TheCall創辦人盧恩格(Lou Engle)10月23日於個人網站上載公開信,宣佈結束運作接近20年的TheCall事工,並差派其屬靈兒女開展新事工接續TheCall的工作。公開信亦作為官方新聞稿上載於TheCall網站主頁。

盧於信中指,結束TheCall事工是從神而來的領受:「今年2月我在夏威夷禁食期間,我讀到列王記下2章,以利亞在約旦河邊將他的外袍傳承給屬靈兒子暨雙倍恩膏的繼承人以利沙。為了美國下一階段的突破,我需要集中傾注雙倍恩膏在兒女身上,像以利亞傳承給以利沙、施洗約翰傳承給耶穌一樣,將自己的屬靈產業傳承給能夠比我走得更遠的人。」

「我強烈地感到:除非麥子落在地裏死了,否則無法結果子。TheCall事工必須『死去』,才能在美國帶來神復興的大能。在過去的20年間,神透過TheCall招聚了數以十萬計的信徒,透過禁食、禱告預備下一次的屬靈大覺醒。如今我確信TheCall事工必須光榮地結束。我為這一刻而歡慶,因為我為了新一浪的耶穌運動與美國的改革,將自己傾倒於屬靈兒女身上。」盧恩格相信,結束TheCall象徵美國將要轉換到傳福音的運動中。

盧亦在信中強調,對信徒禁食、禱告的呼召不會隨著TheCall事工的結束而中止:「明年將會有一個全球性的運動,為全球福音大收割禁食禱告40天。我將開展盧恩格事工(Lou Engle Ministries)以便發佈我從神而來的各種領受及事工。屬靈兒女Paul及Cheryl Amabile亦會繼續透過The Briefing平台興起先知性代禱。透過這次轉型,我將差派屬靈兒女David及Audry Kim夫婦啟動新事工Contend運動。我相信他們會得著TheCall雙倍的恩膏,接續TheCall為下一代持續禁食、禱告、作拿細耳人式的奉獻。這是我所承傳的產業:我期待下一代的兒女們帶領美國全然進入神的旨意中。」

TheCall於1999年成立,2000年開始不定期舉辦超過20個持續12-24小時的公開禱告、敬拜聚會。機構最後一次舉辦的聚會,是2016年4月9日為紀念美國阿蘇撒街大復興110周年,在美國洛杉磯舉辦的「Azusa Now」禱告特會,15小時的聚會共招聚了70,000名信徒參與。Contend事工網站亦特設網頁,列出TheCall曾舉辦所有聚會的詳情,以尊榮盧恩格透過此事工所作出的貢獻。

禱告:求主祝福年輕一代,倍增上一代的恩膏,讓屬靈產業世代傳承,更進一步。

親愛的“TheCall”事工的朋友們,

三十五年前,我讀了一本葉光明所著作的書。這本書的標題是“藉由禁食禱告來塑造歷史”。他寫道,國家的命定是如何藉著合一,大規模的禁食禱告來造成實際上的轉變。它成了我生命的教科書。當他去世時,我對上帝說:“如果你允許我,我要把葉光明的種子帶到全球。”

我相信我們正在進入那一天。當我們結束TheCall這個事工時,我感到聖靈在說,有一個新的世代會為了在高中,大學和城市帶來突破,而帶著其他任何一代人所從未承載的禁食禱告的這個基因。

因此,我寫這封信來告訴你們,關於一個名為Contend的運動。這一個運動是源自TheCall,由我的屬靈兒子和女兒David和Audry Kim所帶領。我想告訴你們,很少有人會像David和Audry一樣,承載著我生命裡的禁食禱告的外袍。我心中非常激動,因為我相信Contend這個運動將會興起一些遠較於TheCall所曾達到的。

最終,我相信這一個運動將會震動和塑造列國的未來。我敦促你們投入Contend這項運動並支持我所知道的最優秀的一些年輕領導者。讓我們來相信,超越我們所曾見過的大規模的青少年禁食禱告運動將會出現。

我的期望是,Contend這個運動承載著我雙倍的代禱外袍,來為美國回轉歸向神這下一階段的分娩效力。父親是永遠不會放棄他的兒女的,我以為父的心靈,致力要將Contend帶入其屬靈傳承和影響的全然豐盛之中。我的夢想是,這場運動將在全地,為美國的復興,以及向地球上未得之民的宣教禱告運動,以代禱,禁食禱告來突破。

從TheCall這個事工生出Contend這個後代。現在我仍然相信葉光明的種子將會充滿全地。我懇請閱讀這封信的每個人,不僅用你的禱告來支持,也用你的財務來支持。當這場運動進入各國,以資金和關注來追隨Contend。非常感謝你來傾聽我的心聲。

The Next Generation

Dear Friends of TheCall, 

Thirty-five years ago, I read a book by a man named Derek Prince. The title was Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting. He writes how the destinies of nations are literally shifted by united, massive fasting and prayer. It became the textbook of my life. When he passed away, I said to God, “If You will allow me, I will take Derek Prince’s seed to the whole earth.” 

I believe that we are moving into that day. As we have ended TheCall, I felt the Holy Spirit say that there is a new generation coming that's going to carry the DNA of TheCall of fasting and prayer for breakthrough for high schools, universities, and for cities like no other generation has carried it. 

Therefore, I write this letter to tell you about a movement called Contend. This movement comes out of TheCall and is led by my spiritual son and daughter, David and Audry Kim. I want to tell you there are few who carry the fasting and prayer mantle that’s been on my life like David and Audry. I am so thrilled because I believe Contend is going to raise up something even way beyond where I've gone with TheCall. 

Ultimately, I believe this movement will shake and shape the future of nations. I urge you to throw yourself behind the Contend Movement and a company of young leaders who are some of the finest I know. Let’s believe for a mass youth movement of fasting and prayer that will go beyond anything we have ever seen. 

My expectation is that Contend will carry a double-portion of my intercessory mantle for the birthing of the next stage for America turning back to God. As a father never gives away his sons and daughters, I remain heart and soul as a father committed to bring Contend into the fullness of its spiritual inheritance and impact. It is my dream that this movement will fill the earth with intercession, fasting and prayer breakthroughs for revival in America, and a missionary prayer movement to the unreached people groups of the earth.  

Out of TheCall has come the offspring of Contend. I am still believing that Derek Prince’s seed will fill the whole earth. I also urge you all reading this letter to support Contend not only with your prayers, but with your finances. Fund and follow Contend as this movement goes out into the nations. Thank you so much for hearing my heart.
