“PRAYERTRIST” Prayer Ideas and Initiatives from other Churches:
“We have corporate prayer on Wednesday pm; we also have a designated Intercessory Prayer time each Thursday, all afternoon. This is open to anyone needing prayer and for a core of prayer people to be there. The most recent new step is to have a prayer team of 3-4 people praying throughout the service in strategic parts of the building. Before service we pray through the halls and meeting hall, then we pray as we sense His leading through the service. It is wonderful to see the prayer warriors eagerly committing to this.” (shared by Gail Kerr November 27/18)

In this revised and updated edition of the classic bestseller, you will discover an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to developing a rich prayer life–moving from one-way communication to God to two-way conversations with your Father. As you develop your ability to hear God and discern His voice.

Cultivating a Culture of Prayer
Given the decline of many churches and the moral unraveling of our nation the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, along with some other national ministries in Canada, felt the need to ignite more prayer in our nation. So, they organized several worship and prayer gatherings across the nation and called them “Ignite”. In the afternoon they provided excellent teaching for pastors and leaders entitled, “Cultivating a Culture of Prayer”. If you would like to view these excellent teaching videos by Ray & Fran Duerksen, Jason Matta, and Jacob George, they are available at https://www.evangelicalfellowship.ca/Ignite-4
