crosswalk.com put together a great summary of the practical applications from the blueprint. check it out!

From slavery to the civil rights movement, it was always the praying remnant that mobilized the future into being with intercession and activism. Today, the same God who ended these atrocities and injustices wants to use this generation to end abortion.

While reading a quote in a biography on William Wilberforce, the great parliamentary figure of the 1800s who almost single-handedly ended the slave trade in England, I was suddenly and forcibly apprehended by the presence of God. In that moment, I received an undeniable and irrevocable commission from the Lord: “Raise up a prayer movement to end abortion in America.” TheCall is a part of that prayer movement.

God is looking for intercessors. That’s not just a fancy word to replace “prayer.” It is a high calling�some say the supreme vocation. There is a small piece of real estate that exists in between God and His rebellious creation, and it’s called “the gap.” You are called to stand there. You were made to stand there. God said, “I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.” (Ezekiel 22:30)

On January 12, TheCall is going to an historic piece of real estate that was the gap between God and slavery�Cincinnati, Ohio. A slave who made it across the Ohio River sent a message back to his family who lived in slavery in the South: “Tell them if they can only get to Cincinnati, they can get liberty.”

Cincinnati was where the Underground Railroad brought them to safety. Cincinnati was the place where a new breed of abolition preachers fanned through the nation shaking the ideologies of slavery. Cincinnati is where the slave trade of pornography was completely banned for 20 years just in recent history. Cincinnati is the place where the right-to-life movement began in America. And Cincinnati is where a profound adoption movement is being raised up to care for every unwanted child and every unborn child.

The true heir to the civil rights movement is not homosexual liberties, but freedom for the unborn and the pregnant mother, and the Underground Railroad for the great injustice of abortion is adoption.

We are releasing a sudden summons to everyone within a day’s drive, even to the whole nation, to TheCall Ohio on January 12: “If you can get to Cincinnati, the nation may find liberty. If you can get to Cincinnati, the pornography addict may find liberty. If you can get to Cincinnati, the unborn may find liberty.”

It’s Joel 2! When there is no hope for a nation, when there is no remedy, God still has a holy prescription: Blow the trumpet, gather the people, and call a fast. We must humble ourselves because we have offended heaven.

Isaiah 1 says that God hates our prayer gatherings, for our hands are filled with blood, and we don’t take care of the widow and the orphan. We have not demonstrated the compassionate heart of God to a desperate world. Let us gather and repent for the church of the nation in Cincinnati and become His hands of mercy to the poor and afflicted! We must ask God to raise up crisis pregnancy centers, pregnant mothers’ homes and a movement of adoption to explode across the nation.

Ohio will be ground zero once again for the elections in 2008. We will gather and cry out to God for mercy that we do not deserve. God, give us a humble man that will lead this nation in compassion and humility out of abortion and into the favor of heaven!

In Ohio, Finney’s bones lie buried, and written upon his tombstone are the words, “The Lord our God be with us as He was with our fathers. . . .” Can Finney’s bones live again? It is time to groan in prayer for the third great awakening in America!

On the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., we will gather and cry out that the voice of the African American will once again arise and lead this new movement of justice. We will pray the dream of King�that God will break racism and shatter poverty in inner cities. We will pray that a nation conceived in liberty will be able to see their children conceived in liberty, and we will cry out in the gap for mercy�that the effusion of innocent blood may end so that a nation may not have to face a day of reckoning for the shedding of the innocent blood of the unborn.

As Abraham Lincoln said in his second inaugural address:

Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue . . . until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”

Oh, America, we are in a crisis! If 600,000 men died in the battlefields of the Civil War�both north and south, black and white�for the shed blood of the slaves, then what will it mean to America�black and white and north and south�if God brings a day of reckoning for the shed blood of 50 million babies? This is not a Democrat and Republican issue; this is a day of survival for a nation. Hear the trumpet alarm!

