International Cell Church Prayer Network Rebirth

God is so awesome and gives you the desire of your heart, especially when your heart matches His! Let me tell you an amazing story. In 1999 while on a 40-day fast, God broke my heart over the nations. He laid on my heart the vision for coordinating prayer for cell churches around the world. I began to pray over nations and ask God to connect me to a Pastor from that nation that I could pray for. I would ask them for their "Faith Vision Goals;" something they were dreaming about that only God could do! God beagn to give me contacts. The common denominator was Christ and Cell Church. In other words, churches who understood the importance of both large group celebration and cells. I call this the two-winged church where people meet together and then gather in cell groups during the week for more intimate growth and discipleship. To make a long story short, in three years I had 60 participants representing 40 nations. I would send out a prayer request for one of these Pastors daily and that request would circulate the nations. Wonderful things happened as we prayed for each other and the God given dreams. People started partnering for missions and many friends were made across denominational lines.

Recently God has given me the vision and passion to begin this process all over again. I envision having a cell church representing every country as well as a cell church representing all 50 States. I recently received an e-mail from the first Pastor in the new network for prayer. Here is what he said:

"Dear brother in Christ; I am pastor Suresh from India. I am doing my ministry in Hyderabad A.P iNDIA. Hyderabad is a big city in India I am started my church with 5 members now I have nearly 150 members I want learn more about cell church please pray for me and my church. I am working in poor slum area I have no church building we are conducting prayers in rented building. The believers very poor and laborers please pray for my family and church."

My cell group has adopted this Pastor and his family and church. We are going to pray for them and encourage them and do whatever the Lord directs us to do. I am very excited and hope that all the cell groups in our church will be able to adopt Cell Churches from the Nations!
