The times are changing, but increasingly prayer will be the power supply and the fuel for effective ministry. Those who use it wisely and often will find their God-given goals reached and will be victorious in the spiritual battles they encounter. Where is your church strong in prayer? Where is it weak? Just as Jesus modelled prayer to his disciples, we must lead the way in implementing prayer in our church ministries.

As we read the Bible, God often puts His finger on specific areas of our lives where He wishes to change us, encourage us or teach us.

Praying for Missions and Missionaries

Jesus commanded us to pray for more workers: “Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.”