Let a cry for mercy arise in Ohio. Let us stand in this little piece of real estate and plead a better blood. Let us release a new abolition movement�a generation of new preachers, movie writers, and musicians�to assail this covenant with death. And may a new Underground Railroad spring up from the hearts of the church, crying, “Give us your babies!”

I believe TheCall Ohio could be a defining moment for America.

“I looked for a man to stand in the gap.”

President of TheCall

Dear Body of Christ,

This is an urgent letter asking for your help. If the movie “Bella” does not get high box office scores this weekend (people watching it in theaters) it will be taken out of theaters. It is “do or die” for this film to succeed this weekend. We need to mobilize everyone we know to watch this film Fri-Sunday (Nov 16-18). Why?

As many of you have heard, the movie “Bella” has been changing and literally saving lives across this nation. The story is about a young woman in NYC who decides to not have an abortion after experiencing the unconditional love of a friend. This movie has won the critically acclaimed “Toronto Film Festival” (People’s Choice Award) which launched many Oscar winning films (Life is Beautiful, American Beauty, Amelie, Chariots of Fire, Hotel Rwanda, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) and Grand Prize at the Heartland Film Festival (the biggest family-friendly film festival in the world). The story behind this film is a miracle, Christ-centered and we as God’s people need to get behind this movie and do all we can to help.

This is what we need from you to do today, in the next 48 hours.

How You Can Help Bella:

1. The Mission: There are 86 markets showing Bella this weekend. The goal is to mobilize at least 300 people to watch Bella in each theater/screen in your market. By having 300 people watch at each theater, we reach the near $3, 000.00 minimum goal per screen which will keep Bella in theaters.
2. Bella Champions: In each region, we are recruiting at least 2 “Bella Champions” who can commit to recruiting 10 people who can recruit 15+ each to watch Bella this weekend (Friday-Sunday) in your region. Reply ASAP to this email or post if you will volunteer and let me know which market you represent. (There is a list of markets where Bella is playing at the end of this letter).
3. Support: I and the Bella team will be available to support you in your mobilization. We will have people in communication with you for support and we will get you in contact with other Bella champions in your region for mutual support.

If you can be a Bella champion for your city, please email me back at bellachampion@gmail.com with:

Name

Email

Phone number

Region/city

If you would like to find out how else you can help / would like to help in recruiting other champions, please let us know as well.

4. Your Objective:

1) Volunteer as a Bella Champion

2) Recruit a team of student Team Captains each to be assigned and responsible for a different theater in your market (you want at least 1 Team Captain who can mobilize for each theater/screen showing Bella in your market).

3) If each of your Team Captains can recruit 10 others, who will each recruit 30 people to watch the movie that is 300 tickets sold per screen, if this happens, we will make Bella a success!

5. Find Out which Theaters Bella is Playing: go to this site: (www.bellatheaters.com) to find out which theaters and times Bella is playing in your city/region. This way you can identify a “Team Captain” to be in charge of each theater/screen to recruit local churches, campus fellowships, family and friends closest to that specific theater to watch the movie this weekend.

6. Recruit Your Network First: The first step to recruiting is to recruit your immediate network of friends and family to watch the movie. This can be your campus fellowship, local church, networks of influential friends to watch the movie this weekend (Fri-Sun).

� Set up a www.facebook.com events group to invite all your friends to watch the movie this weekend!

7. Recruit Broader Networks Second: The second step to recruiting is to recruit at local churches, campus ministries, youth groups, LIFE groups & any other network that would support Bella (pro-life advocacy organizations). The goal is to mobilize these people to attend the film on Sunday so that there is an increasing in attendance from Friday to Sunday

� Contact the main leader to ask if you can make an announcement to their members or large group meetings or at their services to watch Bella this weekend

� Print out the flyer attached and pass it out to their group @ (www.bellafaith.com)

� Ask the main leader of the org to send an email blast to watch Bella to their database

