It sparked a series of popular demonstrations. By Nov. 20, the number of peaceful protesters assembled in Prague had swollen from 200,000 the previous day, to an estimated half-million people. As fear gripped the nations, believers began to pray. Together TC leaders interceded. As God's presence fell in the TC prayer meeting that night, the word of the Lord came

In the morning Tom Bremer, Petr Ministr and the Teen Challenge team awakened to dancing in the streets at the news that the Communist government had fallen.

As nations across the continent face "negative population growth" for the first time in history The influx of immigrants of other faiths have flooded Europe and Christianity is being supplanted as the primary faith of Europe. The very cradle of Evangelism which launched global evangelism is now in desperate need of a move of God.

"It is over," He answered, but we soldier on."
