Virginia Tech and massive prayer


This sign from students at Auburn University that was sent to VT says it all. The response of prayer and messages of love and compassion for the students and families at Virginia Tech have been astounding. Almost 3000 students signed up on the Facebook Call to Prayer group in just 2 days. Hundreds of messages have come in to our campuscrusadeforchrist.com website. I've seen responses from Delhi, Venezuala, Taiwan, South Korea, and Africa, as well as university Christian groups and local churches all over America. They speak of praying for comfort, healing and revival.

I really don't understand why lots of prayer makes a difference in some situations. God can move in power throught the prayers of one person. But it seems that when God's people join in prayer, repenting and worshipping and intercession, that God creates spiritual breakthroughs in the darkness of our world. I think this is going to happen, and already is happening right now due to the countless prayers of His people, scattered around the globe but unified in the cry of their heart for Him to work, to heal, to save.
