prayer

So what is prayer?  Put simply, prayer is conversation with God; however, many times prayer is approached as a “means to an end.”  Crying out, clenched fists full of carpet and tears watering the floor.  We often cry out for things essential to life, or sometimes it’s a longing to experience and know God more.  But when a feeling is achieved, a need is met or an experience is attained…the prayer faucet is turned off.  While God loves us and loves us coming to Him, the interaction He invites us to is one of intimacy.  In other words, He didn’t create us for the happenstances that can so easily shake the resolve of our prayer life.  Rather, He made us for a relationship with Him that thrives in the secret place, regardless of the uneven terrains of human existence.  In other words, prayer (intimacy with God) is the end.

When we say that we are a prayer-based ministry, we mean that first and foremost we are dedicated to the place of intimacy with God.  Any training or evangelism that we do, is done out of the place of prayer.  We are very involved with 24-7 prayer (click here to learn more), and are dedicated to forming Christ-like community in life and ministry.
