During this season of prayer and fasting, we’ll be praying into our 2026 Vision: Think Bigger and Beyond. I have a deep sense that we are in a moment of huge opportunity which we must not miss. There is an openness to the gospel in our nation that we have not had for decades. Great reports from church leaders up and down the country continue to testify that God is on the move! To quote the phrase attributed to a great 20^th century church leader, Leonard Ravenhill: "An opportunity of a lifetime must be seized in the lifetime of that opportunity.” This opportunity is for each and every one of us. God works through His church, the body of Christ, and each of us has a vital part to play, as we, individually and together, position ourselves to be ready to welcome a ‘great harvest’ into our church family.

I want to root us in a key verse that the Lord has been impressing on me in this season: ‘I will surely gather all of you… the place will throng with people. The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, the Lord at their head.’ (Micah 2:12-13)

This is a picture of gathering and breakthrough - a Father drawing His children home, and a King leading His people forward.

As we pray, let’s believe for a great ingathering, a great breakthrough, and a great encounter with the Lord as we seek His face.
