PRAYER MEETING TONIGHT

Revolutionaries:

I’ve had a heavy heart today, for many various reasons. The DRR has been growing. Because of that, we’ve had many “growing pains”. We’ve also had many challenges, unrelated to that growth. More on these matters later.

I’ve been wanting to start a larger-scale “Pray for the DRR” initiative, but wasn’t sure how to do it. More on this later, too.

I’ve been sitting at my desk, trying to focus, and simultaneously struggling through these things. I read two blog posts by one of our board members, Miranda, and they pushed me to the point of tears. With nothing left to do, I closed my office door, laid with my face on the floor, and begged God to do SOMEthing. To take all of this and do what He wants with it.

I’ve been thinking of holding a DRR “prayer meeting” the last few days, but it never felt right.

And this morning, while I was crying out to God, with no lead-up and no apparent reason, I saw a circle of people, holding hands, praying under my carport.

I can’t argue with that.

Tonight at 8:15 p.m., I’d like to invite you to the Dirty Roots Revolution HQ (a.k.a “My Garage”). I’ll fill you in on some of what we’ve been facing and we’ll pray together for the DRR, for those we serve, for our leadership, etc. It’s fitting that the location is the site of an upcoming project, wherein we hope to convert my garage into office/storage space for the DRR to make us more efficient and effective. We can ask for blessings on that, too.

This is a “first” for us, but we ask that if you’re available and interested, to please join us. We will cry out to God to ask His blessing on the efforts of the DRR, His guidance for our leadership, and most of all for His will be done.

This is short-notice. But our board feels that this is of the utmost urgency for us. We don’t have time to plan, we feel we must do this now. More than anything else, we're in need of prayer now.

This is a come-and-go event. If you’re late, just join the group. If you need to leave, just slip away. You can stay the entire time, or for five minutes.

If you can’t make it, please pray from your home or wherever you are. Lift up the DRR as a group, lift up our volunteers, lift up those we serve, lift up our leadership. Pray for clarity, strength, unity, etc. MOST OF ALL, PRAY THAT GOD WOULD SHOW US WHAT HE WANTS AND THAT WE RECEIVE THAT MESSAGE AND PUT WHATEVER HE WANTS INTO ACTION.

We’ll consider this the official start of the “Pray for the DRR” initiative. You’ll hear a lot more about that possibly as early as tonight, but definitely in the next day or so.

Thank you so very much.

Thanks to each of you for your interest in and support of the Dirty Roots Revolution. One person CAN make a difference through small things. One of the “easy” actions we can take is prayer. Thank you for your prayers. Each on of you matters and each one of your prayers matter. Those who pray are just as revolutionary as those who “give” and/or “go”. That is our one true constant need.

We hope to see you tonight, even if only for a while. Again, if you can’t make it, please feel free to pray on your own.

In it with you,
Ryan Mifflin
Director, Dirty Roots Revolution
