the underground network

Ever wonder what the OTHER Lord’s prayer is? We’ve all memorized, “Our Father, who art in heaven…” but do we know the ONLY OTHER prayer Jesus calls us to pray? It’s in Luke 10, and its changing the face of missions in America, and really the whole world.

Jesus calls together a band of about 70 disciples, and asks them to go to the towns and villages he planned to visit. Before they head off, he teaches them to pray, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few; so pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest, ask him to send more workers into his fields.”

What if we really believed in the Lord of the Harvest – that if we continually begged God to bring workers to the harvest field of Chicago, that he may answer that prayer in ways we could never even imagine?

I believe the Gospel is a virus, and one of its mutations is the 10:2b Virus. So if you don’t want to get infected, stop reading right now and forget you ever saw this! Every day at 10:02am my cell phone alarm goes off and reminds me to pray for the harvest workers in Chicago. That includes many of you. My prayers focus on the harvest field, for the people groups who do not yet have a vibrant family of Jesus that embodies the Good News in their language.

The truth is, since I’ve started praying this prayer, I’ve seen two things in the way of God’s answers: one, more workers – LOTS more people ready to be sent into their social circles, and two, WAY more harvest field than my heart can take. Gals n’ guys, let’s pray this prayer together. Everyday. Let’s just see what God can do with a network of radical followers of Christ ready to pray this dangerous prayer.

It’s interesting that after these disciples prayed this prayer, they went out – they became the answers to their own prayers!

There is a community of church planters around the country that center around this prayer online – check out their site: LK10.com
