"My house shall be
called a house of prayer…." - Jesus
Today a growing number
of churches are sensing a need to develop a broad-based prayer strategy
covering every aspect of their ministry.
As we reach the end of our human resources we discover that only with
God's help can we successfully hold back the in-roads of evil in cities,
communities, and culture.
In addition,
it is only through prayer-empowered ministry that we can penetrate Satan's
kingdom of darkness and take possession of lives and territory for God.
ROL acknowledges that
prayer is not well understood by Christians in general and not well utilized
throughout the work of the church.
People need to be equipped with information and experiential training to
adequately support the work of the church in prayer.
Those in ROL's prayer transformation team have taken on the
responsibility of offering this training and we provide various venues for
intercessory prayer, enlisting the congregation and supporting ROL's ministries
through covering them in prayer.
ROL's prayer
transformation team is developing and implementing a well-rounded prayer
strategy.
Are you interested in receiving such equipping; is intercession one of your
passions?
You can contact Phil St.
Louis a long term elder
at ROL and the co-leader of the Prayer Transformation Team.

"When Jesus stated that His house should be a "house of
prayer" (Matthew 21:13) He was affirming a very basic reality about our relationship
with God. He was declaring that intimacy with the Father was the core of all our
interaction with God, and that prayer is our communications channel that
informs us, encourages us, empowers us, directs us, protects us—and at the same
time expresses our love for all God has done for us." - Steve Loopstra
