Nick Savoca and I headed up to Virginia and Pennsylvania for a two week ministry trip. It has only been a few days and we have already had an amazing time. It actually started on the plane, when someone ended up in the seat between Nick and I. His name is Ray and we had an amazing conversation. He shared with me about his having a heart attack and how that has affected his life. He currently goes to church and I was able to share with him the calling God has on his life to be a light to his family and those around him. Please keep Ray in prayer.
Our first stop was Harrisburg Virginia, where we met up with Pastor Holder from St. John Memorial Baptist Church. He is one of the main players for the Southern Baptist Convention, and they were having a large event with over 300 pastors in attendance. As you can see by the images, they had setup a very effective Prayer Station area where the pastors came in and out of the main sessions. We were able to connect with many of the pastors, and some of them actually came to the Prayer Station for prayer as well. Prayer Changes Things. Nick was actually asked to close out the event in prayer. What a privilege and opportunity.
We then met drove to Winchester VA to meet with one of our board members, Bill Blatz. It was great to connect with him again, as well as his family.
From there we drove to YWAM Philadelphia, where we are to spend most of our time. We did Prayer Station ministry right in front of City Hall in downtown Philadelphia. Both Nick and I prayed for quite a few people, some of whom need physical healing, and some that needed a real answer from God.
I will continue to post updates as they happen. Tomorrow I am going to be preaching at St. John Memorial Baptist Church, and hopefully in the next couple of days we will be meeting up with Alex Miller, one of the longtime YWAM Staff we had up in New York.
The Prayer Station ministry will be represented at the upcoming Foundation For Freedom Conference, Friday and Saturday, September 6th & 7th, at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando Florida.
Come join us as we connect with people in prayer and for Jesus!

I missed the last Band of Brothers event last month, due to my back surgery. One of the people I connected with at the last event reached out to me afterwards, and I was blessed with their kind and encouraging words.
Here was his message to me:
"The last Band of Brothers event was amazing. So much... where do I start. I missed you very much. I went to the Prayer Station and gave my testimony of when you prayed for me, and a few guys received prayer. I explained of the power and works the Holy Spirit did after I met you there. I prayed for your back with a couple of the guys. The Lord revealed a lot to me including trials that started as I was there at home. Just a lot of demonic attacks but this has just fueled me to push forward and not retreat."
"Kyle Thompson's preaching almost started the next revolutionary war. Lol. He was powerful and I was able to minister to a few people the Lord sent to me and many guys were able to pour into me too."
"How are you feeling by the way? I love you man, and I never forget how the Lord used you mightily in my life."
God is so good. When you are listening to the Holy Spirit, He can bring divine appointments and use you to reach people for Jesus. I was so encouraged by this word, and know the Holy Spirit is doing an amazing work in his life as well.

We just received a call today from a team running a Prayer Station (location undisclosed) that had a miracle testimony to tell us. Their Prayer Station was setup this morning and almost immediately they noticed a man that had come and stood near the Prayer Station but did not engage with anyone. One of the Prayer Station volunteers walked up to the gentleman and asked if he would like some prayer, and he responded with a resounding NO, making it clear to leave him alone. But the man didn't leave.
The volunteer waited a while and came back to ask again if he would like some prayer, and the answer came back again... NO. After several attempts throughout the morning, the man finally started to open up to the volunteer asking what the point of prayer was. The volunteer explained the importance of prayer and mentioned that it seemed the man was very angry. The man agreed and finally was open to have the volunteer pray for him, but would not disclose any prayer requests.
The volunteer prayed for the man, and as he finished, the man said that he had a secret that he wanted to tell him. He said that no one else knew about this secret. The man proceeded to tell the volunteer that he was on his way to kill a man. He realized that he didn't want to do this any longer and suddenly took out a knife and put the knife in the garbage. The volunteer then proceeded to watch a smile open up on the man's face, realizing the decision he had made. He then made the decision to give his life to Christ.
Only God has the power to reach someone's soul and bring real hope. We know that Prayer Changes Things and that we simply need to be willing to hear the Holy Spirit, who can give insight and direction as we pray. This is just one example of how God is changing lives as we make ourselves available to serve Him.

