It's coming

Hello everyone,

I am sitting in the prayer room, and it is 6am. I'm ready to go to bed, but I feel that I must give you a bit of news. I am enjoying my classes. If you have the deluxe prayer room subscription, you can go back and listen to my prayer during the 12:00-2:00am intercession set. It is still crazy to think that people from Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia may have been joining in agreement with my prayer. I really like being able to pray with the singers and musicians. When an entire room is singing in agreement with your prayer, it feels extraordinary.

I think that my next update should be the most exciting one thus far.

Blessings,
Nathan

A typical day in the life of an FITN intern

I've been at the house of prayer for a week now, and I think it's about time that you learn what a typical day in the life that I will be living for the next three months looks like.

It is 2:30 P.M., and my alarm has been going off for about ten minutes, so I sluggishly roll out of bed and wonder why I am waking up earlier than my roommates. After showering and grabbing all neccessary items for the day (Bible, notebook, FITN binder, and my name tag), I leave Herrnhut Apartments and head to the International House of Prayer Missions Base for some breakfast.

While I'm making my way to "The Corridor" where all of the interns eat breakfast between 1:00 PM and 4:30PM, I stop by the bookstore and purchase an official IHOP Camelbak water bottle which has proven to be useful, but my mother would not approve of the amount of money invested into this wonderful device.

After eating breakfast, I head back to the apartments and talk with one of the other interns. It's fascinating to hear their stories. The people are from all over the nation. I love hearing the story of how they encountered the LORD throughout their lives and discovering why they have decided to spend nearly $2000 to come sit in a room for six hours a day, skip a few meals, and stay up all night. You would like these people.

At 5:30 PM, I jump on a shuttle bus to get to Forerunner Christian Fellowship, similar to a church meeting, at the Forerunner School of Ministry building. I'll be worshiping and receiving teaching here for the next couple of hours. I'll go through the notes a few tim

es after I leave in order to begin to get a grasp on the attributes of Jesus that were taught as Mike spoke to us. (I have a set of notes that has over 150 scripture references.)

My dinner is served in "The Corridor" at 9:00 PM. During this track, they have implemented a finger print scanner into the process of us receiving food. Meals are very good in comparison to most cafeteria food. (The lamb stuffed pitas with the tzatziki sauce served alongside lentils and rice were most excellent.)

10:00PM rolls around, and I head into class with Mr. Clay Edwards. It will take about ten minutes of him teacing about the meekness and the sermon on the mount for me like his cowboy boots have smashed all of my toes and that he had punched me in the face. In the midst of seeing my shortcomings in these classes, I begin to notice something else. It seems that these times lead me to behold Jesus. When I leave the class and head into the prayer room, I will possibly spend hours contemplating the beauty, lovingkindness, patience, humility, and meekness of the man Christ Jesus. (I have found that I enjoying calling him Yeshua HaMashiach when I talk to Him during the late hours of the night.)

Class ends around 11:50, and I run straight into the Prayer Room. After meeting with my core leaders and roommates for about 15 minutes, we set out spend our next sitting before the LORD beholding Him and reminding Him of His great promises.

When 6:00 AM rolls around, my day has ended. Interns scurry back to their apartments because curfiew is at 6:30, and I do my best get to sleep before the sun rises.

Blessings,

Silver

Roommates

The time has come. I have arrived in Kansas City, MO. It's time for you to get to know my roommates. They are Matthew, Jesse, Brandon, and James. We are all Track II interns in the Fire in the Night internship at the International House of Prayer.

We will be living, eating, praying, serving, and attending class together for the next three months. They seem to be a really great bunch of guys.

I ask you to pray for this that we would grow together as we pursue the LORD and His purposes for our lives. I hope that we will push each other to strive for all the God has for us during this season.
