    Wells of Revival Prayer Gatherings

    On June 25th, 2015, 19 pastors from Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist and Christian and Missionary Alliance backgrounds, met inside the Mt. Bethel Meeting House.  This is the very building, built in 1737, where seven documented revivals took place prior to the Revolutionary War!  We sang hymns, called on the names of God, pleaded with God for His forgiveness on this region for a turning away from His holiness.  We declared that this area was His, and that we were recommitting ourselves as His ‘priests’ to lead His Bride into holy pursuit of His righteousness.  We climbed into the balcony, which had been reserved for the slaves and the Native Americans back in the 18th century.  We cried out to God for His forgiveness for the racism of our forefathers. 

    After two hours of prayer we gathered on the platform of that little chapel and recommitted ourselves to the calling of God to preach Jesus and only Jesus!  We declared that as we preach Jesus, God will begin to draw all men to Himself in this area.

    As we closed in prayer and began to plan our next move, someone asked:  “So, what do you sense God would have us do from here?”  To which the voice came back:  “Why don’t we begin to visit each of the 14 wells mentioned along the Rt. 78 corridor?  We will seek God and ask that He return to these communities with power and glory!”  The strategic plan is to visit one former Well of Revival each month for the next 13 months!

    Our next prayer gathering will be on August 12 in Princeton.  We will gather to pray about why Princeton was founded and reflect on the lives of Jonathan Edwards, Aaron Burr, John Witherspoon, Archibald Alexander, and others as the Lord leads. We will also pray for discernment about the role of Christian education in the 21st Century. We hope you can make it! RSVP below if you can!
