Praise the Lord that we have completed 400 days/24 hours Prayer Campaign! Without this prayer shield I think I might not be able to face the storm of Michelle's leukemia. You really need to believe in this kind of power of prayers! You really need to join us!
This is how the Lord commanded me more than a year ago to teach as many people as I can to pray as never before and to experience the power of prayers! Have you experienced yet?

Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole assembly. Then he laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the Lord instructed through Moses. Numbers 27:22
When I was having a two full days coaching session for the new Mission, Vision and Action of ACiC/AI two weeks ago at Professor Terry Walling's home in Chico, Dr. Terry reminded me something very important about "finishing well". He said there are less than 70% of Christian leaders can finish well according to statistical findings. There are three main stages in Christian leaders' life. From 20 to 30 should be a stage to respond to God's calling, from 40 to 50 should be a stage to discern and do their Major Role, and from 60 to 70 should be a stage to finish well, to have a legacy and pass the baton to their successors. If you would like to know and learn more about "finishing well" you may go to the link below of some important documents written by Dr. Terry's partner, Dr. Robert Clinton:

What I heard from the Lord and saw today in this chapter is how Moses demonstrated what is "finishing well". He was a true "listen and obey" leader. Though he made a major mistake that made him unable to enter into the Promised Land but he was willing to do anything God commanded him to do. Even to accept the reality that he was going to die and pass the baton to Joshua. Dr. Terry told me that for those leaders could not finish well is they messed up with the second stage. They did not know their Major Role God appointed them so they wandering around wasting precious time.
Let me share with you what I got from three intensive sessions under the coaching of Dr. Terry. The first session was for a two full days for all ten bishops of the Anglican Mission in Denver four months ago. Then a telephone conference one-on-one with Dr. Terry a month later. Then a two full days coaching one-on-one two weeks ago.
