video: opening the gates

All over the Mediterranean this summer, ministry teams have been released as part of Transform 2010. Before the teams were sent, a prayer group went out on the Mediterranean to "open the gates" for God's power to come to that area over the next few months. Travel with them in this video, and remember the Transform 2010 teams in your prayers.
