|
There are a number of very good initiatives available for churches to
rally their people toward prayer. Many denominations prepare annual
initiatives, but if you are not a part of a group that provides a
prayer initiative, you can either prepare your own (see Jacquie Tyre's
article below) or we suggest one of the following:
1. Come, Lord Jesus
by Prayer Transformation Ministries. This is a year-long, daily guide
that focuses on Jesus Christ. Your people will go on an incredible
journey of exploration as they pray the characteristic of Jesus into
their lives. $3.00 each. Click here for more information.
2. 40 Days of Prayer.
A complete campaign that uses the popular Love to Pray devotional by
Alvin VanderGriend. This can be done as thoroughly or simply as a
church would desire. Everything to help you plan is included in a 40
Days Resource Kit. Click here for more information.
3. Asleep in the Land of Nod ,
a 30-day prayer devotional that focuses on revival in the church.
Written by Dave Butts, the chairman of America's Naitonal Prayer
Committee and a man whose heart longs to see God revive His church,
this simple guide will get your people's hearts open to more of God in
their lives. $6.00 each, with quantity discounts starting at 2 copies. Click here for more information.
4. Seek God for the City .

Sunday. It has powerful scripture-based things to pray for your church,
community, nation and the world. Available at www.waymakers.org .
