Operation Rolling Thunder in Topeka is part of a statewide network of praying Christians who believe prayer changes every realm of our society.
Our Core Values

The Holy Scriptures are the divinely inspired written word of God.
As we pray, God releases a foretaste of this future glory.
Repentance always precedes spiritual awakening.
Prayer is an enjoyable privilege that draws us into intimacy with Almighty God.
If we seek Him first, all other needs will be met by our loving Father.
Our access to the Father's heart is through the sacrificial blood of His Son and by the Holy Spirit.

Our Goals

To cover the Topeka area with constant prayer to bring transformation and blessing
To enlist the participation of every Bible-believing, Christ-centered congregation in our area
To pray from a coordinated, citywide prayer list
To pray for every sphere of society to be transformed

Cities and regions all over the world are being transformed by God's power. Why not Topeka? Why not now?
If those of us in Topeka who are called by His name will humble ourselves and pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways, then God will hear from heaven, forgive our sin, and heal our land (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Be a Connector. The Life You Change May Be Yours.

ORT Connectors are the critical church contacts that administer the prayer initiative in their church. One church connector has found that ORT has changed her life. When the call came in her church for a connector, she was moved to step forward and volunteer. She acknowledged that prior to accepting this area of service, she had not been a prayer warrior.

But now, accepting this opportunity to serve, she finds she is a different person. Where before, prayer was not an urgent thirst in her life, she now finds she is constantly looking for opportunities to "be with the Lord" in prayer.

She has prayed, "Lord, I don’t even recognize myself anymore. You have changed my life." She now keeps ORT communicated to the church body, urging members to sign up for 24/7 opportunities.

Kansas Testimonies

Answered Prayer across Kansas since April 6, 2009

As we have prayed targeted prayers, we have seen many results in Kansas. Here are a few:

In Topeka, the police documented a 15.4% drop in crime during the period of April 6 - May 31 (Phase One of ORT 2010).

In Southwest Kansas, particularly Elkhart, Dodge City, Garden City, they were experiencing a drought. Elkhart only had five inches of rain in the last year. Since April 6, they have had more rain than the last seven years.

In Dodge City, they prayed for the healing of the Hispanic people and the community as well as the drought. Now Dodge City is green and beautiful. At one meeting, 120 Hispanic and white women gathered in Bible Study together. This has never happened before.

In Arkansas City, they are sensing a unity of purpose to not give into fear in their businesses. They are placing signs in the downtown businesses that say, “We have decided not to participate in doom and gloom.” Their attitude toward the financial downfall is speaking life into the community.

In Plainville, in Northwest Kansas, the church that hosted 24 hours prayer reported a complete rainbow right over their church the first day of the prayer.

At Haskell University in Lawrence, they have had 75 salvations since April 6, 2009. They had a beautiful commemorative service on September 17 that released the Spirit of Forgiveness at the 125th year since the doors of Haskell opened. (Whites had removed Indian children from their homes, cut their long hair, put “American” clothes on them and told them not to speak in their native language.) God forgive us. Shame has been removed and liberty is flourishing.

In Wichita, they were averaging three homicides per month. From April 6, 2009 (National Day of Prayer) there was not one homicide. A new team of leaders is now working in Wichita to get more churches up on the wall.

In Manhattan, many churches are reporting a sense of unity and seeing more called to committed prayer. Women are praying each morning. The people are loving the fact that they are praying together.
