24/7 Prayer Tower Planned for DearbornDearborn Michigan has the unique title of “the little Gaza.” Here within the state of Michigan we have the largest settlement of Muslims this side of the Middle East. Because of the thousands of Muslims from Iraq and the Middle East that have settled within Michigan, there is an increasing potential for a great Islamic uprising in this region. In the City of Hamtramck, Michigan, just east of Dearborn, two years ago the call to Muslim prayer was passed by voters. Hamtramck now has the distinction of being the first city within the United States that has permitted the Islamic call to prayer. Five times a day through loud speakers from Islamic Mosques, prayers to Allah are being released into the airways of our state. These prayers to Allah are impacting the atmosphere and the anti-Christ spirit and mindset is being tolerated. It is even being embraced by the people of our nation, while our Christian rights and heritage are being challenged in the courts and our rights are slowly being taken from us. Our response as the church can not be to stand by apathetically and allow the Islamic agenda to advance. Recently, Lou Engle, The founder of the “The Call” and a powerful intercessor who has given his life to prayer and raising up the youth of our Nation to stand in 24/7 prayer visited Dearborn in April of 2007. As Lou walked the facility of Mt Olivet in Dearborn and climbed its prayer tower he felt a great witness within his heart that there must be a house of Prayer in Dearborn that will contend with the house of Islam! Intercession for the Muslim community is the mandate for the church now that must be taken seriously! We believe that this is one of the most important issues of our time not only for our state but for the Nation. We have the opportunity to help develop and support a 24/7 house of prayer in Dearborn at the Mt. Olivet building. We are presently standing behind and supporting home missionaries, Trey and Becky Hancock who have been working among the Muslims for over 20 years. Trey and Becky have a heart not only to reach out to the community, but also have the Mt Olivet facility going day and night with youth and seasoned intercessors that are willing to keeping this prayer furnace burning 24 hours a day. In 2007 we were told that the Islamic leaders in Michigan have a goal to make Michigan the first Muslim state in America by the year 2015. We can not wait to make a stand against this in 2014; but must be vigilant and begin NOW raising up the standard in prayer seeking the LORD for the right strategies. Our desire is to reach this people group with the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Love of the Father, and the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. Setting up 24/7 prayer will be and is the first strategy in reaching this city. Our prayers will open doors to the hearts and minds of men and women that have been resistant and shut to the gospel. Our fervent prayers will release the Heavenly host of Angels that will protect us and our country from evil plans of violence and sudden destruction. As we pray passionately for Dearborn we will come into agreement with the prayer of our Savior Jesus Christ who said “Thy Kingdom come thy will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven”. NOTE: Transformation Michigan recognizes the many ministries who have the same vision and heart for this wonderful people group - the Muslims – and will gladly join in unity to see the final mission accomplished. This mission is to see the love of Jesus Christ manifest where many Muslims will enter the Kingdom of God by salvation through Jesus Christ! |
