Boiler Room

On Wednesday Nights, we have "ministry teams" students can sign up to take part in... greeters, tech team, photo team, You can see a list here.

Last night, before the message, I went back into our Gym Closet to pray with our Boiler Room Team. The meaning behind the name? This from the Boiler Room Blog:

C.H. Spurgeon, one of the greatest preachers of the late 19th Century, attributed the fruitfulness of his entire ministry to his ‘Boiler Rooms’. These were prayer meetings – often established in basements - that facilitated intercession while he preached Spurgeon, who often preached to crowds of 10,000 in days before amplification, considered these ‘Boiler Rooms’ to be the very power-source of his ministry.

Nearly 20 of our students have committed to take one Wednesday Night a month to, rather than sit in our gathering, meet in a closet and pray for the night.

I'm convinced this stuff makes a difference. After going in, having 4 students and a lay hands on me and pray, I walked onto the stage with a peace and certainty of the presence of Christ than I have had in a while.
