Xtreme Prayer Event Update

Well, let me update you all on the Xtreme Prayer. Our brother Liew, was, is and will still be more stressed as the day approaches April 30. (so do remember him in your prayers). So let me do the updating...

Background, always like background info. Gives us perspective. Initially planned as a slumber, but as fate (God) would have it, a group of us went to Indonesia and joined an event called Xtreme Prayer. They have this every month whereby a group of uni students and youth leaders come together to pray for the nation, their church and youth fellowships. They start around 10pm and goes on until 5am. So adopting the Malaysian Spirit of Malaysia Boleh (or piracy...), we decided to adopt and to try out a similar thing in Ipoh. And voila! Our slumber turned into an Xtreme Prayer!!!

Initially, we are hosting this with the AOG youths. Somehow the numbers don't seem right for the musicians part (translation...we lack musicians) We thought of...Ipoh Wesley!!! And so this Xtreme Prayer became a collaboration event between AOG, Ipoh Wesley and EY.

We then started to think bigger...we invited Gerald Ho from GFS Banting to conduct a Worship Leading workshop and Michael Fun from BSGC Petaling Jaya to conduct the drama workshop. The other two workshops are conducted by in house people. Slowly but surely the Xtreme Prayer took on its own direction and growth. The worship session now is being conducted by Ipoh Wesley and EY with the attendance to date is 56 youths and counting.

So and now we wait. We wait upon our Lord, for we are coming together to pray. We believe that greater things are still to come, greater things are still to be done in the town of Ipoh. And it will begin with the people of God going on their knees to pray...

Come, let's us pray.....