8. Promote & Rate Bella Online w/ Good Reviews: Remind all those who watch the movie to then go online to the following web sites to give Bella A+ reviews. Ask them to recruit others to do online promotions and ratings. This is critical as the box office will look to the audience reviews to either support Bella or take it out of theaters. Right now, there are many “pro-choice” activists who are purposefully putting up bad reviews to take down Bella, but this will not happen. Bella right now has broken records for all time highest user reviews on Yahoo Movies & Fandango.com

www.bellafaithnews.com

10. Send this Email to As Many People As Possible: Bella needs as much help as it can get. Please ask people to recruit others who are influencers and can market the film to as many people/organizations/movements as possible.
1. Post up good reviews on blogs
2. Post up the web banners, posters, etc on websites
3. Get the word out on social online networks (myspace.com, facebook.com, orkut.com, friendster.com, virb.com, etc)

11. Pray for Bella: More than anything else you can start helping Bella by getting on your knees in prayer. It is through prayer that miracles happen. It will be a miracle that Bella stays in theaters past this weekend and into the Thanksgiving break which is the most crowded time for movie-goers. If it does, there is a good chance the movie will go mainstream nationwide. Pray that Bella gets into 1,000 theaters. Nothing is too hard or impossible for our great God. Pray and obey. Make Bella a success. Why? Because God is using this movie to save the lives of many.

To date, the producers of Bella have had at least 7 stories reported of young women who had actual appointments to abort their children deciding not to have abortions after watching this movie. Those are seven precious lives that God created, many more will be saved because of your sacrifice, hard work, dedication and prayers to make Bella the #1 movie in America, why not? I believe in miracles J

Believing for Bella,

Jaeson Ma

God is calling forth a generation that is passionate for His presence. What does that look like and how can it be accomplished? In The Blueprint, Jaeson Ma offers a powerful vision of what God is radically doing in this generation on campuses across the world. Students are already being set on fire for God, planting missional communities, praying fervently and stepping out in faith to see God move in power to reach the lost. Ma believes it is time to see this manifested on every campus, in every city and in every nation. Through his own personal stories, student testimonies and practical biblical teaching, Ma envisions and practically equips student and staff leaders, just like you, to change themselves and their campuses for Christ. The Blueprint will give you a clear vision for revival and reformation of society, a specific spiritual DNA (passion for prayer, power evangelism and planting simple churches) and practical tools to see the vision for reformation become a reality. That’s the plan. Now to see the revolution unfold!

Take It to the Streets!

We’ve worshipped and prayed inside our churches… Now it’s time to take it out to the streets and stadiums and parks and fields!

“Now go out to the street corners and invite everyone you see.” Matthew 22:9 (NLT)

Launching out the day after TheCall Nashville, we will travel in convoy with hundreds of young adults through Kansas and Arizona to California on a historic 35-day prayer and worship journey.

We’ll set up camp in beautiful fields and worship late into the night, with intercession, drum circles, car painting, jam sessions, and equipping and releasing for the young artists and musicians of this new Renaissance move of God.

At the height of worship, instead of fading out, we’ll head into town and continue the meeting in the street, ministering to whoever shows up!

Our final destination is San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, the park where the 1967 “Summer of Love” began. On Saturday, August 11, we’ll hold a mass outdoor gathering to pray for another Jesus Movement to erupt and bring in an unprecedented harvest.

“Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth…Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them.” (Psalm 96)

A testimony from a team from the International House of Prayer .

Some Highlights:

-Prophetic discovery of our camp. We waited on the Holy Spirit, and He gave each of us different pictures, words, etc. related to the location of our camp. As we forged ahead into the Gathering, we saw most of the words, and He led us right to the spot. This increased our confidence that we were setting up camp exactly where the Lord wanted us.

-It rained steadily the first two days of the trip, during which time we hauled all of our camp “stuff” for 2.5 miles each trip. We were exhausted and came to a place of utter dependence on the Lord. Scriptural motif: circumcision at Gilgal before taking Jerico. I do remember that at one point I was utterly exhausted, and when I went into the prayer tent, the Lord’s presence came and I felt a supernatural strengthening that enabled me to carry several more loads before nightfall.

