A NOTE FROM PASTOR SHAYNE PAYNE
Elim Global Missions Initiative (EGMI) catalyzes spiritual awakening and revival around the world. We stand alongside churches, businesses, communities, regions, and entire nations to help bring about spiritual awakening, equip the revived, and provoke them into God’s destiny. We are raising an army of revival carrier missionaries who travel throughout territories and into the nations to work with God’s people. Our mission is to help spread the message of awakening, establish prayer altars, and bring about unity in the Body of Christ to see spiritual awakening for transforming revival.
The heart of God longs for intercessors. Yet, several times in the scriptures He notes the shortage of them. This cry goes far beyond an office or ministry. It's not something volunteers do occasionally, but rather it is a life surrendered to be lived out on a burning altar where the fire does not go out. This sacrifice produces a pleasing aroma and secures a favorable response from the throne of God. He is looking for those who will first stand with Him, then before Him to hear His heart. Of all ministries, it is the loneliest, most misunderstood, and discouraging work, yet it is the most vital. Intercessors are not simply offering prayers. Rather, they're responding by the power of the Holy Spirit within them to burdens straight from the heart of God.
For those who are walking this journey, please know that your time invested in intercession is never in vain. The same God, who told the Prophet Samuel that He was going to look for a king, sought through many potential candidates, and in the same manner, He chose you to engage on His behalf. Like Job, you have been considered.
Be encouraged. Be blessed.
