Have you heard of this \”Miracle Generation\” coming up in the UK today? A friend of mine visiting our Oakmont office from London recently shared with me some encouraging news from his homeland. He said, \”There is a generation that does not believe in abortion, gets good grades, does not drink alcohol, and who are seeing through the traps of society that have kept previous generations down and avoiding them.\” They are called the \”Miracle Generation\” and they are gathering for prayer meetings on University campuses today across the land. He shared that they say things like, \”look how much money you waste!\” as they resist the pubs to choose a different lifestyle. What a revolution! Man, I\’d love to see that here in the States. Why not? Right. I can believe for that here in our country. As we pray for that in the US, I want to stand with our friends in the UK and support what God is doing there.
You may remember two years ago when we followed the push of the Holy Spirit to open an SEAPC office in the UK. The purposes that we submitted for approval were as follows. First, to mobilize prayer within the region. Second, to serve the needs of the people within the region. Lastly, to lead UK citizens into other nations to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. After much prayer and hard work by our dear friend Oi-Yin Sung, our registration was approved and for the past two years, we have been praying with new and old friends within the UK for revival.
Our friends across the pond asked us to send people to pray in England. Last year our prayer team engaged with incredible local ministries who seemed as though they had been in battle for years. Nearly exhausted and losing hope, one local leader asked, \”Can we get the world to pray for us?\” I said yes, trusting that you would join me.
Another UK friend shared a vision with me that fit perfectly into what we at SEAPC are called to do. He said, \”We need ten teams next year to come and boost capacity in this nation!\”
Feeling confident that this global community would be pumped by the idea of traveling into London and surrounding cities to pray, I agreed. \”Count us in… but please share with me more about what capacity building means to you.\”
\”These ministries are battle-worn,\” he said. \”They are losing hope. What they need are friends of SEAPC to come alongside of them, pray with them, jump in and minister with them, hit the streets and share Jesus, heal the sick, love on the lost, and direct those they minister to back into the local leaders.\” Build capacity!
After hearing the Miracle Generation report, I see now why God was speaking this through him last year. God knows what is happening in the Miracle Generation and what He is doing by shaking up the UK to its core this year. He knows that the region will need help and He is calling in allies to pray and serve. He is calling us!
We got this! But first we have to pray. I was encouraged to recently hear that our friends, Pastor Yang Tuck Young, Dick Eastman, and Mark Batterson have been drawn into prayer for the UK again at this time. If those guys are praying, then we know many more are praying as well.
