Catalyst is a community of 20-somethings who desire to get to know Jesus better. We are marrieds and un-marrieds that have realized something radical: There can be no maturity or wholeness in the Christian life apart from an immersion in and embrace of community. We desire to be such a community.

We also want to have some fun along the way. Life can be hard but it doesn't need to be dreary. Come have fun with us and meet Jesus on the way.

A Dream

A couple of days ago I had a dream (I think it was from the Lord. Could have been Pizza! ;) ). The dream was essentially a warning. Not getting into the details of the dream, I felt like the Lord was saying that I was trying to do too much on my own; I was invading the enemy’s camp by myself. And he warned that such bravado is fool hardy and stupid. I hear the rebuke! We/I need covering. Catalyst is planning an attack on the enemies camp this summer and this isn’t one man’s effort, this is only going to work with God and his kingdom beside us and lots of prayer. With that as an introduction, here are our prayer needs. Please pray for us. We need it.

Prayer Needs

· Please pray that God would be with Catalyst and its “campaign” this summer. We want Him to lead. We are pleading for His favor and that He would go before us.
· Please pray for the success of our “campaign”: 12 weeks that will change your life. We are praying for 400 twenty-somethings that aren’t connected would get connected this summer. (for more info about what I am talking about, look at www.catalyst12.com .)
· Pray that the enemy would be pushed back. The dream I had was specific about how this could all be tripped up by the enemy’s schemes. Pray for protection for me and my family and those that God is calling to help lead Catalyst this summer.
· There is no doubt a harvest to be had. But just like Jesus said, “the Harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” Pray that God would raise up workers for the Harvest.
· Pray that the services that Catalyst “puts on” would be “wow.” We want to do everything excellently. Pray that God would empower our creativity and skills.
· Most importantly, pray that God would come in power. Many our lost, lukewarm and bored with life. Pray that the God of Jesus Christ would come in power and rock our worlds. Pray that His kindness would be felt like a steady rain and that it would cause hundreds to turn to him.

Please: Let me know if you receive any inclinations from the Lord or have any wisdom for us. I covet your prayers.

May God be gracious to us all and may we be part of His Kingdom advancing this summer.
