**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
In yesterday's passage, Jesus gave a new relationship to His disciples that He is their brother, His Father is their Father and His God is their God. Here in this passage of Jesus' second appearance after he was resurrected, Jesus gave them a new job. A mission impossible job! That's God's job to forgive someone and that's God's job to retain someone's sin. How could they do it? Impossible!
Now you may come into an understanding that Jesus wants you and me to do what He wants us to do are something impossible for a human to do. He wants us to do God's job! Really? That's what N.T. Wright says:
Jesus' mission to Israel, reaching its climax in his death and resurrection, is thus to be implemented by the disciples' mission to the world. That's why they need the Holy Spirit: Jesus breath, God's breath, to enable them to do the job they could otherwise never dream of doing.
Jesus' breath to His disciples is just like God's breath to Adam when He created him. This day is a new creation, Jesus breathed into His disciples to make a new creation happened. And this new creation is us, we need Jesus' breath, the Holy Spirit filling in us each day that we can do Jesus mission impossible job.
Are you ready to be filled by the Holy Spirit to do Jesus mission impossible job?
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: How to do Jesus mission impossible job?
Today Jesus gives you and me a very important question with a very simple answer. We need Jesus to breathe in us His breath so that we can be a new creation. That should be our born again experience. And, we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit each day so that we are able to do Jesus mission impossible job. Many Christians say NO to Jesus because they think the job is too difficult so many Christians are not doing Jesus job but their own jobs making the world darker and darker! How about you, are you willing? Start with filling with the Holy Spirit each day and you will know what Jesus means!
Dear Holy Spirit,
Fill us now that we can do Jesus mission impossible job. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
