We are so grateful that so many of you were able to be with us. We felt the prayer unity of others around the nation. Jesus asked the question "When the son of man comes will he find faith in the earth." (Luke 18:18) Faith was alive and strong as the assembly proclaimed "Unto you Lord do we lift up our eyes." (Psalm 123:2)

Kingdom Alliance

Each year the Capital Region National Day of Prayer (CRNDP) is a momentous occasion for an assembly of people to come together under the banner of the Lord Jesus Christ. While all together from many denominations, cultures, ethnic groups and nations we were flowing as one voice to call upon the Lord to send an out pouring of His Holy Spirit for repentance and revival in our families, communities, churches and nation.

Prayer for Such a Time as This!

Our nation's greatest hope is in churches/believers praying for spiritual awakening revival. We remember God fearing settlers who came to America with heart felt, biblical faith. They laid the foundation which made it possible for us to openly participate in public and private prayer. The founders of America intended it to be a Christian nation. Proclamations issued by government leaders throughout America's history, urging humiliation, repentance, gathering for prayer; no restraints to appealing to God!

Men and women of faith have used their private and public influence through wars, depressions, natural disasters etc. etc. Many stood against opposition, insisting that America remain steadfast to biblical principles. Pastors, para-church ministries, business men, professional sports persons, radio and TV personalities, etc. stood for their faith. We have a rich heritage.

"The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong" (2 Chronicles 16: 9a). We entered 2010 CRNDP wholly given to Him in trust. Whenever the Lord finds such a people that are "holding fast to their faith and confidence in Him"-- He always show Himself strong. He is faithful to reveal "His" power.

Together In Ministry International

Let no flesh glory in "His" sight as we lift up Jesus only. The core of the CRNDP is the pastors, ministers and leaders who are relationally connect to Together In Ministry (TIM). They donate their time, resources and gifts to this united effort. No participant at the CRNDP received any remuneration. All of us are giving and sowing freely in the future of our nation, you will also notice no introductions or biographies. This is not in any way a measure of disrespect to anyone, but our unanimous desire to reflect that it is all about "Him" our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We come to "Crown Him" and proclaim Our Lord Reigns!

To exalt Him and acknowledge Him as Sovereign God over "all" the nations.

Team Effort...

Without TIM the CRNDP could not take place. On this day TIM is joined by hundreds of dynamic, anointed ministries and multiplied hundreds of believers in worshipful prayer.

Pastors Pre-Gathering...

Local and distant clergy and senior ministry leaders were together in the Rayburn Office Building for an annual gathering preceding the CRNDP. The spiritual tone was set by this pre-gathering.

The outcome of the pre-gathering exceeded our expectations with:

• A renewed bonding and covenant activation among long time friends and new acquaintance.
  
  
• Sweet Spirit of the Lord present at this appointed time of consecration, harmony and unity.
  
  
• the Holy Spirit descended and one leader after the other released words of exhortation as perceived by the Holy Spirit. It was electrifying. Terry MacAlmon flowed with the Holy Spirit in deep anointing evident to all.
  
  

We left the pre-gathering anticipating the release of God's power.

Intercessors CRNDP Pre-Gathering

The Intercessors Prayer Gathering contiued to prepare the pathway for the Lord's presence, focus on the flow of the Spirit and guard the corporateness of the assembly.

The Intercessors came and they were instructed to:

• Consecrate the grounds ..This is Holy Ground
• Unity in the Body as we gathered
• All would stay in the flow of the Spirit
• Praying that God's will be done.

Tremendous Anointing at CRNDP

The wave of His presence and power that flowed over the assembly was in direct proportion to the unity and glory experienced in the pre-gathering.

Small Group Prayer

The assembly prayed in groups, pairs and singles all over the grounds.

Now Generation Youth Consecration

Youth prepared their hearts to receive a spiritual impartation during the ministry flow of the assembly from 4:30 - 8:30pm. Intercessors joined the youth in prayerful heart preparation.

When the children came about 4:00PM we gathered together under the leadership of Pastor Patrick. Then Pastor Patrick began by:

• Thanking God for the presence of the Intercessors to pray for the Now Generation and the youth.
• The Intercessors prayed for them as a corporate Body.
• Pastor Patrick asked them what they needed to tell us to pray specifically for them.

The youth responded: that they:

• Would not yield to temptation
• Seek a closer walk with God
• Follow the Bible as their standard for living
• Open communication with their parents and elders, that we would not judge them but disciple them.
• Love the body of Christ and receive their help as needed

The Intercessors went into groups praying for them individually until the Spirit was finished. Then the Intercessors sat in the midst of the congregation. They helped to form circles of prayer when instructed. They followed the lead of speakers with prayer focus and connected to what was happening on the platform at all times.

Electrifying Worship

We felt like we were standing on Holy Ground the presence of God was evident.

Praise The Lord!

