P.R.A.Y. With Passion Conference. I just have to tell you what a blessing your presentation was at Hill Country Fellowship in May. Praying using the list of God's attributes and the P.R.A.Y. method has been a real breakthrough for me. I have always been a worshiper, but since my husbands going to be with the Lord in June, 2008, I just couldn't seem to regain my feeling of intimacy with the Lord; I just felt sort of empty. Praying God's attributes has blessed me so and restored so much of the intimacy. I've even expanded on it some. I read the Scriptures aloud and then pray the Scripture in praise. I then go through the repent and ask and for yielding I generally pray in the Spirit. It is awesome. I usually know I've hit the heart of the attribute when I'm in genuine tears by the end of the praise or repenting. It has filled me with so much appreciation of God's very precious and special attributes. "Thank you for coming to CCC in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. I have been praying for you and wish you the best in your future engagements. You are a precious gem, and I praise God for how He spoke through you. I felt like He introduced me to a sister who gets me and life. Truly, Deeply, Thank you. May God bless you and keep you on this journey. Praise Jesus, who's Word does not return void! Love Patty, Williams Bay, Wisconsin"

Churches Unite For those wanting to be a part, follow Debbie on her blog as she visits different churches. Be A Part Debbie is seeking prayer warriors as she takes P.R.A.Y. With Passion Across the Nation. Be on her prayer team. Overview Let me share with you an overview of the amazing way God is working. As you do, consider how He's calling you to be a part of P.R.A.Y. With Passion Across the Nation. April 2 God woke me at 4 a.m. and placed on my heart that I wasn't doing what He'd called me to do: take the principles He'd given me for my book, Pray With Purpose Live With Passion, to the churches in our nation. I hurriedly rose from my bed, went to my study, and started to kneel to pray as I do every morning. Instead, God impressed on my heart, "Get up, Debbie, and write down everything I tell you." I went to my computer and began recording all He placed on my heart. Bottom line, God's called me to begin a new branch of my ministry called P.R.A.Y. With Passion Across the Nation. I'm to take the prayer tools He's given me to every state in the US; 26 states by 2010. And, I'm not to charge my speaking fee or travel expenses. "Freely given. Freely give," is what God put on my heart for this branch of my ministry. In effect, my ministry now has a ministry. I have no idea how God's going to fund it. But the more important issue is: God told me to go, so I'm going. Later that morning I called an emergency meeting of my board and prayer team. After prayer and discussing what God placed on my heart, they agreed my ministry was to do this. Also, that morning I asked God to confirm this was His will by having a church in another state contact me to bring P.R.A.Y. With Passion Across the Nation to their church. (I had briefly shared the vision for P.R.A.Y. With Passion Across the Nation on my April 2 blog.) God not only had a lady from Georgia contact me, but also one from Florida the same day. Now I'm off to do what God's told me to do. Within two weeks I'm already booked to take the principles and tools God's given me to five states and I have inquiries from five other states. It's been a miracle to watch God open so many doors this quickly, especially since I've not yet done anything to promote it. This is a work of God and it's been a joy to watch Him work! In addition to the message in my book Pray With Purpose, Live With Passion, God's continued to impress on my heart, "for such a time as this." I can't tell you how many times a day He reminds me of the urgency to do this. When I've questioned, "Why so many states so fast?" His response has been, "You don't need to know that. I've told you to go, so "Go." I don't know what's ahead for our nation. However, I know God's calling us to be equipped to pray, to know how to call on His name, to know who He is so our prayers are directed according to His glorious nature! Would you be a part? I would love to come and serve you. There is no charge. I ask only that you and your team join my ministry in prayer for our time together. Let me know how God is calling you to be a part of this exciting work: be a host church, pray, donate toward expenses, or any other way. Email me at debbie@hillcountryministries.org or call toll free 888-815-9412 or 830-377-2704. Dear Ministry Team, You can't imagine how excited I am to partner in prayer with you for your upcoming event! Before any major movement of the Holy Spirit in Scripture or our world, prayer has preceded it. (Acts 1:14) Your retreat is an opportunity for God to speak to hearts and impact lives. Thank you for your prayers for me and for the event. In His Love, Debbie "The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth," Psalm 145:18Prayers for My Preparation & Delivery Christ's righteousness permeates every area of my heart, mind, body, and soul so that I am a pure vessel through whom God can speak. (1 Peter 1:15) God open my eyes to behold all the wonderful things from His Word that He wants me to bring to you. (Psalm 119:18) I speak not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. (1 Corinthians 2:13) God anoint my preparation and delivery so that my message is a "demonstration of the Spirit and of power," (1 Corinthians 2:4) God be glorified! (John 15:8) Travel safety Prayer for the Planning Team and Attendees Christ's joy, love, unity, and direction permeate each plan and the event. (John 15:7-11, Ps. 32:8, Eph. 6:10-13) Christians make the most of every opportunity to invite both the saved (Hebrews 10:23-25) and unsaved. (Luke 19:10) God use the event to fashion hearts (Psalm 33:13-15), conform minds to His, and transform lives. (Romans 12:1-2) The Lord be praised and His name exalted! (Psalm 34:4) Those bound in sin repent and experience God's deliverance. (Psalm 32:5-7) Everyone be aware they are in the presence of the great Lord and there is none like Him. Awe fill each heart at our great God and His Word. (Jeremiah 10:6, Psalm 33:8) Participants learn new ways to pray according To God's divine nature. Each leave the event carrying the fragrance of Christ home with them (2 Cor. 2:15), yielded to God, encouraged, equipped, and inspired to live more passionately and purposefully for Him. (Hebrews 10:24) Childcare and financial provisions for all. (Phil 4:19) Prayer for Unsaved Participants Unsaved friends and neighbors attend and see the great Light of Christ and be saved! (Is. 9:2) Prayer Calendar Download PDF Dear Friends, I know you're praying and that is the number ONE activity that must take place. Ministry events, while accomplished on earth, are actually spiritual events. All of heaven is interested in what you're doing! The angels are waiting to see if one soul comes to salvation, at which time there will be great rejoicing! (Luke 15:10) As you are working hard, I am prayerfully going before the Lord and seeking His face, heart, and words about the message I am bringing to you! Everyone is hard at work! One area that sometimes doesn't get as much attention as is needed is promoting the event. People in marketing tell us it takes at least 5-7 times for a person to see or hear about something before it registers and they take action on it. Therefore, following prayer, promoting your event in a variety of forms and numerous times is the single most important thing you can do. Besides prayer, this is what affects if your event is well attended. Following are a variety of ways to promote your event. (Remember it takes 5-7 times for someone to see or hear about it before they will act on it.) Pray that God will bring someone to chair this important committee and then watch God work!

First, they can cancel the event at which time they will be responsible for any and all expenses incurred by Hill County Ministries in preparation of the event. This includes the actual cost of airline tickets and all cancellation fees associated with rebooking, hotel reservations, and expenses incurred in shipping books to and from the event.

We appreciate you understanding Hill Country Ministries cannot absorb those costs. Second, the host church can continue to host the event but it will be treated as a paid speaking engagement.
