At the end of July, Jimbo Hull traveled to Salto, Uruguay and led a three-day module of the College of Prayer. A young pastor from a church plant four hours from Salto met Jimbo for the weekend and did some of the teaching. On Friday evening God's presence came and He "introduced" Himself as Father to the 40 or so gathered. From that introduction people heard His tender voice and received His Fatherly love as He realigned hearts to the way they were created to beat—close to His, knowing and receiving His touch; hearing His whisper. Men embraced each other and women embraced each other as they were channels of the Father's love to each other. There was much weeping as many received physical and emotional attention from the Father. The floor was dotted with puddles of tears. Several said that they had never been hugged by anyone like that in their lives. They didn't grow up in a home where affection was given and where words of affirmation flowed and where blessing was released. During the College of Prayer, the Father touched them, spoke to them, and blessed them in ways and with words they understood. It was beautiful.

In June Jon Mitchell and Joshua Bencomo kicked off a partnership with a denominational district in the southwest. Several churches from the El Paso area gathered for a two-day deeper life conference. There was a tremendous amount of repentance and significant times of prayer and worship. One pastor wrote us and said, “This gathering had an amazing impact at our church. Several people have deleted their social media accounts and this Sunday we had...the best service we’ve ever had. Holy Spirit showed up and took over. Thanks for sharing such eye-opening revelation. [Our church] is committed to being an upper room praying church!”
The spiritual ground of Europe is well known; it is hard and dry. What you may not realize is that God is plowing the ground and readying the church for revival in the middle of a difficult days. God is using the horrific war in Ukraine to sound the alarm in the church.
One of the fastest growing churches in Europe is among the Roma people. We trained three influential Roma pastors in November 2022 via Zoom. Now, our President, Fred Hartley, just returned from Serbia where he trained hundreds more this month, including three of the six primary leaders of the Roma church network in all of Europe. Pray with us that God uses this training to significantly serve the precious Roma church. In November we also trained leaders from the Balkans. We have received reports from Bosnia and Herzegovina that 25% of the body of Christ in their nation are now using our curriculum with effective results. Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Albania are all seeing a dramatic impact of the gospel of Christ building the church in new ways. All glory to Christ! Continue to pray with us for new doors of opportunity to serve the church in every nation in Europe. God is making a way in the wilderness. God is using the College of Prayer to prepare the church in the United States for a great revival. While our growth internationally has been catalytic, we are now significantly gaining ground in more churches, regions, and church networks in our own country. Praise the Lord!
New U.S. campuses have launched already this year including:
Many new churches are accessing our Revival Now Media platform and using our small group videos series. One church recently wrote us telling us they had over 100 participate in The Seven Wounds of Christ series. We are rallying hundreds of pastors to join us for our 2022 iGNITE gathering, September 15–17 in Atlanta. Our theme will be Revival Now! We'd love for you to come. Visit www.2022ignite.com for all of the information. We are currently securing 5-7 strategic and influential churches throughout the nation to host a series of Building a Praying Church conferences in 2022 and 2023. Locations have already been secured in Manhattan, Baltimore, and The Bronx. We are confident that God intends to use the College of Prayer to stir revival in the U.S. Our goal is to plant 100 College of Prayer campuses within the next 2 years. Please pray with us! If you are a visual pray-er, would you consider downloading our world map and praying for the nations we are not yet in? We believe in the next 16 months we will be actively ministering in every nation on earth, but it won't happen without a concerted team of intercessors crying out to God, "Lord, give us the nations!" ![]()
February 8-10 we hosted our annual Ignite Conference through live stream with a limited in-person audience. We had roughly 400 active viewers each night reaching into 22 nations (Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, China, Germany, United Kingdom, Norway, Philippines, Mexico, Kenya, Honduras, Chile, India, Canada, Jamaica, Australia, Colombia, Algeria, and Spain). Our total audience reach was well over 2,500 (those who saw the live stream for some duration). More importantly, many lives were changed as we focused on knowing God as Father and emotional and spiritual wounds were healed. Just recently a seasoned pastor in New York City told us that his life was forever changed in February. He went back with renewed zeal and started 8 upper room prayer gatherings around Manhattan and The Bronx!

In his newest book, Fred Hartley opens up the depths of the name Father—the name God chose for Himself so that He could include ordinary people like you and me in His ever-expanding family. Father is the wading-in point in the ocean of prayer, but it is also the Mariana trench—the deepest point you will ever go in prayer is Father. No matter where you are in your Father journey, Just Say Father will validate your heart and encourage you in your quest. Low self-esteem and superficiality are some of the curses of our age—Father is the cure! This book includes a small group study guide as well as a FREE small group video series!

Thank you for your partnership with us in two weeks of training for Arab World Christians. I have never seen so many victories among so many leaders in my life. All glory to Christ! By the grace of Christ, we trained 153 pastor-leaders from 12 nations who oversee 513 churches and 3,107 house churches who anticipate starting 5,642 upper room prayer gatherings within the next month. But these statistics only tell part of the story.
We are planning to return to this undisclosed area at least two times over the next 12 months to further train these world-changers who will train others and ready the church for the return of Christ. Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for praying. Thank you for giving financially to make this possible. Thank you for standing with us as we mobilize the church to reach the final unreached people on earth.
