"One thing I have asked of the Lord, that I shall seek:

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days

of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to

meditate in His temple."  Psalm 27:4

Hi, my name is Karen Brodigan and I am an Intercessory Missionary at East Bay Prayer

Furnace in Livermore CA.

From my earliest days of walking with Jesus, I knew this Psalms 27:4 call in my heart, to spend my life on Him. Through every valley and dark place, through every failing. I had a cry deep within that knew the only place for me was in His presence. My heart knew a deep call that was placed there by God Himself ... a calling that couldn't settle for anything less than all of Him.

For years God has burned the vision of David's Tabernacle into my spirit. I never thought that I would actually get to walk it out. He linked that vision with a burning desire to equip and to impart to this generation the knowledge of God's heart and His passionate heart for His bride. All the while, unbeknownst to me, He was preparing me to step into the place of an Intercessory Missionary at East Bay Prayer Furnace.

Through the years prophetic ministers have spoken over my life, you are: "a watchman on the wall", "a worshiper with the heart of David", "He will cause your voice to rise above with a prophetic edge," "You will see powers of darkness broken and you will see deliverance in the land ... and you will see the glory of the Lord spreading like a sea". Many years ago, a prophet spoke that there would come a time that I would begin to add to the finances of our home "through something that came so natural and was so enjoyable that I would be amazed to get paid for it." As God sovereignly opened the door for me to come on staff here at East Bay Prayer Furnace, these prophetic words began to come to my remembrance and to fall into place. And I realized, "THIS is THAT!" He is faithful to fulfill all His word!  

East Bay Prayer Furnace opened in September 2006 and I came on staff early 2007 to serve as a worship leader, singer, and teacher.  We have seen hundreds of youth (and adults) come through our internships through the years, growing and extending their roots into the love of God and finding their place of intimacy through prayer with Him and then being shot out as forerunners in the earth. I have continued to walk in this vision and currently spend approximately 20 hours weekly in the prayer room, praying, leading worship, leading prayer, teaching, and adoring Jesus.

It is vital to have a team of supporters around me who regularly pray and give.  This assignment cannot be done alone. As the Lord leads you, I appreciate your support in prayer and finances as we pour into the next generations.

Thank you for taking time to let me share my heart with you.

For love of the King and the Kingdom,

Karen Brodigan
