Church leaders often respond to difficult seasons by changing strategy when we should be changing the spiritual atmosphere through prayer.

PRAYER IS POWERFUL! Even science confirms what Christians already know! A new study from the University of Maryland School of Medicine proves that just 5 minutes of intercessory prayer helps to relieve physical pain and treat anxiety.

Researchers point to positive effects from in-person prayers... "petitioning God in the name of Jesus by power of the Holy Spirit, commanding healing by Jesus's authority, while an intercessor gently lays hands on the recipient for approximately 5 minutes."

A new study from the University of Maryland School of Medicine is confirming the power of prayer, concluding that just 5

The early church had no buildings, no political power, no technology, and no cultural influence, yet they turned the world upside down because the fire of God rested upon them!

The men and women who sustained powerful outpourings share a common thread: they were undone before God arrived, and they stayed undone after He did.

Stewarding Revival

Many people ask, "How do we experience revival?" But perhaps the more important question is this:

How do we steward revival when it comes?

History teaches us that revival is more than a powerful service, a crowded altar, or an unusual move of the Holy Spirit. Revival is a sacred trust from God that must be carefully guarded and faithfully managed.

Leaders who experienced prolonged seasons of awakening, from the Welsh Revival to Brownsville and Toronto, learned several important lessons:

• Keep Jesus at the center. Revival is about Him, not personalities or ministries.

• Protect prayer. The prayer meetings that birthed revival must not disappear once revival begins.

• Pursue holiness. Genuine revival produces repentance, obedience, and transformed lives.

• Measure fruit, not excitement. The true evidence of revival is changed hearts, restored families, disciples made, and souls saved.

• Stay humble. Pride has ended more revivals than opposition.

• Build disciples, not spectators. Revival was never meant to create an audience. It was meant to create followers of Jesus.

• Send the fire outward. Every true awakening ultimately fuels mission, evangelism, church planting, and kingdom impact.

Revival is not merely a visitation from God. It is an invitation to partner with Him.

As we pray for a fresh move of God across New England and America, let us prepare our hearts not only to receive revival, but to steward it well.

"To whom much is given, much is required." (Luke 12:48, NLT)

AMAZING

95 year old pastor leads church #95 in America Prays 250!

We are thrilled to announce that Calvary Church in Manchester, Connecticut, founded by Ken and Lois Gustafson, has become Church #95 registered for America Prays 250!

This registration is especially meaningful because on June 12th, Ken will celebrate his 95th birthday. Even more remarkable, Ken and Lois will celebrate 72 years of marriage that SAME day.

Shortly after their wedding, Ken and Lois planted Calvary Church in Manchester and began a lifetime of faithful ministry in the region. That means they have now served the Manchester area for 72 years, touching countless lives through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
What a fitting tribute that Church #95 is represented by a pastor who is turning 95, and whose life reflects decades of faithfulness, perseverance, and service to the Kingdom of God.

As America approaches its 250th birthday, we honor pioneers like Ken and Lois Gustafson whose prayers, sacrifice, and commitment have helped shape the spiritual landscape of New England.
Thank you, Ken and Lois, for 72 years of faithful ministry.
