Whatever Happened to Prayer Meetings?
Last weekend I was invited to join a prayer gathering at a local church in Hopelawn, New Jersey—a community so close to New York City that you can see the distinctive skyline in the distance. In recent weeks, Abe Rolon, the pastor of Life Mission Worship Center, has urged members of his church to gather on Friday nights at 9:30 p.m. to pray for the United States and the upcoming presidential election.
When I arrived I was so encouraged to see more than 50 people—mostly young adults in their 20s—gathered at the front of the church to pray. They were all passionately engaged in worship; when it was time to intercede, they were eager to take the microphone and cry out to God.
They asked God to have His way in the Nov. 5 elections. They prayed that Jesus would deliver America from the evil that has been entrenched in our media, in the entertainment industry, in politics and in our educational institutions. And before the night was over, we also prayed that God would stop the spread of communist dictatorship in Latin America.
