The third millennium of humankind
is experiencing another Divine call to prayer. People are seeing that
the Great Commission cannot be completed without fervent, effective
prayer. While leaders must be careful not to program prayer there is a
widespread call for help with the principles of biblical prayer. The
entire SBC is mobilizing to respond to this call for help through a Great Commission Prayer
Ministry.
Great Commission Prayer Conferences are designed to assist
believers with the training and resources needed to develop a
comprehensive prayer strategy for applying the Great Commission in
their congregation.
Three strategy components include:
Renewing a personal passion to pray unceasingly (1
Thess. 5:17),
Reclaiming the church as a house of prayer with a passion for
lost people (Matt. 21:13 and Luke 19:10), and
Linking believers to pray for evangelism and awakening (2
Chr.
7:14).
Practical
application of biblical principles about:
- Developing effective and biblical prayer
- Developing a comprehensive prayer ministry for your unique
situation
- Developing focused evangelistic prayer for harvesters and lost
people
- Developing prayer initiatives
Individual conferences include nationally known speakers and
practitioners of biblical prayer.
Seminar topics are determined by the needs
of the region and may include: Seven keys to prayer, Taking Prayer to
the Streets, Spiritual warfare, Neighborhood Houses of Prayer,
reclaiming a personal passion for prayer, reclaiming the church as a
house of prayer with a passion for lost people, Experiencing God,
Fresh Encounter, Praying for missionaries, and International call to
prayer.
GCPC’s are created in cooperation with the association, State
Convention, Lifeway, IMB, and WMU under the leadership of the prayer
evangelism unit of NAMB. For more information contact your state
evangelism director or PE at 770
