As I write this, I am sitting in Buffalo, NY, in the midst of a prayer
weekend at local church. Actually it is the church i went to while I
was in graduate school 25 years ago. Now a church of 600 plus, God is
at work . . . and prayer is on the forefront of what they do.
Friday
night, we held a concert of prayer. Not a lot were in attendance (about
45), but it was a powerful time. What was very exciting to me was the
response of the senior pastor. Because he wanted all his people to see
the dynamic way we prayed, and because the church was soon going to
lanuch a church plant just off the campus of the State University of
New York at Buffalo, Jon asked me if I would lead the entire church
--all four weekend services--in a prayer time that focused on the church
plant.
More and more churches are understanding that if people
won't come to prayer, why not take prayer to the people--they are using
the Sunday morning worship service for moments of powerful corporate
prayer.
On Monday night, September 22, (8:30 PM EST) I will be
sharing in the CPLN teleseminar, some ideas on creative ways to bring
prayer into a worship service. It is open to anyone. Simply call
1-712-432-0232 and use pass code 2756#
to join in.
We also want to encourage you to check out our fall
line-up of regional conferences--held in San Jose, CA, Terre Haute, IN,
Myerstown, PA and Massillon, OH. Click here for information.
