Connecticut State CONECTer reports -
The people of the State of CT made history this year for the National Day of Prayer. This was the first year that every town in CT(169 Towns) had a prayer event on the National Day of Prayer - 100% coverage and some towns had multiple events! I believe that the 2-3 weeks each month of prayer during the year through ORT has had an impact. I knew you would want to know this as you have been a State Coordinator for NDP in the past.

April 7 - Kansas ST CONECTer Donna Lippoldt reports in Family Policy Council newsletter - Answers to Prayer :
Barry Feaker, exec. Dir. of the Union Rescue Mission in Topeka, says, "Since ORT they have served a half million people served and have done this on $15,000. He has been questioned about how in the world he has done this. People who have never been interested in spiritual life before, are turning toward the Lord. There is an enthusiasm for Topeka. There is more cooperation in the city for transformation." (Tim's note: do you remember the testimonies that have come out of Topeka since ORT was launched in 2009? Besides crime decreasing they've also seen an economic blessing (review Deuteronomy 28), "The Mayor changed the name of Topeka to Google for the month of March. Google is considering bringing a new fiber optics to Topeka. "

Others have come together to do 1 day a month of 24 hours of prayer and worship. I am getting these reports from all over the state of Kansas.
Feb 17 USA Today Article - United States' drought has 'extraordinary' reversal click here ... in the most dramatic turnaround since federal scientists began keeping records.... More than 92% of the country is drought-free At the worst of the USA's most recent drought - in August 2007 - almost 50% of the country was involved. Currently, about 7% of the country is in a drought, according to federal scientists. In 2007 ORT began to go beyond the borders of Washington and by 2009 it reached the east coast. Coincidence or a sign and wonder? I have no doubt! What is the byproduct of a thunderstorm? Rain! Thunderstorms were one of the first signs God gave when ORT was launched in 2005. Rain is one of the signs of blessing in Deuteronomy 28. It is a way for God to encourage His people to continue to pray and seek His face corporately 24/7 city by city.

Feb 8, 2010 Whatcom County WA CONECTer reports - abortions down and they have a record number of adoptions took place in 2009.
Jan 27, 2010 breaking report - Decreasing Crime Reported due to 24/7 Prayer - I received two reports today. One from our Pastor Troy Green of Northwest Life Center in Elma, Grays Harbor County WA, and Kansas state CONECTer Donna Lippoldt for the Family Policy Council. Pastor Troy reports that he just read in the newspaper that felonies have gone down dramatically in Grays Harbor. They dropped from 721 in 2005 to 557 in 2009. The Manhattan newspaper reported that crime in Riley County KS was down 8%. Two different counties, to different states, report similar results on the same day. What is the common denominator? The both used Operation Rolling Thunder to help them mobilize and connect the body of Christ.
2009 - 7500+ days of 24/7 in 108 cities in 24 nations
Click here for 2009 highlights. This year we saw a dramatic increase as the signs, wonders and results that have followed our ministry have now begun to manifest through our CONECTers in their respective areas. Thirteen state leaders from the National Day of Prayer were trained and some saw incredible results. For example, Kansas mobilized 16 cities of which 9 continued throughout the year with over 250 churches cooperating 24/7/365. They saw the property crime in Topeka decline by 15.4%, a premier abortion clinic closed in Wichita, as well as a drought broken in their state, thunderstorms marking the kick off of ORT, great amount of rainbows reported on the news and much more. Kenya reports similar occurrences along with increased salvations and healings. Remarkable unity is a common report. Pakistan now has 5 city prayer centers and 127 CONECTers. We saw 3 churches planted directly related to the first 5 city prayer centers that were birthed in 2008. Myanmar reports remarkable numbers of salvations, water baptisms, healings and unity too. The reports are overwhelming. As God's people apply the simple powerful strategy they are getting amazing results that point to measurable results that point to transformation.
WMI's Annual Report 2009 - At this time last year I reported that through ORT we had reached and mobilized 12 cities in three countries and a Church plant resulted in a prison in Pakistan making Pakistani history. There were over 2300+ days of 24/7 committed to. One year later I'd like to report that ORT has gone to over 108 cities in 24 nations. Click here to download your PDF e-newsletter
