Dear People of the Northstate Vision:

The Kingdom of God on earth is all about this: Prayer and proclamation. This ministry is likewise all about these two things; indeed, all of us in the Body of Christ need to be about this prayer and proclamation – as the Children of Israel were all about the Worshipping at the burning bush and Walking the exodus from Egypt. In practical terms that means that modern day Christians need to be praying for (and praising God for) all things needful – however trivial and however beyond our grasp they may seem to be. And we need to be proclaiming God’s goodness and glory in these things from the moment His answer appears on the horizon as a cloud the size of a man’s fist – to cite the lesson from Elijah and First Kings 18.

For the past two years we have called for concerted and sustained prayer for rain in the face of the three year drought in California, and you prayed. In January we proclaimed the end of the drought when the first great wave of rains was still soaking our state and we had months to wait for the fullness – if it were going to come at all. Some agreed with the proclamation and some called us just plain loony-tunes crazy. Proclamation worthy only if it carries risk of being wrong; prayer is worthy only if it carries desperation.

More recently we called for sustained prayer over the man-made drought in California’s Central Valley – a drought endable only if a federal judge reverses his decision. You prayed, and Judge Wanger has issued a preliminary ruling reversing his order to shut down the water pumps in the Sacramento River Delta. All things are possible with God through prayer – and now is the time for proclamation and praise. Time also to issue another call for prayer – this time God wants us praying for harvest. See inside.
CURRENTPrayNorthstateEVENTS

• PrayNorthState launches a new radio ministry aimed at fostering intergenerational understanding and respect September 5 – the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend. Called Genesis Generation Radio, the two-hour live call-in program will air on Sunday Evenings from 6-8. It will feature rotating teams of co-hosts and each team will consist of a boomer aged host partnering with a genesis generation aged co-host. At least one member of each team will have serious counseling and crisis intervention experience and credibility. The teams will talk about whatever is of interest that week while modeling intergenerational honor and respect to each other. They will take calls from young people and their families.

• The program will be simulcast on Redding’s KCNR (AM 1460) and Red Bluff’s KBLF (AM 1490) each Sunday Evening. It reaches four counties and will be webcast. Call 530-941-3470 if God might be calling you to sponsor.

• PrayNorthState Radio has impacted our region for Christ since 2001. Our radio broadcasts are heard in Redding, Red Bluff, Mt. Shasta, Chico, and Yreka. E-mail praynorthstate@charter.net or call 530-941-3470 to sponsor.

• If you would like to book or attend any of the teaching events we do – or learn more about them – call 530-941-3470 or e-mail praynorthstate@charter.net.

WHAT’S UP IN THE NORTHSTATE AND BEYOND

• The Harvest 2010 Prayer Call is underway. More than 70 ministries are partnering on this project in which Christians all over the nation are urged to pray the Lord of the Harvest (Luke 10:2) to send workers into His fields, which are white for harvest. The Call – which was given as a word to the Rev. Dan Prout of Sierra Ministries International – asks of participants daily prayer for the harvest – nothing more. We are proud to serve on the initiating team and more info is available at http://prayercallforharvest2010.blogspot.com/. Contact us at praynorthstate@charter.net if as a ministry leader you want to partner in this project. Let all who read this pray daily for its fulfillment.

• PrayNorthState TV – which has been on the air continuously in our region for the past six years – has been forced to suspend production by the FCC. During an audit of the Fox station that broadcasts us it was determined that we do not include closed captioning on our broadcasts. The equipment to bring us into compliance with federal regulations costs many thousands of dollars. Until we can secure the loan or donation of some used equipment of this type Fox is forbidden to broadcast our programming or risk heavy fines. We ask all of our supporters to pray over this situation and – if any know where we might obtain this equipment at no cost – please call us at 530-941-3470. And in case any are wondering – we are not being discriminated against; we have simply run afoul of some regulations about which we were ignorant and no one is willing to make an exception for us.

• PrayNorthState Radio now broadcasts on Butte Broadcasting’s Radio KKXX, heard in the Chico region on AM 940 and FM 104.5. We need businesses to sponsor the adventure – but we praise God for beginning this ministry pre-funded. Listen for us in the Chico region on Saturdays from 8-9 AM.

• City on the Hill Youth Leadership Conference is an annual event sponsored and led by the Capitol Resource Institute. COTH is a weeklong summer camp, led by Christians experienced in political arenas, in which young people become mock legislators and debate current legislation. They learn from and hang out with experts in government, education, policy-making, and media. The 2010 event is held at William Jessup University – a Christian school – in Rocklin, CA from July 20-25. Contact CRI at kengland@capitolresourceinstitute.org.

• The 50th Anniversary of the launch of the Charismatic Renewal in the Pacific Northwest, under the pastoral guidance of The Rev. Dennis Bennett, will be celebrated in a commemorative event scheduled for July 31 and intended as a launch pad for renewal. Fr. Bennett went home to the Lord in 1990, but his legacy is alive and well. If you might be able to attend please rsvp to Overlake Christian Church, 9900 Willows Rd, Redmond, WA 98052-2531 or go to the web site occ.org for information or to register.

• The first Bible Reading Marathon in New England was completed on Sunday Morning, June 27. Gale force winds created states of civil emergency in the towns surrounding Darien, CT, on the second day of the reading, but the storm bypassed Darien. Many townsfolk approached the readers to say they knew the city was spared damage because the Word of God was being spoken in public there. (The readers based on the lawn of the Town Hall.) The peace that spread was palpable to believers and pre-believers, and the print and broadcast media gave lavish and favorable coverage to an event that would appear strange in the highly secularized culture of the region. Several other regional marathons are planned. PrayNorthState introduced these marathons to the region in February.

• Keith Green was one of the great pioneers of contemporary Christian music, as well one of the premier figures associated with the Jesus People movement of the late sixties, seventies, and eighties. Prayer Surge Now and Californians 4 Jesus plan a night of remembrance and re-launch in this season of harvest and preparation for harvest. The evening is planned for July 28 – the day on which Keith Green went to heaven, and a day of co-incidence in terms of his age at the time of death and the numbers of years passed since his death – 28. Organizer Dai Sup Han can be reached at 530-570-0085 by phone and at www.lastdaysministries.org on the web. Dai Sup seeks believers who can provide a facility – whether their church or another site – to host a live webcast featuring Green’s widow, Melody Green alongside YWAM’s President John Dawson – along with others – as they reflect on Green’s life and significance for the Kingdom – and what God seems to be showing the Body at this time.

• In our NorthState region Neighborhood Church of Chico will host the Keith Green commemorative event, titled “No Compromise”, at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, July 28. Contact Dai Sup (see above) or call the church at 530-343-6006 for information or to participate. Contact Dai Sup Han directly to inquire about providing or hosting another local site for the event.

• Walid Shoebat, former Islamic Terrorist and author of Why I Left Jihad, is now a Christian and a lover of the Jews and Israel. Shoebat will speak on Sunday, July 18, at Sunset Community Church, 2200 Arroyo Road, in Livermore. Call 925-447-6282 for information on this man who risks his life for Jesus each time he appears in public.

• Jesus Culture returns to Redding Wednesday through Friday, July 28-30. The conference that trains and releases young people to take transformative revival to the streets of their communities and has spread to nearly a dozen nations since 1999 will be held again at Redding Convention Center. Featured speakers include founder Banning Liebscher, Sean Smith and Cindy Jacobs. The Jesus Culture Band will lead worship. Go to www.ibethel.org.

• THECALLSACRAMENTO comes to Sacramento with founder Lou Engle for the first time Labor Day Weekend, September 3-5. Go to www.thecall.com.
