**NEW link for the 11th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign(from August 25 to December 03, 2012).
The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week. What you need to do is very simple. Choose one dayThe easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week to pray for me, my family and my ministry, remembering the ministry of ACiC(ACiC has two Networks: ACiC, Anglican Coalition in Canada and AI, Asian Initiative). You may use the whole hour in prayer or you can still do you work in your office but use as much time as you can to pray and the other time work prayerfully that hour to pray for our ministry. This campaign is also to teach you that you need somebody to pray for you daily. I have been prayed for hourly the past 1,100 days and I have never experienced this kind of peace and protection before. It's just beyond words can express. If I did not listen and obey to Jesus call 1,100 days ago to start this prayer movement, I think I would be pulled into darkness and discouragement already! I deeply believe that this is a way to draw as many participation as we can in prayers. I encourage you to participate. We need you to join us! Trust in the power of prayers!

Bible Study
Today's passage tells us a very difficult situation in a man's life when his fiancee got pregnant and he did not have sex with her. That's Joseph story, amazing story. He accepted the angel's message and he married Mary! Do you think you can do that? Impossible! Yes, because you are not Joseph!
N.T. Wright gives us a good reflection:
God is present, with his people; he doesn't 'intervene' from a distance, but is always active, sometimes in most unexpected ways...This is God, and this is the Jesus, who comes to us still today when human possibilities have run out, offering new and startling ways forward, in fulfilment of his promises, by his powerful love and grace.
How do you experience this active God to closely intervene your path when you have run out your possibilities in a most unexpected way?
Have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"
Spiritual Journal
What I heard from Jesus today is: The end of human effort, the beginning of God's power!
Two days ago I met with a new friend I know just not long ago. He told me he started to use my podcast 22 days ago and has been helping him everyday. I asked him what did he needed most. He said, "I need a way out!" I said, "You are on the right track because Jesus is the WAY, not only the way out. He is not pointing the way out to you but He is the Way!"
Do you know when you are heading to a dead end, having no way out then you may be in the real way out? Because that might be the time for you to really experience how power God is, just like how Joseph experienced. Let's pray for this brother that he not even see the way out, have the way out but to be really in the way, a daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus.
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to know that when we are at the end of our effort, that may be the most important time we can experience you provision and power. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
