Christian Emergency Network: February 2022

Merciful and gracious LORD, we seek Your heart for our lives as we fully surrender to You. You embody TRUTH, You define TRUTH, You lead us in TRUTH! You are the TRUTH. Help us Father to know TRUTH- know You and embrace You so that we can be fully free from all the sin and evil the world offers. Then we can live with hope and help You give. Help us be TRUTH bearers to a watching world desperately in need of You, the TRUTH. Help us recognize You with Truth and discard and disarm the lies of the one in the world. Jesus the Christ, the Anointed One, we come through You. AMEN

CEN News: Announcing National Prayer Officer Lisa Crump

Lisa Crump is the National Prayer Officer for the Christian Emergency Network. In her CEN National Prayer Officer role she assists prayer leaders across the U.S. and worldwide, to bring God’s word and His truth to bear on emergencies of all kinds. Lisa began fervently interceding for the CEN ministry twenty years ago when it was founded because she saw the urgent need to equip Christians to be ready for ‘such a time as this’. With her executive leadership experience in recruiting and mobilizing a vast network of volunteers at Focus on the Family and the National Day of Prayer ministries spanning two decades, Lisa brings seasoned and mature prayer leadership to the CEN.

During Lisa’s nine years at Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs, Colorado, she engaged and equipped prayer leadership in national conferences such as Life on the Edge, Love Won Out, and the 25th Anniversary of Focus on the Family.

In addition, Lisa served on the executive staff of the National Day of Prayer Task Force for seventeen years. With her executive experience in the areas of operations, volunteer mobilization management, and as the liaison for NDP National Prayer Ministries, Lisa helps guide and direct CEN prayer leaders to build their own church and citywide prayer teams. She assists them in building strong, crisis prayer communications while learning the basic, biblical principles of crisis response in the CEN Prayer Classroom. Lisa’s leadership style seamlessly inspires acts of kindness as she leads others to experience personal, “transformational” prayer.

Lisa’s experience in founding the monthly call, Pray for America, while on the staff at National Day of Prayer equips her to offer wise guidance on how to pray in times of crisis and lead church, ministry and citywide prayer teams during these increasingly uncertain times. She has a passion to encourage prayer leaders to be AWARE, READY and THERE themselves, sharing Christ in emergencies large and small. You will want to join Lisa on the “For Such a Time as This!” Monthly Prayer Leader Conference Calls and when global, national, state or citywide incidents warrant.

Whether it is praying with dignitaries at a large gathering in our nation’s capital or interceding with leaders from all walks of life on their doorstep, Lisa models humble servant leadership, even after speaking and traveling on behalf of the Kingdom of God in all 50 U.S. states! She will frequently tell you, “Volunteers are my teachers, functioning from their call of God and zeal for Him.”

You are INVITED to join CEN Founder and President Mary Marr, along with nationally recognized prayer leader Lisa Crump on the April 5th and every:

FIRST Tuesday of each Month at 8PM ET/7MT/5PM PT

Lisa will lead us in praying through the critical issues facing Christians today around the globe. Mary will provide a brief overview of the current domestic and international situation and how Christians may be more aware and ready to respond with the Hope of Christ in the midst of hopelessness in these uncertain times. Join with other believers as Lisa leads us in a fervent prayer “For Such a Time as This!”

“For God gave a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”ESV

2 Timothy 1:7

Lord God Almighty our gracious Father, You are holy and worthy of all our praise. We treasure Your Word in our minds, hearts and soul as You instruct us of Your gifts imparted to us, all made in Your image and called by Your Name. The world taunts messages of fear everyday wanting us to depend on sources other than You for help and hope. But we must embrace Your Spirit giving us power to overcome darkness and to advance Your principles in the world around us. You give us a spirit of love to even love our enemies and cover a multitude of sins. Your gift of self-control keeps us from reacting to where we respond by Your Spirit governing us. Help us overcome fear that the enemy purports in the world by the Holy Spirit You give us. Jesus our Savior through Your risen life we come to meet with our God. AMEN
