Tim, Please express my love and gratitude to everyone at Shore Fellowship. We are blessed to stand together with you!

My girls and I have been talking about ONE prayer and how churches all over the world are going to unite and pray and fast together. (Which I just know is only the beginning) So I posed the question to them, what can we do here in our own community to be ONE with other followers of Christ and make a difference in our community? This from an 9yr old: what if we (being you mom)(LOL) contacted different churches, life groups, small groups, flock groups, women’s groups and we partnered with them to reach out to the poor in our community. (At this point she has my total attention) She said it doesn’t matter who did it with us, and we could offer to get it there so that busy people wouldn’t have to mess with it. I love how she thinks!!!! There is a Presbyterian night shelter in downtown Ft. Worth Texas that a friend told us about. Hence the movement begins. They came up with a name: ONEreason. (All kids must name what they are doing it gives them a sense of ownership) ONEreason because there is ONEreason we all do what we do: Jesus. Think about it: we (being all of us) can accomplish and make a bigger impact together than we can divided. In fact it was quoted to me that together we can conquer and make a big difference and divided we fall. (Not sure who said it because it came paraphrased from a 7 yr old but it rang a bell. Thanks for the outside of the church walls thinking, God can not be contained. The girls said tell anna’s dad thanks for the ideal!!!

I just talked to Kerry Shook from Church of the Woodlands in Houston. They will be participating and Kerry will be making his teaching available!

It’s hard to top the food in Baton Rouge…although I did find the best Indian food I’ve ever had in Rwanda.

Joshua,

We don’t have any plans for this concept with youth (that I am aware of), but God often uses experiences like these to shape our ministry further…so who knows.

I think this is amazing - hundreds of churches unified and in prayer over four weeks. One word - WOW!

I would also be interested in knowing if you have any plans to connect church youth groups together in a similar way. I think the potential for some life-changing moments among our students could be extraordinary as well.

I think this will help us see the power of video in a way never before attempted. May God bless everyone who participates! Rockin!

What a great win for the Kingdom. We pray this is just the beginning as the Body of Christ comes together to reach the hurting with the love of Jesus Christ. This will be better then the food we ate together in Baton Rouge!!
