Intercessory Prayer Ministry

The Intercessory Prayer Ministry functions to provide under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, an environment in which our church can take part in praying for the needs of all people. 1 Timothy 2:1-5 tells us to pray for others . for it is good and pleases God our Savior.

The Bible gives us instances of people praying on behalf of others. For example Exodus 15 tells us that Moses went before God and prayed on behalf of the Hebrew people. Next, we read that Jesus prayed for Peter in Luke 22:32, He prayed for those who crucified Him in (Luke 23:24) , and He prayed for those who would believe in Him in the future (John 17). Finally, Acts 12:1-18 tells us that after Peter was imprisoned the saints earnestly prayed to God for his release. While the people were still praying, God performed a miracle and released Peter from jail.

The pastor and the congregation are prayed for during our Sunday morning service. The ministry also schedules and coordinates the prayer services and intercedes for people needing prayer.

We believe, and know that prayer can change people's lives, as evidence by various Bible and everyday accounts/testimonies. Sometimes praying and interceding for others takes patience, persistence, and determination - but most of all it takes Faith, Hope, and Love.
