Prayer

 

  A ministry  of unceasing prayer and praise established by intercessors being wiling to pray an hour a week. They pray for a list of needs for various, both local and international, that change monthly. 
 
In Isaiah 62:6-7, "And as the Bridgegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.  I have set watchman on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth."

These words demonstrate a unique balance between humans' intercession and God's sovereignty.  During the years when Israel had remained silent before the Lord, the enemy had consumed everything for which the Israelites had worked.  Their silence was evidence that they had a self-sufficient attitude, having forgotten the Lord's powr and provision.  Once they accepted their appointment, God committed to protect them from their enemies.  It is obvious today that our congregations' families and single need this kind of protection.  Without God's protection we have a problem.  The enemy is allowed to consume us at the point of our need, and we get weaker while the enemy gets stronger.

Anyone interested in becoming a watchman may call the church.  God is always looking for more watchmen.
  We have people who operate in their spiritual gifts to minister to different needs in our congregation.

A church our size always has people in the hospital who need prayer.  Therefore we have approximately 30 people who work on our hospital team.

There are members who are homebound and/or in nursing homes that we visit monthly.  This team visits, prays and cares for those who are otherwise closed off from the outside world.

There is a Healing team that also visits people who are in need of a physical healing.

We are open to talking with people in our Body who may be interested in this ministry. You can call Becky at 704-793-4740 Ext.441
   Prayer Place is a facility dedicated to prayer, both individuals and groups meet to pray together and do the ministry of prayer.  It is used 7 days a week.  Feel free to come and visit.
     We participate with the AG National Prayer Center having a team of intercessors praying on a hotline for needs around the country.   Those waiting to be involved please contact us.
     Hope and Restoration Ministries is dedicated to deliverance and healing.
     Brave Christian is a discipleship program where people can challenge themselves to grow in prayer, the Word, and their Christian walk.  Emails are sent during the month to encourage you.
