Ben Simpson has let us know that so far through downloads and purchases of hard bound copies of the 40 Days of Prayer Book that we have raised enough funds to purchase 17 Bed Nets for Nothing But Nets.
It is exciting to see the connection between prayer and action demonstrated through the campaign. The Facebook group now has over 400 people who have joined saying they are participating and joining in prayer.
I am heading off to the Minnesota Annual Conference which starts tomorrow so keep the AC session in your prayers too.

40 Days of Prayer: Day 4
The prayer for renewal continues:
Day 4 by Stephanie Gottschalk
Remember, if you would like to download a digital copy of the book containing all 40 prayers (put together by the hard work of Ben Simpson) you can either do that for $10 or you can order a hard bound copy (for those who like to touch and feel things and flip pages) for $16.50. The thing that is most exciting about these options for me is the fact that the proceeds (minus production costs) are going to Nothing but Nets. As Ben updates us on how the campaign is going I will keep everyone who reads this updated on how much money (or how many Nets) have been raised through the campaign.

40 Days of Prayer: Day 1 (It Begins!)
One thing that has always been an important part of my faith journey is my prayer life. It is something that my mother instilled in me at a young age. So I was very excited when Ben Simpson had a prompting to pray for renewal within the United Methodist Church. From that initial prompting a 40 day campaign of prayer for the United Methodist Church was birthed within the young clergy that had connected via technology (the internets that Al Gore invented....who knew Al Gore would play such an instrumental part in the hope for renewal within the United Methodist Church?)
Anyway, today marks the beginning of the 40 days and each day I will post a link to the prayer for the day. So here it goes:
Day 1 by Andrew Conard.
If you are someone who would like to have a digital copy of the whole book or would like to order a hard copy (for all you tangible people) they are available here.
You can download a digital copy for $10 or a hard-bound copy for $16.50. The best part about that is that all the proceeds (minus production cost) will go to support the ministry of Nothing But Nets which helps purchase Bed Nets for those areas that battle with malaria via mosquitos.
Please consider joining us as we pray for God's reign within the United Methodist Church.

Preparing to Move
Don't expect to many regular updates on here (not that they have been regular anyway) as Stacy and I prepare to move to Winona. Our lives are going to be filled with transition tasks like packing, moving, cleaning, etc.
In logistical news I will be moving my blog to a different URL as I don't think "chatfieldpastor.blogspot.com" will aptly describe my new ministry situation. There is an outside chance I might just pass along this address to the incoming pastor (whoever that might end up being) and see if he/she would want to continue to post.
Who knows, but rest assured I will keep everyone up-to-date and once we get settled into Winona expect more regular updates as I ponder life and get to know the community of Winona.

40 Days of Prayer
I am not going to say to much but rather direct you to Ben Simpson's page and post since he was the one who first felt the promptings from God to engage in this campaign. Check it out here.
Suffice it to say that a bunch of younger clergy have banded together and committed to pray over 40 days for the United Methodist Church and that God would work within us for rebirth and renewal to strengthen our witness of Jesus Christ.
I will be an author of one of the prayers and am excited to join this group and encourage anyone here to please check out the campaign and think about joining us in prayer. I am excited to have Jared Morey (a friend from MN and spouse of one of my colleagues Rachel) and David Hollis (a friend from my time at Duke Divinity School) as committed prayer partners during this time.
Anyway it kicks off on May 18th!
