HOW DOES PRAYER MINISTRY CONTRIBUTE TO DISCIPLE MAKING AND BUILDING COMMUNITIES?

Jesus began his mission with prayer, and this is also depicted in the upper room experience in the book of Acts where His disciples prayed for a number of days before embarking on the work God had in store for them.

EM Bound states that “What the Church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men  and women whom the Holy Ghost can use  men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men - men of prayer”.

The prayer department vision

  • Is to equip and encourage members to have a daily dialogue with their saviour both young and old

  • Every Child to have a daily prayer life

  • All young people and children to be actively involved in daily leading out during family worship

Prayer across SEC Departments

Prayer days for Children

  • Should be redefined, it should be a day enriched for prayer, children being blessed and recommitted to Christ

  • Including our young people in the prayer department

Conducting daily, weekly and monthly intercessions for the mission of the Conference

  • My vision is every Pastor should have a prayer day in their churches, where people battered by problems can run to

  • All Elders and departmental leaders to be actively involved in the prayer departments of their churches

Return to the Bible

  • Encourage all Church members including children to lead out in prayers  and newly baptised, also visitors to be involved

  • Every Church to have a safe area for training others in building a strong prayer life which will build individual confidence to have a personal relationship with god

  • Young people involvement in Prayer Ministry

Encourage Prayer teams

  • Praying mums

  • Praying Dads

  • Single mums/dad

  • University students prayer groups for areas

Praying for the Church Administration

  • Prayer departments are not there for prayer days only, they are for all days, they should be a day for praying for different departments in the Churches

  • Calling Pastors and praying for them is the responsible of the Prayer coordinator and their team

  • Calling different departments and praying for them

  • Keeping an eye for the lonely, bereaved, those who are sick in the community, pray with them, and arrange visits.

Starting Children Prayer line

  • Children involvement in prayer, starting in the home, churches and even in the conference events

  • I would like to strengthen the Prayer lives of children

  • We would like to meet the young people emotional needs to prepare them to have a good relationship with God