-We named our camp “Goshen.” As we visited other camps, it seemed to me that the instances and severity of poison ivy were reduced in our camp. It was everywhere, and we all should have had it more severely than we did.

-When we carried the prayer tent into the camp, because of the size of the tent and the distance to the camp, we needed about 6 men to carry it. We carried it on poles on our backs, and it looked like we were carrying the Ark. There were a number of passers-by who asked if we were carrying the Ark. It was a powerful prophetic picture. We found the perfect place for the tent: a little hill that overlooked the camp. The worship - raw, bold, and straight from the heart - was some of the best I’ve ever experienced. The Lord’s delight was on that little prayer tent. In one of our teammates’ terms, we were “soggy sacrifices.”

-One evening, God multiplied food was as we continued to feed an increasing number of people.

-We had many conversations on the Main Trail. The Holy Spirit came on a number of people through simple conversations along the trail. One night, Chuck was walking and asking people why they had come. Many of them began to weep.

-Many of us noticed that the batting average for healings really went up. Many took notice of the number of healings. Some were healed of poison ivy, cuts, and one woman was instantly healed of a knee injury. She began to tremble with the fear of the Lord as He healed her. One man was instantly healed of a toe injury, and another healed of a foot injury.

-One of the most enjoyable evenings was sharing a cross-cultural gospel presentation in a camp called “Pop-corner.” This camp makes popcorn all night, and they invited us to come to their camp and “drum” with them. We used drums and the harp and bowl format to sing a gospel presentation that employed Rainbow terminology and culture. We sang the gospel from the Creation to the Judgment. One person who started to sing along apparently got filled with the Spirit. 2-3 people got saved through this event, and 7-10 received prayer and prophetic ministry. Some were weeping as we prayed and prophesied over them.

-We tried to share the gospel in the Jewish camp, but were asked to leave.

-Many people who visited the camp received healing prayer or prophecy. One demonized man walked into the camp, and the Spirit’s presence was heavy. He said that he didn’t want to leave the camp because it was the only place where he did not feel tormented.

-One morning, the Lord told two in our midst to walk around Jerico seven times. We knew that Jerico meant the place where they would have the main “Om circle” on July 4. When these two arrived at the circle, there were two pagan altars on the island in the river. As they walked, something amazing happened. After two or three laps, they came around the corner, and the first altar had fallen to the ground. No one had touched the altar. As they continued to walk, some kids who were swimming in the river got out of the river and tore down the other altar. Both altars fell down without us touching them. The Lord brought down the walls of Jerico.

-Throughout the two weeks, the Lord had been using Elijah’s encounter with the prophets of Baal to prepare us for a power encounter. On July 4, the Rainbow Family meets in the center of a field, where they hold hands and pray to their pantheon of gods via an “Omm circle.” This year there was no field, so they met at the river. When we got to the river, the Holy Spirit came on one of the leaders from a group from Pennsylvania that had joined our camp, and he said that the Lord wanted us to actually be in the river. The Lord also spoke this independently to the person in the prayer tent. So, we went into the river and formed our own circle within the circle. We were about 25-30. 10-20,000 Rainbows gathered on the banks of the river. They formed a circle and were looking in. In the river, we formed our own circle and were facing outward. We were eye to eye with them. As they began to “Om,” one from our midst blew the shofar 7 times, and another broke his staff on the water. We chanted “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty.” While we did this, some demonized guy who looked like Satan from the passion stood on the bank of the island where the Asherah pole was and began to stare us down. His lips were moving and it seemed as if he were trying to curse us. However, we prayed in the Spirit, and by the end of the encounter, this man had fallen on his face. The spiritual atmosphere in our camp that night was totally changed. It seemed as if there was not a demon for miles.
