Dear Friends,

Some of us are heading out on Wednesday with everyone arriving by Thursday afternoon / evening for the start of The Heart of Texas Boot Camp. (Pray for everyone’s safe travel!)

We need you praying every day of the boot camp and for us!  God is drawing men from all over the state, plus a significant number of men from Haven for Hope – men who could never attend an event such as this, will be coming.  How sweet is that!

As Mr. Beaver says to the children in Narnia:  “Aslan is on the move!”.  And, so he is.  So, he is.

One man, on his registration commented that ‘he is in need of spiritual revival’.   Oh my!  I am fully expectant that Jesus will meet that man and every man at Camp Buckner this weekend.  So, let’s pray that:

Jesus, you are truly awesome.  For you are the Word through whom all of creation was spoken into existence.  Yet, you were made flesh and dwelt among us.  You know each man coming to The Heart of Texas Boot Camp.

You have called them and are leading them to this weekend.  Now, we pray that nothing prevents your meeting with them.  It is written that you walked in the garden and spoke with the man.  Do that with each man.  Speak to them in a way they can hear and receive you.

Sweep through this boot camp with your power.  Break through to these men with your good news.  Bring healing to the broken hearted, the wounded.  Release those that are captive to any bondage of any kind.  Set free those that are imprisoned by all darkness.  Crown those that mourn and whose lives are in ashes with your glory.  Bless them with joy and festive praise, instead of despair!

Make each man into a man of righteousness, like a great oak or Redwood planted only for your glory – to display your splendor!

Oh, Jesus.  We pray you do this throughout the event.  May the Father, father these men in places they were never fathered.  May the Holy Spirit inhabit every moment and every man.  We pray for your glory and anointing to flood this camp.

We release you Jesus to have your way at your boot camp.  We agree with that long ago prayer of Charles Wesley:

Come, Thou long expected Jesus

Born to set Thy people free

From our fears and sins release us

Let us find our rest in Thee.

So, Jesus, do that:  set free, release, give rest.  Empower, strengthen, and so inspire these men that they may go back into their worlds new men in you and may they impact their worlds and their cultures through the changes you are doing in them.

Let them begin a new trek in their life with you at The Heart of Texas Boot Camp!  We pray all this in your holy and precious name.  Amen!

Hopefully, this gives you an idea of what to pray, in case I can’t email you until after the boot camp.  Again, thanks for holding us up in prayer – you are as much a part of this mission and this weekend as those of us at it!

All for him,

George
