Forest Lake Church’s fifth annual power of prayer weekend entitled Pray 11 is scheduled to take place December 31, 2010 thru January 1, 2011. The annual event will be held in the church’s main sanctuary and is opened to the surrounding community as well as Forest Lake Church members.
“Our annual New Year’s prayer weekend is a time when individuals can renew their spiritual life through the power of prayer,”
says Dr. Sabine Vatel, Forest Lake Church discipleship pastor. ” We want the power of prayer to touch as many lives as possible.”Featured at this year’s event is Pastor Ron Halvorsen, Sr., a popular speaker and author in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Halvorsen’s career includes ministering in several pastorates, as well as being an evangelist for the Faith for Today television organization and the Carolina Conference. He’s held thirty-one field schools of evangelism and taught college homiletics. As a retiree, he continues to hold meetings and prayer seminars.
Halvorsen has also written two books, From Gangs to God and Prayer Warriors. In From Gangs to God, Halvorsen tells his life story from being a fighting gang member on the streets of Brooklyn in New York City to becoming a well-known evangelist who has brought thousands to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. In Prayer Warriors, he chronicles the power of prayer in his life and others and how passionate prayer can change lives for the better.
Forest Lake’s Pray 11 will begin Friday evening, December 31 at 7:00 p.m. as Halvorsen talks about being a prayer warrior with We’re At War. The weekend continues January 1 at the church’s three main worship services (8:45 a.m., 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.) as Halvorsen preaches on Revival and Renewal. The weekend will end with a special seminar that afternoon as Halvorsen leads out in a special seminar entitled Taking the City for God.
