"Last night was a great and moving night in the city of Nijkerk, Holland, where in 1749 a powerful revival broke out, but had died down in 1752 because the church leaders and the government leaders chose human control above the moving of the Holy Spirit.
We had chosen to have the concert with the Jesus Culture worship band in that city. We had Jesus Culture before in Amsterdam, where we could handle far more people, and some 5000 came. Now we had chosen Nijkerk where the biggest facility could only have 3000 people.
Evangelist Mattheus van der Steen opened the evening and shared what we would do after the concert. What moved me about Jesus Culture was that their songs were very worshipful and also expressed a deep longing, desire and hunger for God. For the people it was an evening of worship. The participation was tremendous.
Then one of our leaders shared the story of the revival and how it was stopped. Some 40, many leading pastors, were with us on the platform. Then Mattheus and myself (Mattheus is 39, I am 70) knelt down, holding hands, and Mattheus confessed the sin of human control and human wisdom which was chosen above the Holy Spirit and His working and how the leaders of that time had grieved the Holy Spirit. A holy hush came over the gathering. Something happened in the Spirit. I then prayed, confessing and proclaiming forgiveness, and voicing how the blockage against the Holy Spirit had been removed. I continued praying and proclaiming that before Jesus will return God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, which includes Holland and that specially young people would be full of the Holy Spirit and it would be happening already in this crowd. The praise was almost deafening. There was great, great rejoicing. Something was happening in the Spirit!
It was an awesome evening, an historic evening! We expect great things this year and there are stirrings of the Spirit everywhere already."

Praise God for this wonderful report! Let's pray for these 3000 youth to become His carriers of revival and that Holland and the rest of Europe will be deeply affected by their lives and service for Christ.
Monday, 31 August - Friday, 4 September 2015
Over recent years trumpets have been blown in many parts of our Continent as an act of obedience to the Lord. In the UK it started in Birmingham in response to the reading of the scriptures in Numbers 10: 9 which says, "When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy that is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies." From that and other scriptures we see that the sounding of trumpets were for gathering the people, moving the people, calling the people to war and celebrating the feasts and all that God had done.
As many of you know our brother Werner Woiwode from Switzerland, has not only blown the trumpet across Europe but in many other places around the world. In June 2014, we gathered in Macedonia and the Trumpet Call there encouraged our brothers and sisters across the Balkan nations and southern Europe.
Following recent Skype calls and a gathering of prayer leaders in Brussels, we believe it is right to go to Timisoara, Romania and blow the trumpet for the whole of our Continent. This invitation is to you, your church, your prayer ministry, your mission agency to come and join us in sounding the trumpet again over the Continent of Europe.
Our friends at The Christian Centre Timisoara/Agape Church have kindly made the church available for the week. We shall gather from 31 August early evening through to 4 September where for four days we shall have continuous prayer, worship, reading of scripture and declaration of the truth of God's word and the frequent sounding of the trumpets.
There is accommodation nearby where you can stay. The Julius shopping Mall is very near the church with restaurants and coffee shops. There will be a charge of 10 Euros per person to go towards Trumpet Call Timisoara expenses. There will be full details and booking facilities on a Trumpet Call website soon but we were keen for you to get these dates in your diary.
To help in your planning suggest you visit the web site of the International Airport of Timisoara at http://www.aerotim.ro/index.php?lang=en from here it is only a short ride to the Christian Centre. For more information, please contact Ioan Peia at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
We would appreciate your help in making this known across your networks; we would love to see as many Nations represented as possible. This will be an unique time since friends from the Ends of the World will join us to welcome the King of Glory in our continent.
May God continue to bless you in all He does through you

Please pray for the organizers and that the right people will be called to come from across Europe and other nations. May this event be anointed and mightily used of the Lord to bring about a new atmosphere for His Church and for this crucially important continent that needs so much to see a new era of spiritual revival and social transformation!
“In a letter dated May 18, 2011, inviting the 49 other Governors to join him, Governor Rick Perry cited Joel 2 as the answer for the challenges facing America. We are to gather across racial, ethnic, denominational and other differences to represent the full Body of Christ on behalf of our land. A National Solemn Assembly called The Response: A Call to Prayer for a Nation in Crisis, will be held on Saturday, August 6, 2011, in Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. There will be no political agenda, no merchandise sold, no ministries promoted, no literature distributed and no offering taken. Registration is free. This event will not promote any denomination or organization. It will simply be a gathering of those who love God and love America in response to this invitation to join together and ask for His mercy, guidance, wisdom and provision. The website, www.theresponseusa.com, will give you critical information and help you see how this moment is building across the USA and among national church leaders.”
Please pray for the USA at this crucial time in the nation’s history and for the success of this wonderful attempt to bring Christ’s people together with many political leaders to pray for God’s deliverance of the nation.
A number of events, mandalas and initiations all based on the Kalachakra Tantra (Time God) Intended to alter the age of the world. (out of the Christian age into Aquarius and the rule of the Chakravartin)
Agree with those on site in the USA who are mobilizing prayer and also involved in covering prayer for this event which involves welcoming occult spiritual forces into the American capital. One prayer team will be on site in Washington DC from July 1-9 and another team on two weekends: Jul 8-9, and 15-16. A core team plans to meet for prayer every Monday till the 4th of July.
One of them writes: “I am asking for His covering because the forces that are involved in this event are very powerful. I know the Lord has equipped us, but I need to know that we are safe in Jesus. We aren't trying to take on mighty powers here, we are beseeching the Lord, like Hezekiah did in Isaiah 37:14- 20, to not leave our land unguarded. It is God who is sending us to our capital for His purposes there. We go to seek Him, to listen to Him, to love and glorify Him.”
Thanks for your intercession!

