Oh my goodness - sooooooo much has happened in the past 2 months!
I don't know where to start!!

MARCH TRIP TO IHOP
At the beginning of March, Patricia was doing a teaching session with some
staff at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City and we had the
option of travelling with her.


Here is some info cut and pasted from their web-site.........
On September 19, 1999, a prayer meeting began which continues to this day. Prayer and worship has continued twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Mary of Bethany extravagantly worshiped Jesus by pouring her alabaster flask of costly perfume onto His body. For this, the disciples criticized her; yet Jesus commended her. It is our desire to worship Jesus in this way, pouring out our lives before Him. We long for IHOP to be a place of encounter—a place for personal transformation, fresh revelation, and training in the Word; a place where hearts are set free and bodies are healed; a place where believers are unified and fresh direction is received; a place where we can gather to intercede for the in-breaking of revival.


3 vanloads of us set off from Stratford on 12 March at the crack of dawn
headed for Kansas City, Missouri. We arrived there around 11pm and
were staying with friends of John & Patricia's - Paul & Shirley and their
3 children. (all 13 of us stayed with them for 2 of the 5 nights!)

The House of Prayer is like nowhere I have ever been!
It is one of my favourite places, and I really feel like I will be going back......
The main emphasis of IHOP is on knowing Jesus - talking to and
worshipping Him. There is prayer & worship to Jesus - all the time!
Bands take 2 hourly shifts, so there are 12 slots per day and there are
different themes, but there is always music.
The people pray with such a passion and boldness for many things
such as poverty, abortion, human trafikking and different countries
around the world. Patricia was teaching on the Thursday night,
the rest of the time being our own, to spend in the House of Prayer.
As we have just begun 24/7 in the Stratford House of Prayer,
Patricia wanted us to learn as much as possible from Kansas City
as they have been going for over 8 years!