All flowed in worship as the worship teams led the assembly.

Spiritual Fathers Declaration

Fathers Generational Transference. In that day the Lord said by the Prophet Malachi "I will move in a way that the Spirit of Elijah will be present again"

CRNDP 2010 - experiencing a sovereign spiritual visitation as Malachi prophesized.

Father representative's repented to God on behalf of the father's failure.

Pastor Jeffery Rogers asked the youth to forgive their fathers and took responsibility for their actions.

Sealed in our spirits... Awareness and necessity of fathers hearing the cry of this generation.

Responding in humility

Youth representative responded in expressing forgiveness to the fathers for their failures.

Encouraging youth to reach their own generation

Clear Prayer focus received for sustained on-going prayer for the "Now" generation.

Assembly invited to begin a prayer list as representatives of the "Now" Generation shared.

Pray for our generation that we may awaken: how to live a righteous, empowered examples of Christ in all we do. (See specific prayer request list in Overview of pre-gathering with "Now" Generation)

Youth sang their prayer cry in song "Give Us Clean Hands" by Chris Tomlin, led by Benjamin Harris and New Testament Youth Group.

Father's Response to "Now" Generation's Cry

1. Called ages 25 and under to front of stage
2. Ages 26-39 to surround them
3. Ages 40 and older to stretch out their hands

Spontaneous prayer - Spirit led as Pastors, Ministry Leaders moved among the "Now" Generation. We witnessed, CRNDP 2010, Malachi 4:5 and 6 in operation. Surely the "Father's Heart" is turned toward this generation and "Now" Generation toward the Father.

A Spiritual visitation was evident to all.

Senior Statesmen Responding...

A tremendous response from both generations

Fathers in the assembly rushed to the platform to stand with the Gatekeepers from many nations as a gesture of receiving the youth.

Empowering the youth with blessings and encouraging them to go forth and reach their generation for Christ.

Adults commitment to mentoring and instruments of intercession for them to raise up the next generation assuring youth arising to a valuable, essential destiny in Jesus Christ. We sang one to another with sincerity of heart "I Need You to Survive" by Hezekiah Walker. the Spirit of God moved and knitted hearts together. What a moment!

Then as the NOW Generation sang, "Ignite My Fire" by William Murphy, the Spirit of God continued to move in the midst of both generaions as these words became a reality.

Assembly: Instruments of Intercession

Small groups of 3 or 4's petitioned the throne of heaven on behalf of the NOW Generation request.

Grand Finale

Spontaneously we followed the Holy Spirit's lead to look toward the mall at the beginning of a beautiful sunset.

We stretched out our hands toward the sun setting on the maill decreeing the coming together of His body to "seek the peace of the city and pray unto the Lord for it." (Jerimiah 29:7)

We also released a blessing as the sun settled over the US Capitol. "Let the heavens declare, let the seas roar, let all nations say, 'Let the Lord Reign" for His Kingdom purposes.

Bind Us Together: was sung in unison with all the Pastors, Senior Ministry Leaders, and Singers on stage locking arms - the assembly coming together locking arms one with another.

Sampling of Testimonies

Testimony 1

I attended the prayer service yesterday and it was awesome! I am so thankful that God met us yesterday. Thank you for your leadership in building bridges and unity among believers.

I was one of the young people in the 26-40 range (I am 27 years old) and I am so thankful that you all took time to pray foe and over us. It really stirred something in me. I know that I will never be the same. I am so thankful that God is awakening us and drawing us closer to Him so we can go forth in His power!

Testimony 2

After begging one of our female Hispanic students for some time to attend the Capital Region National Day of Prayer, she reluctantly agreed. At one point during the program the youth were asked to gather around the front. As this student approached the front, she was met there by an elderly woman who prayed for her intensely. The Holy Spirit began to fill that student in a supernatural way, and began to weep. This tremendous empowering of the Holy Spirit upon her lasted for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Her life was transformed along with many others. Thank you for your faithfulness in being led by the spirit.

Testimony 3

One of our students shared how God blessed him at the Capital Region National Day of Prayer. He mentioned that three pastors prayed for him and told him everything that was going on in his life. Simultaneously, they expressed to him how he needed to change and accept Christ. Praise the Lord! He did!

Next Step - Moving Forward

Now Generation multicultural conversation began December 2009 and further formulated January 2010. It will continue and expand. They desire open, transparent, intergenerational dialogue, connectivity, interacting with other cultures. Now Generation desires the older generation to equip them, release them to be authentic in responding to their encounter with the Holy Spirit. They desire the older generation to be there for them in the process.

Generational Transference

God's pattern and He has given us an "effectual" door into their hearts. Stand with us in this pursuit. The future of our nation depends on it - we are encouraged! Thank you: You are sowing into good ground. Together we can impact, raise up "Now Generation" to reach their generation. Continue to be faithful in your prayerful support.