August 1-30, 2011, will be the dates of the international prayer focus for the Muslim World. With humble beginnings, a small group of Christian leaders met for prayer for the Islamic world during a meeting in the Middle East in April, 1992. Millions of Christians worldwide have since joined the prayer effort. The 52-page prayer guide found at www.30-days.net is produced in 42 languages each Ramadan and sent to more than 32 regional offices not to be comprehensive but to motivate and inspire the reader to prayer. It contains information, statistics, stories, and photos. This August, the prayer event will coincide with the month of Ramadan in part to remind us to pray when we hear about this in the media. As Muslims fast and pray, Christians do the same. Christians are encouraged to befriend their Muslim neighbors. The purposes of the 30 Days of prayer for the Muslim world specifically are:
• For greater breakthrough for the Gospel among Muslims
• An increased commitment to prayer by Christians
• And for more missionaries to be released to work among Muslims
There are many testimonies of Muslims coming to faith with some seeing Jesus in visions. Som Muslims have come to respect the 30 Days of Prayer network’s motto “Loving Muslims Through Prayer” while others have threatened their efforts. Please join in prayer during this time.
As usual, nearly 2,000 children will gather to prayer for the Nations and the coordinators of Children House of Prayer from different cities and nations will also be joining us. Our focus this year will be on training Spiritual Parents. Many countries are desirous to start a Children House of Prayer. We started Saturday night LIVE prayer for Global Day of Prayer in May, 2010. This has been going on continuously for the past 64 weeks. Every Saturday night, children pray and worship from 8-12 p.m. Hundreds of people from all over the world watch and call in to receive prayer from the children. We are able to see the Fire of Revival starting from India pour out to the nations. More than 100 delegates will be attending ICIC from different nations. Many leaders of CHILDREN HOUSE OF PRAYER will be participating. Donna from Canada and John Robb from International Prayer Council will bring the Fire of Love to our Indian children. Please pray that thousands of orphans will receive the Father’s Love.
We need your prayers to raise up 20,000 children intercessors this year.
Blessings,
Pr. Anton and Royalkids
The 10:10 Campaign now draws to a close, after two years of prayer, awareness raising, building working relationships and initiating action. The first year saw hundreds of people in the UK and the other countries praying for children accused of being ‘witches’, and praying for all levels of society to take action to put an end to these accusations and abuses. For many people, this was their first insight into the tragic scenario, present throughout the world, of children being called ‘witches’. The first year of the 10:10 Campaign had a significant impact in bringing the issue out into the open, encouraging people to acknowledge the problem, talk about it, and pray for an end to it. Another key result was the emergence of the RILPES network, with a determination from founding members to join forces in tackling the problem in DR Congo. Whilst continuing to pray, the second year moved more specifically into advocacy and action.
The 10:10 Petition enabled us to stand with RILPES in DR Congo, as they presented requests for action to their government—urging a national commitment to safeguarding children. 1,300 signatures were presented at a Public Forum in February, 2011. This was attended by representatives from government, large NGOs and small community organizations, church, local authority, the legal profession, and the media. RILPES is now following up on all the expressions of commitment and suggestions for action made at the Public Forum, and planning the most effective methods for ongoing action in the DR Congo. Action on behalf of children accused of so-called ‘witchcraft’ in Nigeria has continued, and those at the frontline of this work have been encouraged by the sense of support brought about by 10:10. In the UK, a number of church networks have introduced awareness of ‘child witch’ accusations into their child protection training and policies.
So, in summary, the two-year 10:10 Campaign has resulted in prayer, awareness, open discussion, networks and working, relationships, advocacy and the first steps of practical action to change attitudes, laws and procedures concerning the safety and well-being of children. Thank you for all that you have done thus far to help make children less vulnerable to accusation and abuse. But the story doesn’t end there…
