KAIROS

As I sit here in the prayer room I see 8 year olds crying out to God for His healing power for one another, couples with hands clasped praying scripture over their city, teens pleading night and day for their generation; a mighty voice rises up from Luke 18, "And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"...... Will the Son of Man find faith on the earth when he comes?
If he came today would he find faith in you? Would he find you today, right now loving Him with all your heart soul mind, and strength and loving others as yourself? The question has been posed.... Will the Son of Man find faith on the earth when he comes? Our answer to that question will shape our lives and the landscape of this next generation!

Hope rises up in me as I type: We were created for such a time as this!

Our hearts go out to all those around the world who love Lindsey and I, support us, and fervently pray for us daily! We are doing well and as most of you have already heard Lindsey and I are going to have a baby!!!!!!!! God always graces us with gifts that we do not expect and this baby is undoubtedly one of those gifts! Lindsey has been terribly sick ( morning sickness is for the weak :) Lindsey gets day sickness....) she was in the prayer room the other day and had to rush over to the bathroom to throw up and I watched outside as a mass exodus of woman came rushing out of the bathroom-funny but sad. So if your prayers could rise up with ours for the protection of the baby as God knits him....or her in Lindsey's womb and since we are only 6 weeks into it that any and all complications will be cast down. Also pray for Lindsey as she is getting orientated to the new revelation and as her body starts to transition into pregnancy.
The month of restoration that Lindsey and I took to soak in His presence before we start here at the International House of Prayer is almost over and we start the intensive on the 28th of September. Pray that God has already gone before us and is preparing our way and assigning divine moments for us as we dig into his presence and learn the inner workings of the facility!

We love you all and please post how you are doing below! From now on we will try to post every Monday so we have some consistency!
With all of our hearts
Mat, Lindsey (and Baby) Lujan

Oh and check out this amazing ministry out of IHOP-KC called Crisis Response International-CRI

Love you all!


We are sitting here in the Kansas City airport waiting to fly to Colorado and my mind blurs with all that has happened in the past week. It still seems unreal that we are in Kansas City! We arrived to our apartment late Saturday night exhausted and weary of our 12 hour drive. We woke the next day unpacked and then went to church at IHOP! The minute we entered the door we felt at home and as our spirits were uplifted by Misty Edwards our hearts turned to Fusion and Georgia as the speaker ( a fiery Chinese pastor) talked about the next generation and encouraging us that there are only 4% who believe in our generation but we have the keys in our hands and a victorious God! Though we are miles away from each other we still all serve the same faithful God! As the week progressed we have spent hours in the prayer room, God reminding us over and over how much he loves us! We finally unpacked the last box on Wednesday (Mat was a little slow in unpacking :) ) and started to prepare ourselves for the season head! We would appreciate if you all could keep our health in your prayers ( Mat is still sick), as well as praying the rest and restoration of God over our time here at IHOP! WELOVE YOU ALL and will write again soon. We will be in Colorado for a week and a half visiting Mat's family so we will be posting after that! (We posted a pic of our apartment above and the prayer room below.)

Hey all just wanted to give you info on What we are doing!


Intro to IHOP–KC Internship

 
Intro to IHOP–KC is a three-month internship targeting those who intend to join staff at IHOP–KC or who seek to be equipped for leadership at their local house of prayer. Intro is one of four staff-entry programs: Intro, Onething, Fire in The Night and Simeon Company. Intro to IHOP–KC is also open to those considering the possibility of joining staff but who are still in the decision-making process.
 
Our goal is to equip the intercessor for long-term success in a lifestyle of prayer and fasting. The program includes training in IHOP–KC’s worship and prayer model, personal support-raising, the core values of intimacy, eschatology and intercession, the forerunner ministry, healing and prophecy.

We will be starting the last week in September!  Check out the link to the side for all the details of the program!

Keep a look out as we post what we are up to and more details that will be coming next week!

We love you all dearly!
