Prayer Ministry
Ministry Focus
Our Prayer Ministry is devoted to cultivating a rich prayer life and connecting with God. Rooted in the scriptures, we draw inspiration from passages such as Philippians 4:6-7:
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Ministry Purpose
The Prayer Ministry is driven by a commitment to deepen our communication with God and support one another in prayer. Our purposes are guided by the following biblical principles:
Edification
We seek to uplift and encourage all members through fervent prayer, recognizing the transformative power of prayer in our lives. Colossians 4:2 inspires our focus on persistence and devotion:
"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."
Intercession
Aligned with the teachings of 1 Timothy 2:1-2, we engage in intercessory prayer for the needs of our community and beyond:
"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."
