TeamKenya2008’s Weblog

Rex and members of Deepening (GrX small group in San Mateo) made us an awesome pancake breakfast!  Then Eugene Hsu and his band (Cliff, Sam, and Gordon) led a worship session to prepare us for Matthew Geppert’s (of the South East Asia Prayer Center) talk on prayer walking. 

He taught us that the Lord reveals himself to his people (Isaiah 40:3-11, 42:1-4), and that there are four things that we war against (Eph 6:12):

1)       “the rulers” (people who intimidate you),

2)       ”the authorities” (Jesus gives us all authority to speak as we humbly submit to his voice),

3)       “the powers of this dark world” (people who will use you, the Lord asks us to pray for them), and

4)       “the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (creepy, giant nasty things, idols manifested in different individuals).

There are 5 pressure points in any situations: Centers of…

1)       Government,

2)       Education,

3)       Commerce,

4)       Communication and

5)       Spiritual Activity.

Pastor Rob then dispatched all the teams to go to downtown SJ and other areas to prayer walk.  Team Kenya started out at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library and then circled the campus.  We had lunch at La Victoria’s and then watched Iron Man during our break.
