Passion for Prayer

T.W. Hunt has been such a blessing in my life over the years, but spending a weekend with him during our prayer conference was a wonderful highlight that I will cherish for many years.  T.W.  has a unique passion for the Lord that translates into his prayer life.  While around him throughout a day, his passion and his prayer life are a contagious experience.  I found myself wanting to stop and pray even more than usual.  I was quicker to name the blessings of God, as they were like neon signs in front of me.  I was also overwhelmed with the people the Lord put in our path, it was if evangelism was the obvious result of a life that was so focused on Christ.   I must confess that I would only hope that one day I could be a person of influence like the man I was blessed to pray, worship, and witness alongside of this weekend.

The prayer conference was indeed life-changing for many and I rejoice with each one.  I hope that the fellowship of First Baptist Church Harlingen will not lose the impact of this past weekend for many generations to come.  We rejoice with the many who filled the altar during both services on Sunday morning following the challenge that God brought through T.W. Hunt.  We believe that each person will continue their commitment to step forward in the battle and assume the role of intercessor and pray for the powerful moving of God in our nation and world.  

God bless each one as we stay true to the commitment to pray daily in the power of the Holy Spirit; and may we all become people of great influence as we grow more passionately in love with God.

Praying passionately,

Bro. Wade
