What is Great Commission Praying?
Prayer is foundational to
following Christ's Commission in Matthew 28:18-20. Great Commission Praying
keeps prayer as a priority to everything done in and through the life and
ministry of every believer. It includes a comprehensive
Great Commission Prayer strategy for local and global intercession.
Prayer Evangelism
Unit Purpose:
To lead each Southern Baptist church to
develop a comprehensive plan to become a house of prayer.
Vision:
Our vision is for all SBC and CCSB
churches to be on mission with Christ to pray for and share Jesus with every
person in our sphere of influence.
Objectives:
1. To renew a personal passion for
Jesus through praying unceasingly (1 Thess. 5:17)
2. To reclaim the church as a house of
prayer with a passion for lost people (Mt. 21:13, Lk19:10)
3. To link believers in focused prayer
for evangelism and awakening (Matt 18:18-20; 2 Chronicles 7:14)
Cooperation
To accomplish our vision by cooperating
with churches, associations, state conventions, and Southern Baptist entities
in the development of contextual approaches for prayer and renewal strategies,
methods, and materials. We work closely with the Inter-Entity Prayer Team.
