Cleansing Rain

This week it rained for the first time in about 6 months. It was such a refreshing cleansing rain. The dirt visibly washed down the streets and muddy water pooled in the streets as the typical flooding made streets into rivers. As the sun came out after the storm everything seemed brighter, cleaner, fresher. The mountains immediately seemed greener, perhaps bigger.

That evening the group from Stillwater EV Free Church in Minnesota and members of Iglesia Biblica La Gracia went to a lookout in the center of the city to pray for Mexico and Monterrey. After a time of enjoying the view of a city surrounded by mountains left freshly washed by their Creator and as the sun set behind us we gathered together to pray for the renewal and revival of a city and country that is deeply hurting. What a humbling experience to join together with people of various of various churches from two countries who speak different languages to cry out to the Almighty God for His hand to move in Monterrey and Mexico. God is not finished here yet. Please join me in praying for a cleansing rain and revival to fall on this city and country.
