Monday evening we went to the prayer meeting put on by 'Jesus culture' which was broadcast live via simulcast around the world. Once again, praying did not involve gathering in groups or praying one-on-one but revolved around worship with the leader, Banning directing how we were to pray; with your prayers focusing on revival for a generation with a major revival event happening in June in Chicago.

Last night, being Thursday night, we went to their home group and had home cooked Spanish food then enjoyed some good fellowship. We were quite exhausted and I was nod...
