2. RESTORATION ADVOCATES ROUND TABLES. Restoration Advocates Round Tables exist to identify, pray for, present, and implement solutions for social restoration in a city that individuals and churches cannot resolve. They are made up of Christians who serve as change agents, addressing their city's needs and solving those needs through prayer and by means of existing organizations in that city. If a need cannot be met with an existing ministry/agency, then an appropriate ministry/agency can be formed to address that need. An inspiring article by Paul Dozeman.

9. THE CARELESS PRIESTHOOD. A prophetic word by Pat Cocking. "The Lord is calling His people as a priesthood who will be pure in heart and in lifestyle, filled with faith, securing victory, blessing and harvest for the nations. If we are careless however, the following could be the consequences:
a. We could lose the manifestation of the presence of the Lord. Other nations could possibly conquer us. Our victories and blessings in life will be lost. Oppression will rule over us individually and corporately as a nation.
b. We could possibly expose and throw the next generation (our children, our grandchildren) out to the very sin that we tolerate.
c. We could lose the privilege of ministering unto Him and handling His holy things.
