One word that I can think of for the time I have been in Mountain Climbers Prayer Group is Transformation!
I joined Mountain Climbers Prayer Group in 2006 when my first born was about to turn 2 years old and since then I have stayed on and never have I regretted even a second of it for the decision I took. I have grown so much in the area of spiritual growth and encounters, deeper understanding of the word, forgiveness, peace, joy, act of kindness, generosity and the list is endless.. I couldn’t have done this alone, God has been in the centre of it all but I can attest that my prayer group members have played such a huge role as vessels a time like this in this transformation.
One of my children once told me, mum you look so weary, you’ve been working so hard, you need a therapy and I know whats best for you, go to the mountains with your prayer group and you will shine and true to the word it worked! We have learned the word of God together every Monday and Thursday of the week in addition to weekend/overnight prayer retreats. We have encouraged each other during hard times, prayed for each other, stepped out of comfort zone and prayed and helped those that we know are hurting around the world.
I recall a time when I called one of the members for a desperate intercessory prayer and prayed for my little nephew who had just been born in the US and was lying on that little theatre bed undergoing resuscitation and she just prayed, Lord breath into his little lungs right now, your breath lord, she kept repeating those words and at that very moment the little boy who was turning blue came to life. The lord heard that prayer of a faithful servant. I don’t know where I would be today were it not for these sisters in Christ that are so loving, a phone call away and so compassionate with such zeal for the things of God. Through them I have learnt so much and grown quite deep in the word of God. We have recently finished 40 days of prayer and fasting as a group that has not only transformed my life forever but the lives of those around me. I couldn’t have done it alone, the encouragement in the group and that togetherness made a difference. I am looking forward to such an ample and yet transforming time with the Father again.
