Had a nice chat with Brian Mills, one of my favourite Englishman, and inventor of the prayer triplet idea.
RESPONSE:
Brad "... for those of us (i.e. myself) who are curious but clueless?!
and am i the first one to ask, which means somebody held a prayer triplet
party and never told me? (whine, whine)
or is this some new, hot-off-the-press thang?'
Me: Hi Brad. I heard you are moving to Austin - great!!!
The prayer triplet idea took off in the 1970s all across England, and also Australia and NZ. Probably other places also but it wasnt as popular in the USA until churches like The Church on Brady (now called Mosaic) and other groups incorporated this strategy in the 1980's.
NAMB now recommend it, so it MUST BE GOOD!
You could order a book on it from Brian's site, Interprayer.com BUT, being a child of the internet generation, as you are, you want your information in 15 seconds or less and so you can read about it HERE from an American consultancy group called Hurston Minstries who say :
"Before Billy Graham arrived in England for his 1985 three month preaching tour, 30,000 prayer triplets were formed. Of that number, 3,500 saw one or more of those they targeted in prayer become Christians. A missions organization in India formed hundreds of prayer triplets leading to an evangelistic group termed a "discovery study." Through these triplets, they planted more than 600 churches in various areas of that country. "
Brian doesnt get a mention here, or on the NAMB site, and he would not insist on it, but people should know that Brian Mills is the man behind the plan.
