PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH

Lord, I lift up our Men’s Ministry to You. Use this ministry to build our men in their faith. Teach them to be in right relationship to You and each other, to love their wives sacrificially and to instruct their children with patience. Encourage them to hold each other accountable as they carry each other’s burdens. May they speak the truth in love to each other even when its hard. (Jude 1:20; Titus 2:2; 1 Tim. 5:1; Eph. 5:25, 6:4; Gal. 6:2; Eph. 4:15; Prov. 27:6)

Christian Chapel Temple of Faith, pastored by Dr. Jerome McNeil (a keynote speaker at Empowered 2007), is a praying church. It weaves moments and seasons of prayer throughout its Sunday morning worship service. This past Sunday (January 21st) its youth pastor did a powerful prayer thing that can be done in any church.

First, he asked the children and teens to come down to the altar area at the front of the church. Then he had David Butts (chairman of America's National Prayer Committee and president of Harvest Prayer Ministries, the CPLN's parent ministry) and his wife Kim, pray blessings over the group of kids. But it didn't stop there. They happened to be visiting the church. You can simply have your senior pastor pray for them.

Next he handed every child a 31-day prayer guide for parents to pray for their children. He told the kids (with of course the parents listening) to go back to their parents, give them the guides and ask their parents to use the guides to pray for ther children. A little shameless guilt tactic that I am sure will work.

You may want to try something like that. You can get the prayer guide, "31 Biblical Virtues to Pray for Your Kids" (Pray!) at our member store.  They are sold in packs of 50 or individually. Or make a guide of your own.
