Dear Free Indeed Intercessors,
“…my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” Isaiah 56:7
On a recent Sunday evening I joined in a great worship gathering of the body of Christ at “Miah’s Meadow” on Goose Chase Lane north of Spokane. Our host, messianic brother Nehemiah Rudolph, gave a winsome account of how the Israelites would talk as they journeyed to the feasts in Jerusalem three times each year. Their relationship to Yahweh was passed down this way from generation to generation. I was thrilled to be among so many young people coming into their own callings with passion, commitment, energy and high praises. We certainly experienced the joy of the “one new man,” both Jew and Gentile, that Paul spoke of in Ephesians 2:15.
This has been an amazing year to celebrate the three Biblical feasts, Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles. The enemy raging like a roaring lion could not stop our Lord from calling us to join together in worldwide consecration and celebration of the first two feasts. This month of September, we will enter the season of the third, Succoth, the fall festival.
These spiritual celebrations of worship by the living stones of the house that God is building are happening in many
places. The one worldwide expression that I’m most familiar with and have been participating in is hosted by Watchmen for the Nations at watchmen.org. They will have a four-part series weekly from September 17-October 8 called “Preparing a Dwelling Place.” My life and ministry have been changed by walking along the Lord’s highway with this expression of the “one new man” this year.
Through it all, the same Jesus who proclaimed, “I will build my Ecclesia (Church)” is gaining more ground on Planet Earth than ever.

It was an amazing week. The three days with our family was jam-packed full of good things. We were restored by the blue skies, the bright stars and the peace of the campground. There were special times with the Lord and opportunity to minister. Robby and I came back filled up.
