Thinking back to the beginning of 2009, I would have never guessed I would be where I am now. When we started the year, we were uniting youth groups for monthly Dwell meetings and occasionally Burns. Now we have the growing Boiler Room community moving towards day and night worship and prayer.
I get the sense that 2010 will contain the same kind of discoveries and new beginnings from the God who does “exceedingly abundantly more than we could ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).

I will say this: I have a deeper resolve in my spirit than ever that God has called us to unite students towards day and night prayer for revival. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is going forth across the world, and 6:22’s primary role is to fuel Jesus’ missional church with “undignified” worship and radical prayer/fasting for the glory of God in our city and the earth.

Lives are being changed. We have seen clearly some of that fruit. In the Boiler Room students are being set free from fear, and accepting God’s calling for their life—some to foreign nations, others to reach out on their campuses. Some tell stories of how their youth groups or churches are being stirred in deeper worship by our songs or by those who have “caught” the fire of worshiping Jesus freely at 6:22 and returned to their church/campus to influence their friends.  If you have yet to visit the Boiler Room on a Friday night to experience this, please try to come out and see for yourself!

I also have faith that there is much fruit that is not seen until after the seeds are given time. Some of the impact of our prayers will probably never be known. Yet we know that when we humble ourselves to pray, God hears and heals our land (2 Chronicles 7:14).

I will be honest: we need your help. We need your prayers. We need more manpower. And we need money. Please sow a seed into what God is doing here. I have good reason to believe that 6:22 is fertile spiritual ground to sow into.

If you remember, the reason we have the Boiler Room is because God spoke to a willing servant who was obedient to give extravagantly in faith to cover the rent. I want you to know that the man who is giving us $1000 a month to cover our rent has a business that, in the midst of an economic recession,  has been consistently growing in profits each quarter since he started giving to the Boiler Room. God loves to give to those who He can trust to be obedient with what He gives them. This man is also being encountered by God in an increasingly supernatural way with receiving dreams at night, visions and prophetic words from the Lord. This is a man who has a church background in a “traditional” denomination where these things are very uncommon.

Will you please consider making an end of the year gift? Please seek the Lord and give as He leads. Send checks to 6:22 Ministries, PO Box 1786, Greenville, NC 27835 or give online (credit card or checking account) here on our donate page.

There's so much going on with 6:22... here's an update for you.

As most of you know, 6:22 now has a physical home called the Boiler Room in Uptown Greenville. We had our official grand opening last Thursday, July 2nd - a worship night with 6:22 and the Glorious Unseen. The place was packed and God's presence was strong. Many were crying or on their knees praying. It was HOT, but everyone's perseverance to keep worshiping in the heat was inspiring. Hopefully some photos or videos will surface soon.
Along with our Monday night Bible studies, the space is being used for a 6:22 office, a space for 6:22 band member Ray to teach guitar lessons and a space for Harmony Church's summer prayer gatherings. Next week it will be used as a recording studio for Matthew Lilley, and after Worshipfest it will host weekly 6:22 Friday night worship gatherings! Our hope is that this place will be filled with worship and prayer day & night.

We are working on a Boiler Room web site that will eventually be at greenvilleboileroom.com. In the meantime, if you want some more details on the history and vision for the Boiler Room, please read the following document: http://www.622ministries.org/boilerroom.pdf

Along with the awesome privilege of having our own space, we have added responsibility, most notably financially. Although the first year's rent has been covered, we now have to think about utility bills and toilet paper! Please consider becoming a monthly 6:22 partner to help us cover the costs. Even a small monthly committment helps us tremendously!

Along with ongoing costs, we have two major one-time needs that we want to have before we start Friday night meetings on August 14:

HVAC system. As we discovered Thursday night, window AC units just won't cut it when we have a large crowd (we had four window units going full blast all day). We need central heat/air, which will cost around $6000-7000, and our landlord will not cover these costs. There is a chance for us to get a system donated, so PLEASE PRAY!
PA System. Despite what many people think, 6:22 does not have its own sound system. We have had amazing people like John Lance or Youthquake who have let us borrow their systems for previous events. We do have microphones, but we need everything else - speakers, amps, sound board, snake, FX. We have a potential sound board that we can borrow temporarily, but we really need to get some speakers for the space. Please pray or consider making a one-time gift to 6:22.

For the first time 6:22 is taking the summer to host a weekly Bible study on Monday nights. Since May we have been learning about King David's tent by studying one of 6:22's Core Values each week (a list of values can be found on the purpose page of our web site). We will be meeting every Monday night through August 3. We gather to eat a pot-luck meal together at 6pm, then have a time of prayer and Bible study. We are usually done around 8-8:30. We are meeting at the Boiler Room (220 E. 5th St, Uptown Greenville). Please come join us any time!

Do you have the latest 6:22 album? A New Day Is Rising features eight original worship songs for only $10! Songs like Chosen Generation, Take Over Me, Relentless, Red Moon Rising, Everything, I Delight In You, A New Day Is Rising and Make Us Whole Again.