This past weekend we held the largest Band of Brothers event in the country. Over 400 teens and men join with us at Masterpiece Gardens Center in Lake Wales, Florida from Thursday afternoon thru Saturday evening.
We had lots of activities during the free times, including archery, flag football, soccer, dominoes, basketball, volleyball, cornhole, fishing, air boats, full gun range, pig hunt, seaplane rides, skeet & trap shooting, nightly BBQ competition and more!
The focus is the worship time, listening to the live speakers, and watching teaching videos with John Eldredge, Auther of Wild at Heart. Many lives were changed during this last Boot Camp, with over 100 men coming forward to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
We even created a special camouflage PRAYER STATION flag where the men could go to receive prayer.
I encourage you to attend either the upcoming Rally Point, which is a lite version of the full Boot Camp, coming up May 2-5, 2024 or get ready for the next full Boot Camp November 7-10, 2024.
Email me if you are interested in joining me and get ready for one amazing time!

Nick & Ron traveled together to three different locations in Pennsylvania between October 5th and 15th.
PHILADELPHIA, PA: October 6th – 10th
On Saturday, October 6th Nick spoke to approximately 65 participants in a Prayer Station Training Day. The vision of Prayer Stations was shared followed by going out to the streets of Philadelphia for application. One Indian church brought their youth group and became so excited about Prayer Stations they ordered a Prayer Station for their church in Philadelphia and a Flag Prayer Station to be shipped to India!
On Sunday, October 7th, Nick spoke to a church in Philadelphia that was already taking a Prayer Station out each Tuesday and having powerful results.
On Monday, October 8th & Tuesday, October 9th, Nick & Ron had meetings with Key pastors in Philadelphia who were influential among many churches. Each pastor was excited to promote the Prayer Station ministry among their fellowships and are opening exciting new doors of opportunity.
ELIZABETHTOWN, PA: October 11th & 12th
Nick & Ron met with dear friends and partners of our ministry, David & Tierney Able, in Elizabethtown, PA. They were a great encouragement to us both and our ministry!
DUBOIS, PA: October 13th 15th
Nick & Ron spoke at the Mission’s Conference at the Smithtown Community Church in Falls Creek, Pa. This church has been a partner in our ministry since the early 90’s. One fellow missionary at the conference is using Prayer Stations to minister to very poor communities in western Pennsylvania as well as in Nepal. We will be sending a Nepalese Prayer Station flag to assist with his Nepal ministry this coming month.
This trip was filled with divine appointments and great encouragement for our ministry. Thank you, Jesus, for all you are doing to help your Body reach out to the marketplace with the good news of the gospel!
Prayer Stations - Fort Pierce, headed up by Pastor Roger Couture just ministered at Christian FM's 5th annual Back-To-School Family Expo in Port St Lucie, Florida.
Incredible testimonies of all the parents and children we were able to pray for. Kids came to the event not believing in God and after encountering the Holy Spirit, they came into relationship with Jesus Christ for the first time. We were so blessed to be a part of the event!
Prayer Stations recently attended the Youth With A Mission Leaders Conference at the Bonclarken Conference Center in Flat Rock, North Carolina. We had an amazing time of fellowship and educational sessions, led by Renaut van der Riet and Phil Manginelli. We had the opportunity to setup a Prayer Station and a couple of the new Prayer Station Flags for the leaders to check out, and we also had several cases of the new book out by Prayer Station Founder, Nick Savoca.
By the end of the week, we had sold out of the Prayer Stations & Prayer Station Flags we had brought with us, and taken several other orders. We have already received amazing reports & pictures from YWAM Philly, who are using Prayer Stations to get many salvation and re-commitments to Christ.
