CFOT P&PN Overnighter Recap

So, the CFOT P&PN Overnighter was awesome!  We missed our friends from MYGA dearly, and others that were unable to make it out.  But, we still enjoyed a great night of worship, teaching and fellowship.

We enjoyed some awesome testimonies from a whole mess of Corps on their I’ll Fight Day experiences.  We were able to hear how God moved in our communities, and it was blessing to hear how caught off guard people were when Christians decided to show God’s love through random acts of kindness.  Remember, just as Ephesians 5:1 tells us, we are to “imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.  Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.”

We were also challenged to think about John 4, and the woman at the well.  Remember, the interesting thing in this story is that the woman, who had had 5 husbands and was living with a man who wasn’t her husband, didn’t have to confess her sin to Jesus.  He did that for her.  It was then up to her to confront and deal with her sin honestly and openly with Jesus.  Once we are able to do that with ourselves, we can truly allow God to change our lives.

“Coming and going” seemed to be a theme that night, as we welcomed back Nate Hood from the US Military (who also played a duet with Jonathan Taube – a great rendition of “This Little Light Of Mine” infused with Z.Z. Top’s “La Grange”.)  We also said “good-bye” to a faithful few – Dietrich Hunter who will be attending Indiana Wesleyan  University, and Audrey Hickman who will be studying abroad this semester.

Photos from the night – including Fight Night – will be up soon!  So stay tuned!  Blessings!

Chicago Temple Prayer & Praise Night


The Chicago Temple Prayer & Praise Night was a great night of worship, prayer, challenge and commitment. For those of you who were not able to go, go to our media page and check out the photos. Remember to pray for those who testified and keep up the commitments you made at the altar. Remember, although it may be hard, giving glory to God means that we do His will, not ours. It’s about the Father, not us! And good news, God will give us grace to follow Him and do His will.

Book the date now! October 31, 2008 is the Des Plaines/Halloween Prayer & Praise Night NEW LIFE! This is definitely an event that you will not want to miss, and you will want to bring your (unsaved!) friends too. And, as announced, come in your costume! It is not only hoped, but encouraged! And, if you don’t have any ideas, just take and every day things/people, and come as the zombie version of that. For instance, don’t come as a normal math teacher. Come as a zombie math teacher. Or, don’t come as Hannah Montana. Come as zombie Hannah Montana. Keep checking back to MYN.com for more updates about this exciting night.

Prayer & Praise Night Kick Off!


It’s time to kick-off the 2008-2009 Prayer & Praise Nights! The Chicago Temple Corps has agreed to host the historic first Prayer & Praise Night. Mark my words, it will go down in the annals of history.

Something you should know: we’ve decided to have a theme for this year. It’s nothing too big, just something to piece them together. We’re going with “Glory to God.” Why? Because we believe that it’s not about us, it’s about the Father. Because, above all, Jesus lived to give Glory to the Father, and as his disciples, we want to do that too.

So, come out for the kick-off, but, more importantly, come out for a night of prayer, worship, fellowship, and growth.

Be sure to bring:
-Your Bibles
-Your friends
-Your friends’ friends
-A focused attitude of worship

Also, while parking may not be extremely limited, it’s always a good idea to carpool.

See you there? Prove it! RSVP via our Facebook event.

East Chicago Prayer & Praise Night NEW LIFE! Photodoc


On Friday, March 28, 2008 the East Chicago Corps hosted the third ever Prayer & Praise Night NEW LIFE! The meeting was completely led by the Holy Spirit because of the obedience to those involved. Praise God! We had a great time of worship, were given an opportunity to sign a letter to the President of China regarding Darfur, heard what God is doing in our lives and heard a blessed word from Judges 1:1-2.

Just to remind you, this is what you all testified to:

One girl is now working with the refugee family through World Vision.

Another testified how she changed her major so that she can be a missionary. She adjusted her life to join God’s work.

One guy testified about how he has the opportunity to go to Zimbabwe, where God is already working.

Another about how she is being attacked because she knows she is doing God’s will.

Do you see the common thread? We are called to do God’s will and to join Him where He is working. Where is God working around you? Look and listen for Him and join Him!

Don’t forget to check out the photodoc.
