PRAYER MINISTRY

What is Prayer?

Prayer is communicating with God. More than just "talking to God," prayer involves our friendship with Him, and like with any friend, sometimes we talk, sometimes we listen, and sometimes we just enjoy each other's company!

Why is Prayer Important?

All Biblical ministry is based on prayer and fasting, which will bring a knowledge of God's will and the empowerment to fulfill His purposes on the earth. Sustained, fervent, unified prayer will increase a passion to reach the harvest on the peninsula by promoting the unity and involvement of the Body of Christ on the congregational and city level.

Statement of Purpose:

To provide prayer coverage for individuals, families, the local church, nation(s), and our world.

To provide prayer coverage for ministers and ministry leaders of the local church and beyond.

To provide training in the models/types of prayer so that every one may find their ministry of prayer in order to fulfill the Great Commission.

Building a House of Prayer:

Church A is a church that hardly recognizes the importance of prayer to its ministry. It gives lip service by opening meetings in prayer and holding special prayer meetings from time to time for important issues. There may even be a few people praying for the church and its ministries, but they are not specifically given requests and are not recognized as a ministry of the church.

Church B recognizes that prayer is important. It wants to see needs prayed for and wants to provide dedicated intercessors with a place to plug in. It recognizes prayer as a ministry of the church, much like youth or music. People who have an inner burden for prayer are involved, but not many others.

Church C believes that nothing lasting will happen apart from prayer. It believes that prayer needs to permeate every ministry of the church. Every ministry must be prayed for, and prayer must be a significant part of each ministry. Virtually everyone in the church gets involved in prayer.

Core Values for Building a House of Prayer:

We believe that persistent prayer will bring the knowledge of God's will and an empowerment to fulfill His will. "the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much." James 5:16 (NKJV) We believe that prayer will change us both individually and corporately as the Body of Christ; which will cause His presence to affect those around us.
