IHOP Leaders Summit response

The leadership summit was a well spent weekend. I was especially glad to have Kathy join me. I loved sitting with her during the teachings - sharing a part of my world she often hears about but doesn't get to see. It is rare that she gets to come along because of the large responsibility we have at home with a big family. But this time she slip out with me and Joshua ran the house. Of course some friends helped and took the little girls - (thanks McCoys) and the older girls were all at the Revolve Tour. So it was boys weekend at the Tombley's. (I think they actually spent most of their time at the monastery. )

I was extremely impressed with Alan Hood from Kansas City IHOP. He was very grounded theologically and he spoke with wisdom as well as a reconciling spirit. It was good to see some New Testament references too :)

Unfortunately I feel the local church gets the shaft in some of these discussions and prayer efforts. This is both an expression of immaturity and frustration on the part of people that love prayer. I will not let it stop what I think HOPE is called to do.

Number 1 thing learned? Teach and teach again the reason for a house of prayer. I think I have the scope of it. But there is so much more to really digest and learn to articulate. I am all the more convinced that we are called to have NIGHT and DAY prayer at LivingStone Monastery and HOPE.
