  Well let's look at prayer in America. There are a number of great prayer ministies in our country such as IHOP in Kansas City which is a 42/7 prayer center, are other like IHOP. There are numerous small groups paying weekly and new ones starting up all the time.
  
  As a whole I would have to agree that for the most part American Chritsians do not know what the effctual fervent prayer life even means much less doing it. I do not mean this a slam against the american church because I am a part of it. What I do see is that the church in America has no iidea what kind of prayer is needed to get teh job done and this is due too the American culture. We live in a country where the way to become wealthy is by playing the lottery or going to Vegas. We want everyyhing right now and our culture is willing to accomodate us for the buck! I know of churches in my area that have thousands on sundays but can't get more then 30 or 40 out to a prayer meeting. That tells me that our nation as a whole thinks of prayer not in a long term committment but if it does not happen right now I'll look for other ways to get it. We are the mile wide, inch deep, part of the church. The late Dr. Kennedy said not all that long ago, that in the American sector of the Christian Church, there are probably more unsaved people then saved. Maybe that is the reason for our prayer weakness!

  I believe what is meant by the statement"
  
  "The prayer movement in Korea is unlike prayers that Americans are used to. It's something Chad Hammond has never seen before and it's what led up to hundreds of thousands of people to hear the gospel message at the Busan Franklin Graham Festival. They pray at a level Americans would not believe"....
  
  may be what was witnessed by Mr Hammond when he saw people going to pray in the very early hours of the morning to pray for revival on a ONGOING basis. I don't think this was meant to offend those in the US but one would have to seriously ask how many you know go to church 4:00-5:00 in the morning to pray for revival every day. THAT is some serious prayer and this is not just one church but a whole network of churches. My wife goes to a Korean church in the US and yes they have people praying for revival everyday and very early in the morning.
  
  Again this was not to seriously offend believers in the US but at the same time I hope it does make us reflect on how much we truly do spend in prayer and quiet time as I am sure it does offend the Spirit when we do not spend time in prayer.

  I WOULD LIKE SOME REALLY IN DEPTH EXPLANATION OF THIS STATEMENT REGARDING PRAYING AT A LEVEL AMERICANS WOULD NOT BELIEVE. Can anyone who really knows about this help?

  It appears that the mantle has fallen upon Franklin. God, use him. Keep him humble. Protect him. Let a revival begin in Korea...and let one begin here. Pour out your Spirit.

  Do it again, God. Visit your people once more. You hear their voices and supplications. You want to bring a visitation of grace and power. Do it again, God.
