The 10 Days Story (Part 4)

Following a "small but successful" 10 Days in 2006, Jonathan is inspired while at a conference at Yale University to enter a season of extended fasting. During the fast, he heard the Lord ask him to "call 120 to pray for 10 Days leading up to Pentecost."

This new direction from the Lord led to an amazing faith adventure. Unexpectedly, the emerging 10 Days team began to converge with significant threads of revival and missions history. Ultimately, this led to the first 10 Days retreat in Northfield, MA in 2007 at an enormous, empty campus founded by evangelist DL Moody. This "revival lab" experience was full of firsts. This was the first time they saw what could happen when believers "stopped everything" to seek God for 10 Days. For Jonathan, this time touched on an even deeper desire--it was his first time experiencing what it feels like when believers are "one as the Father and Son are one", a small but significant measure of John 17 unity.

This is the fourth installment in a multi-part series of interviews telling the story of 10 Days in depth from the perspective of the founder, Jonathan Friz, interviewed by 10 Days board member Gregg Healey.  While many people have heard elements of the story of 10 Days, this is an in depth retelling that includes many stories that have never been shared before publicly.  You'll hear it all--from amazing victories to dramatic and painful failures.  Jonathan and Gregg are good friends and it comes through in the playful and fun conversational style of the interviews.

About the Podcast

10 Days
Join the Global Upper Room
10 Days is a tangible step of obedience toward the answer to Jesus’ prayer in John 17:21: “Let them be one as we are one.” This is about seeing Jesus receive the answer to His dying wish, for the John 17 unity of His followers. “Jesus gets what He prays for!”

Every year in cities around the world, believers come together in a citywide prayer meeting for 10 days in September. We take a break from what’s normal on earth so we can enter into what’s normal in heaven.

We hope you'll join us in the Global Upper Room this September.
