Ferguson Response Director Jonathan Tremaine Thomas says, "Both authorities and citizens in St. Louis are bracing for a potential eruption of violence not only here but possibly around the nation. Not everyone is prone to violence but various ideological groups have converged on the area and there is international presence. Some see it as a flashpoint for the advancement of anarchist agendas and have made serious threats but we see it as a flashpoint for revival. We have clearly seen the prevailing hand of God and know that He responds to His people when we fervently pray." 

In October, a tent was erected in Ferguson where 8-10 hours of praise, worship, intercession, and evangelism occurred daily. Believers of every hue worked together to provide opportunities for residents to experience God. "There were miraculous healings and deliverances; a couple of major protests were turned into prayer meetings, a few violent situations were diffused through supernatural intervention, 50 people surrendered their lives to Jesus, and many more heard the Gospel," says Pastor Jeff Riddering. The tent expression ended on October 25th with a free community feast. An estimated 750 plates were served as guests enjoyed music, drama, dance, and other activities; including a panel discussion with the great granddaughter of Dred Scott and the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

"Although it was an incredibly powerful time, we've only just begun. I believe this crisis is a clear invitation to the Church to manifest the love of God but He is exposing our hearts. Jesus always deals with iniquity in us before He deals with inequity around us. Regardless of the facts and the outcome, every Believer has a major role to play in the healing of these wounds and peace in the nations. It's critical that we respond to the Lord now," says Minister Thomas.
