To build this trust the church needs to provide opportunities for people to interact with one another informally, to share with one another their joys and sorrows, to help one another through assistance and care, to pray for the trials and difficulties that each face. They provide people with avenues to build trust as they learn to appreciate each other. Strengthen corporate prayer. People who pray together stay together. Prayer enhances unity, it transforms attitudes, it encourages mutual concern, it builds trust and it moves God.
Corporate prayer binds people and becomes an expression of people's love for others.
While this might appear to be a paradox, it remains true. If a church desires to become marked by love and instill love within the congregation, it needs to focus upon corporate prayer. Provide care for people in crisis. No matter who a person is, where he might live, the social status and economic prosperity he might enjoy, he is not immune to suffering. It strikes unpredictably, showing no favoritism to any, and comes unexpectedly.
