There's a

monthly prayer meeting on the first Thursday. It's for

all people and it's been led by ministers from different

backgrounds. Catholics, Protestants, Charismatics are all

participating in this prayer meeting. No telling what God

is going to do just there.

Here's more

evidence. Sitting with all sorts of ministers at the IHOP

breakfast table Tuesday morning, The Rev. Dr. Justin

Kollmeyer, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church,

invites the whole raft of ministers to participate in the

ordination of a Lutheran minister. Now, that's

extraordinary. Can you imagine a Pentecostal pastor

laying hands on a Liturgical ordination candidate? That's

the Spirit! But this is the flavor of stuff happening all

across our area. It's happening in many communities. God

is up to something-something more than we can see

and know.

More

evidence. Because of an ardent commitment to prayer on

the part of some faithful Peachtree City

believers-especially women, this coming October will

see the Jesus Video mailed to every residence in Fayette

County. Can you imagine what's going to happen to

thousands of VCRs? They are going to be redeemed.

Heretofore, they have played "R" rated and

maybe a few "X" rated movies. Now, they will

screen the greatest story ever told: the birth, death,

resurrection of Jesus Christ, the man of the last two

millenniums.

I can't

express it in words how excited I am about what the

Spirit is doing in these last few months of the last

thousand years. I've been in the pastoral ministry for 25

years. However, I've never been more excited and more

anticipatory of what God is doing. Indeed these are the

greatest days to be alive on planet earth.

The Rev. Dr. John

Hatcher is pastor of River's Edge Community Church in

Fayetteville.
