World Prayer Center - Colorado Springs, CO
While in Colorado Springs, Colorado on May 13, 2009, I decided to visit the World Prayer Center. The place is HUUUUUUUGE! Can you say MegaChurch?
Their address is: 5575 N Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80918 - (719) 262-9922
Global Harvest Ministries and The World Prayer Center is dedicated to raising the prayer effort to pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest and see all peoples and nations hear the good news that Jesus has given us eternal life through His death and resurrection.
Adjacent to Global Harvest Ministries is The World Prayer Center. The Prayer Center is a joint effort of several fundamentalist organizations but located at and presided over by New Life Church - houses a bookstore called Solomons Porch, as well as corporate prayer rooms, personal prayer closets, hotel rooms, and the headquarters of Global Harvest, a ministry dedicated to spiritual warfare. (The Prayer Centers nickname in the fundamentalist world is spiritual NORAD.)
Peter Wagner is the President of the Global Harvest Ministries.
Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE). A group of 25 respected prophets meet with me every fall to seek a word from the Lord for the following year. Meanwhile, we all stay in touch with each other and we support each other's ministries as opportunity arises. Cindy Jacobs prepares the agenda and serves as the ACPE Scribe to compile and issue the forthcoming prophetic document. This is a closed group.

Tig Notaro Coming To Colorado Springs April 19
Tix:
Tig Notaro is a groundbreaking stand-up comedian, actor, writer, producer, and director originally from Mississippi. Hailed for her effortless storytelling and fearless stage presence, her subject matter ranges from the delightfully absurd to the monumentally serious. Rolling Stone recently named Tig “one of the 50 best stand-up comics of all time.”
This year, Notaro and her wife/writing partner Stephanie Allynne sold the screenplay First Ladies to Netflix with Jennifer Aniston attached to star as the first female President of the United States and Notaro starring as the First Lady. This year Notaro also appeared opposite Oscar Award winner Octavia Spencer in the Paramount Pictures comedy Instant Family.
