Time:

Join Alex Canavan, David Manuel and many other Christians each Wednesday at noon in Tremont Temple for an hour of prayer.

We do not claim it is Him, but what follows is the gist of what has come to us.

Precious time: Whose time is it and how do you spend it? David Manuel writes: Lately I’ve been convicted of my lack of generosity. Not with money; I seem to be getting the hang of that right-hand, left-hand thing. With time. Mine is precious, and I don’t like giving it up.

Boston Noon Hour: Awe and Wonder Boston MA (March 6, 2007) David Manuel writes: As you know, last December, my co-steward of the Boston Noon Hour, Alex Canavan, was diagnosed with colon cancer.

Boston Noon Hours: A Shi'ite Muslim tells of Jesus appearing to him Boston MA (March 1, 2007) David Manuel writes: We had an extraordinary event at the Noon Hour yesterday, thanks to a divine miscommunication and the kindness of Bob Weiner’s wife Rose who shares his burden – and ours – for the coming Awakening in Boston. We heard the testimony of a Shi’ite Muslim from Iran, to whom Jesus appeared, and who, faced this supernatural but unshakable reality, gave his heart to Him.

David Manuel: Out-giving God As has been the case recently, not only was God already in the sanctuary, when we arrived at Tremont Temple for the Noon Hour September 27,2006, His Spirit was wonderfully sweet and gentle – and got only more so, as the hour went on. Caught up in Him, we were surprised when it was suddenly time to close – and lingered for a good half hour, afterwards.

David Manuel: Synchronize your watches On September 26, 2006, as I was asking the Lord what direction this week's update should take, the phone rang. It was Lisa Leach, from Connecticut. “I was out working in the garden," she said, "when the Lord told me to come in and call you.”

David Manuel: The vision will not tarry Boston MA (Sept. 11, 2006) David Manuel writes: Last Wednesday, Alex brought a timely word which had come to him early in the morning, as he meditated on Habakkuk 2:3 -- "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end, it shall speak, and not lie. Though it [may seem to] tarry, wait for it. Because it will surely come and will [in reality] not tarry."

Jaeson Ma, founder of Campuschurch.net, visited the Boston Noon Hour with two of his friends from California. Jaeson says: "We are in a unique hour where God is raising up a sense of revival and massive spontaneous prayer across college campuses all over our nation. It is timely, that at this critical moment we gather student leaders "face to face" across this nation who are contending for revival and campus transformation to meet together to pray, plan and pursue God's purposes in our generation."

Boston Noon Hour: Update March 17, 2006 David Miguel writes: Last Wednesday (our 40th hour), looking around the large circle (we've been more than 70 these past few weeks) we were struck by what a stew we were -- Charismatics (quiet) and Evangelicals (bold), Catholics and Protestants, of all races and ages. Each week God adds fresh ingredients and seasoning to the pot. And while He's had us simmering on the back burner for a season, now He seems to have brought us forward and turned up the flame.

Boston MA (March 8, 2006) Esmeralda de Diehl writes: A group of 55 people met at the Boston Noon Hour prayer earlier today. The group has nearly doubled in size since January when I first attended. The meetings truly seem to reflect the diversity in God's Kingdom. Young and old are coming together from all walks of life united by the same spirit and purpose. The meetings have been a great blessing for me. [COMMENTS(1)]
Boston Noon Hour: March 1, 2006 Update David Manuel writes: Wednesday March 1, 2006 in answer to prayer, God brought 70 to the Boston Noon Hour (our 38th). It was our largest gathering thus far, and while God is not impressed with numbers, He did seem pleased with so many open hearts seeking His face. The sweet spirit of the hour and the strong presence of His Spirit were the same as last summer, when we were delighted if six or eight came.

David Manuel: Meeting with Lou Engle - What has happened to Harvard? Boston MA (March 1, 2006) David Manuel writes: Last week I was with Lou Engle. If you don't know who he is, five years ago he and Che Ahn led 400,000 young people to the Mall in Washington for a prayer rally known as "The Call." And if you're seen on the news, young people with red duct tape over their mouths, silently protesting abortion on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court, they were from Lou's 24/7 prayer HQ in DC called JHOP, the Justice House of Prayer.
