7 years of 24/7

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY IHOP!

As of September 19, IHOP has been going 24/7 for 7 years. Today was a celebration that was bigger than I expected. The service included a video featuring prophetic words from years ago (complete with Mike in 1980's clothing). The video was hilarious in parts, inspiring in others, and faith building all around. Mike spent the next hour trying to cram 23 years of history into an hour. It was really great and is exciting to see where God will take us from here.

After the service was a blowout party at a nearby park. There were seemingly thousands of people at the park (probably more like 1500 or so) all there to eat, play games, and watch Mike Bickle and the "old guys" play Dwayne Roberts and the FSM guys play a strange game of touch football. I left before the end of the game, but I must say it was fun to watch Mike be a quarterback on the field wearing a purple jersey with 777 across his back!

The celebration continues over the next two days and Marsha is coming to hang out with me for the festivities! Woo hoo!

I'll let you know how it all goes, but in case you missed it... IHOP has been going with worship and intercession for 7 years non stop day and night... a sign and a wonder!
