 2009 Impact Prayer begins with the encouragement of the Word of God...  "PRAY!  I will answer!" the Lord says.

With approximately 17 people in attendance, almost every NF Deaf region is represented by attendees.  From Minnesota, to Oklahoma; from Oregon to Maryland.  All have come for one purpose; to touch the heart of God for Deaf people and Deaf ministry leaders in America!

One of the attendees of the 2009 "Philly" National Impact Prayer meeting, Emory Dively, made a comment that..."we often refer to Impact Prayer by it's initials "I. P."  When you think about it, that's right, because when, in the tech world you refer to an "ip address," you're often referring to a web, email, or vp contact address; it's the address someone else uses to contact you. " 

Heaven's IP Address:     Pra.yer.24.777

Impact prayer, 2009, was just that...contacting heaven on behalf of ourselves, God's people, God's church, and lost Deaf souls.

  The final morning of the 2009 Impact Prayer gathering in Philly was capped-off by sharing our "Dreams" for NF.  What can God do through us if we'll let Him; If we'll cooperate; if we'll know His will and direction; if we'll Just Do Something too big for us and perfect for Him to handle?


We spent the morning in worship led by Marva Petrus, and an extended, spontaneous prayer afterwards before we began throwing out ideas of what God might do in our local ministries, and in NF, through us. 


Next year's location was discussed but not decided on.  Locations on the West Coast, South, and Midwest were discussed.  The East coast wasn't offered since the IP was hosted on the East this year.  The location will be posted at the Impact Prayer link by February of 2010.  A concerted effort will be made, also, to invite and get a commitment from more of our pastors to join and share together in this most important event.
