This workshop on prayer is specifically for the Regional Ministers of NSW/ACT Baptist Churches. So often the practice of prayer seems like an enigma to many Christians. We know we should do it, we want to do it, we know the theory about why it’s so important, and yet actually praying so often eludes us. This practical workshop will be a focussed time of prayer broadly split into three 50 minute sections on:
- Praising God
- Asking God
- Thanking God
The goal is to lift the prayer temperature amongst our churches by modelling it as ministers and leaders across the NSW/ACT Baptist Churches.
In this time of prayer together we will endeavour to:
- Lift the awareness and value of prayer
- Provide some initial training & teaching around prayer
- Spend some time intentionally praying together as a team of regional ministers
The practical nature of the workshop aims to set a spiritual tone and allow room for the Holy Spirit to work during the remainder of the time the team of NSW/ACT Regional Ministers have together between July 19-21, 2016.
We will close by raising the question around a prayer strategy for churches – What does a prayer strategy look like for our churches?
We will provide opportunities for ongoing dialogue/prayer/discernment around these via the Gen1K Prayer Network and other NSW/ACT Baptist supports that are available.
