We are now in the 7th year of the active prayer ministry of our church. Members of our group often tell Charlene all their experiences during their prayer times. Members often speak of moments of a deeper closeness to our Father and peace in their hearts. Members have also said that they believe that the church body has grown in unity and love since the ministry began.
Today, Charlene is asking you to prayerfully consider becoming a prayer warrior with us. It has been our hope to have at least two people praying each day of the month. This way, if someone has to miss their "prayer day", someone else will still cover that day. You choose your own day, and you can pray at any time and for any duration. One day each month is not too much of a burden for any of us.
A blessing awaits you when you join this ministry. For the next few weeks there will be testimonies from prayer warriors in your bulletin. Who knows? Maybe their words will compel you to consider joining the prayer ministry team. There is always a place in the prayer room for you. If you are interested, please contact Charlene and she will assign you a day.
Prayer Warrior Testimony # 2
Prayer is an important part of a Christian's life. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. I have prayed many fast and silent prayers. And, yes, I believe that God does hear those prayers too. However, I enjoy when my assigned day rolls around for me to come to the prayer room at Bunker Hill Baptist Church. This is a place where it is quiet, peaceful, and I can meditate, read a devotional if I choose, praising and thanking God for his blessings. In the quietness of that little room, I can confess my sins, pray for those that have voiced a special request for prayer, pray for those on our prayer list, and pray for our church to grow and reach out to those that are lost. I can pray for our country and its leaders too. I have gained insight from the remarks left by other prayer intercessors. Praying is talking to God, asking for help in solving our problems, our fears, our pain, and always remembering to ask God to lead us and guide us in our daily lives. Each time, I leave from praying in that little room set aside as the Prayer Room at the church, I feel closer to God and feel calmness on the inside. Prayer does make a difference!
