Dear Pastors and Prayer Leaders,
I want to challenge you to commit to a year of prayer. What would happen if churches from all denominations and locations spent a year with prayer front and center? More than we can ask or even imagine!
You don’t have to preach every sermon on prayer. Just make prayer the framework into which everything else fits. Have prayer adventures! Do prayer experiments!
Among the resources we have put together are several that you can use during Wednesday evening services. In talking to hundreds of pastors, I have heard it over and over: “I don’t know how to move Wednesday evening from being Bible study to being prayer!” I think we can help!
To further equip you to become a church or ministry with a strong prayer focus, The Praying Life Foundation is partnering with The Praying Pastor’s Project. Click here to learn more.
I long to see the church become the prayer force God means it to be. How about you?
In Christ,
Jennifer Kennedy Dean
