbands of participants but we’re really asking for something broader. We’re asking for brothers to pray for sisters they may never meet. We’re asking you to pray for a harvest that you may personally never see.
We’re asking for some young men to pray and some old men to pray. We’re asking for some single men to pray, some husbands to pray and some widowers to pray. We’re asking some student ministers to pray and some senior pastors to pray. If some of you happen to feel led to go the extra mile and fast through lunch on Saturday in order to be more focused in prayer, who are we to argue? We’ll receive it! There are no rules or restraints on the process. Just do it however God leads in the name of Christ.
If you’re willing, we’d be tremendously encouraged if you’d give us an idea of the of support system we have among you by leaving a brief comment to this post. All we’d request is your name and your city. It could be as simple as this:
Keith Moore in Houston, Texas.
If you’re a pastor or you serve at a church or in a ministry, we’d also love to know where.
If you’re not that enthusiastic about signing on the dotted line here through a comment, no worries! Just pray!
We don’t just want your prayers. We need them. So many women out there feel like they’re drowning in an ocean of demands or evaporating in a desert. They need courage and encouragement. Lord, have mercy, I do, too. This is no culture for Christian cowards. You certainly know that.
Please fight for us.
We will gladly repay this debt of love and pray for you.
Thank you so much, gentlemen. Believe God for us and may God backwash immense blessing right over you. By the way, the main host site for this Saturday’s gathering is in Reading, Pennsylvania…at The Sovereign Center. Yep. We’ll take that.
“He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords…To Him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.”
In His unfathomable love,

For the past couple years I’ve driven hours to be at your event — and wouldn’t you know this weekend you are in my ‘backyard’ — and I have a conflict — I’m speaking at a retreat in Wyoming! 🙂 I am so sad to miss it — but a group of ladies from our church will be there — and please know — I am praying for God to work in their lives! Blessings as you come to a city rated, sadly, with the highest poverty level — materially but spiritually too — Reading, Pennsylvania needs God desperately. Our God reigns!

This literally made me cry – the idea of capital-J-Jesus-loving, Spirit-filled, Godly men praying for us (and I won’t even be at the gathering) moves me to tears. It’s such a beautiful thing, a precious, precious gift. Thank you, brothers. Thank you, Lord.
Believing Our Father will do great things.
Jerome Samuel in Ottawa, Canada.
I will definitely be praying for you guys.
When I was reading this tears of joy and awe started streaming down my face. The feeling of being encircled in prayer is not lost on me (or any of us for this weekend).
Six women from my church will be making the drive to Reading this weekend. The devil has been at work this week trying to create problems so that one, two, or all of us would not be able to attend. BUT we will not be defeated! All six of us will be piling in the mini-van with only one bag allowed for each of us (Lord have mercy on us)!
We desperately need and desire a fresh encounter with the Risen Savior!
Thank you brothers for praying and what a mighty blessing you have given us!
We, here in Reading are just thrilled about all of you that are making the trip to attend the Live event and all of you who are praying!!!

I have seen much growth come out of the Living Proof resources through my wife and the women’s ministry she is a part of. I am honored to join with you and the other men who are praying. I serve as a men’s group leader here in Baltimore, MD, and we’re praying for our ladies who are gathering for the simulcast this weekend, for Living Proof Ministries, for the speakers and for God to be glorified in the hearts and minds, the words and the presentations of all those involved.

Hi Barb,
I’ve just read the full document and it will be my privilege to pray for you individually and together starting now and right through Saturday.
If you know the names of the others attending from your Tuesday Night Group pass their names along as well. It’s good to be as specific as possible.
I already feel excited by what God will do.
Blessings,
Phil.

I have just begun praying for the whole conference in general and for the women attending from our church, St. Paul’s on-the-Hill, Pickering, Ontario.
May every aspect of the event be anointed by the Holy Spirit.

I’ve invited only those women whom the Lord has revealed to my home for this event. Not knowing who will attend for sure, I have been praying for an annointed Word for each of them. Thank you for your prayerful covering.
To God alone be the Glory-
