Prayer Support For Our Church

A Guideline For Special Days of Prayer & Fasting For Local Churches

Please Consider Establishing A Regular Day of Prayer and Fasting at YOUR Church

Include in your prayers for the our church's ministry that:

• Each of us will experience personal revival and a deeper commitment to Christ and His church.
• Everyone professing to know Christ will experience His fullness and live the Holy Spirit filled and controlled life. Ephesians. 5:18, 4:13, & 3:13-21
• All who made commitments to attendance, tithing, soul-winning, various group involvements, and use of spiritual gifts will experience the joy, peace, and growth resulting from their faithfulness to God and the church.
• Each ministry will be maintained, strengthened, and increased, becoming more effective.
• More of our congregation will be involved in ministry.
• New ministries will be initiated as God provides leadership and resources.
• Our church will experience its greatest period of worship, unity, harmony, fellowship, maturity, and outreach ever.
• This spirit of revival and renewal in our church will result in multitudes in our area and around the world being brought to Christ and discipled for Him.

For specifics, it is very helpful to refer to a current Sunday bulletin and prayerfully review its lists of ongoing programs, special events, and people serving the church, asking and allowing God's Spirit to direct your intercessory praying.

A Day of Prayer And Fasting For Our Church

Our Sanctuary will be open for prayer all day beginning at 7:30am. Our archenemy, Satan, detests prayer and fasting, but God honors this combination. God's strategy of fasting and prayer must be used to win battles for our Lord and soundly defeat the powers of darkness.
