I apologize for the delay in updating everyone on the trip, I'm just now getting internet access so I will try to upload all pictures on Facebook tonight and put up information on at least the first three days of this amazing adventure.
Today was a day of travel – it was easy and uneventful. At 5:30 we had a general session in which we watched an anti-Israel propaganda film tailored for Christian viewings. We disputed the myths with facts and talked about how to do that effectively on college campuses.
Afterwards a large group of students decided to take a metro train from New Jersey into New York. It was SO COOL! I got to see Times Square, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Plaza, and the place I wanted to visit most: Ground Zero – the place where the twin World Trade Center towers once stood.
The feeling I had standing at Ground Zero was indescribable. I started to pray on behalf of New York and the United States, and when words failed me I prayed in the Spirit. I pulled down strongholds and bound evil spirits. I prayed that God would raise up intercessors in New York City in Jesus’ Name. I believe those prayers avail much!
As much as I am SO GLAD I had this experience, I must admit – New York is dirty and stinky! The lights are cool, and there are plenty of interesting people to observe (like a random guy walking around with white rats crawling all over him). Some people sang, some played instruments, and others danced. I also liked watching the horse carriages in the city. It’s a unique array of people in one centralized location, and that’s what makes it interesting. I don’t think I would ever want to go back, except maybe to see Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty.
I did not sleep at all this night – we returned to our hotel in Newark around 6:00 a.m., just in time for a shower, devotions, breakfast, and getting checked out of the hotel.
