Ukraine - If God did it before and He can do it again!

Published on: 1st March, 2022

I’m sure you are all aware of the nightmare happening in Ukraine. There is truly evil that is at work in the world and we are seeing that fully displayed. Keep all the political leaders in prayer including our president. The human condition is truly fragile and desperately in need of the protection, restoration and renovation.

If God did it before He can do it again. 

As I prayed about this situation in Ukraine I was reminded by the Lord about the similar circumstances that the Allies faced in WW2. If you haven’t read the book titled ‘REES HOWELLS INTERCESSOR’ by Norman Grubb, you will be incredibly challenged and strengthened in your faith. 

Rees Howell was a key figure in the Welsch revival of the early 20th century and went on to lead a profoundly effective prayer and intercession movement throughout WW2. I wanted to share an account of how God moved through Rees and his group that dramatically affected the outcome of key battles in WW2. This account of just 1 instance will encourage you that God can and Will work through the prayer and intercession of his people to address the course of human events. We need God to move powerfully in Ukraine and if he did it before he can do it again…

WELCOME TO THE METRON MANAGER PROJECT!
My Name is Jonathan Nowlen and I am the Founder of the Metron Manager Project and the Author of the book titled Managing Your Metron: A Practical Theology of Work, Mission and Meaning.

The Metron Manager Project is all about equipping you to become who you were originally designed to be and find your place in the Kingdom of God.

“I believe that one of the next great moves of God is going to be through the believers in the workplace.”
— BILLY GRAHAM (LATE 2000)

God has given me a vision to be part of what many believe is the next great move of God by launching the Metron Manager Project. I have been fully engaged in the cause of Christ and His Kingdom enterprise for over 25 years. As such I have gained wide experience and perspective on the trajectory of the modern mission effort. As a missionary kid I grew up primarily outside the USA in remote and developing countries. After embracing my own call to serve in missions I began working in the socially and economically devastated regions of the former Soviet Union in the early to mid 1990’s. From there I participated in or led missional efforts from Southeast Asia to South America, and from Europe to Africa, covering 60 countries.

I’ve seen the edges of heaven and walked in the streets of hell. I’ve seen the power of God transform lives and nations through average believers like myself who have chosen to hear and obey. I believe that we are entering a new era of mission in spiritual history. This era is marked by the missionizing of believers in the marketplace. ‘On Mission’ is the new mode of every believer in every sphere of society. My book, Managing Your Metron, launched this Metron Manager Project with the aim of providing a reformational understanding of Work, Mission and Meaning.

The vision of the Metron Manager Project is to provide training, resources and theology that will recover the dignity and mission of vocation. Billy Graham’s prescient statement about the next move of God coming through believers in the workplace is a vision of the future that I and many others believe has now arrived. It is time to rethink mission and the Kingdom of God as a new era is upon us. Spiritual history is demanding a broadening of our understanding of what it means to respond to the Great Commission. (Matthew 28:18-20) I invite you to join in this journey to become a Metron Manager and recover the dignity and mission of your vocation.
