July Update

Hello, Fords on a Mission family! We have had an amazing July, and we wanted to share with you some of exciting and powerful things God has done.

Our home has been graced to host Forerunner Fellowship Community Nights, which is a bi-weekly gathering for the purpose of building community, digging into the Word, and praying for each other. The gathering is an off-shoot of the regular Nashville House of Prayer meetings. There have been incredible times of prayer and sincere discourse, as well as opportunities to connect and grow together. We hope to see these meetings continue into the fall. If you are interested in attending. E-mail us at [email protected] for address and times.

We were also pleased to host a team of worship and evangelism missionaries as part of their southeast tour during their stops in Murfreesboro and Nashville. The Burn Wagon, part of Burn 24/7, stayed with us during their three days in the mid-state. They led prayer sets at the Gap House of Prayer and NHOP, and they prayed and evangelized at spots in Nashville. We are grateful to host a team as they invest in prayer here in Middle Tennessee.

July also took Jason to Washington D.C. for the National Day of Prayer Conference and Together 2016, which happened consecutively. While there, Jason connected with many leaders involved in prayer ministry throughout the nation. He even spent some time traveling on the Pray America Tour bus and had the privilege to pray with Franklin Graham\’s prayer coordinator. Jason also led a team of Tennessee intercessors on a prayer walk around the city, stopping at the home of each branch of government (Capitol, Supreme Court, and White House), giving insights we learned from our own time there.

The Together 2016 event was a powerful time focused on uniting the Body of Christ across denominations and cultures. Many tens of thousands gathered in sweltering heat to break down walls between each other and stand together for Jesus. Perhaps the most significant moment of this event for us was when Jason went to the medical tents to pray for individuals affected by the heat. The conditions were serious enough to threaten to steal the impact of the event, but God was still glorified, and no serious harm came to the attendees.

During those days in D.C., Jason also reconnected with the ministries at JHOP, David\’s Tent, and the American Center for Prayer and Revival (a division of Dick Eastman\’s Every Home for Christ), attending prayer and worship sets at each and visiting with the leaders. ACPR has a new prayer room overseen by Wayne and Jenese Garland, friends of ours from David\’s Tent. These three ministries and their leaders are dear to us, and we pray for them regularly.

Jason will finish out July traveling to Atlanta to a strategic intercession training. He has been asked to attend a special round table for regional prayer leaders. He is excited to learn and share with other ministers.

Lastly, we are excited to have our new donations page up and running. Check it out at
