Prayer changes things. But more importantly, prayer changes us and, in turn, God is able to use us to affect change around us for His glory. Nothing we do in our Senior Saints ministries is more important than prayer. We must, as leaders, continually motivate people to personal, intimate communion with God.
Corporate prayer is also very important.
Throughout the Bible we see God's people coming together for the purpose of prayer. Since the most important ministry within Senior Saints is our prayer effort, I, along with my office staff, begin each morning with a time of prayer. Sometimes our volunteers will also come by early in the morning to join us in our time with the Lord. Our recently established Prayer Chain reaches, within minutes, approximately 250 of our people and sets in motion a chain of prayer for those serious needs among our people. Beginning in September, we will be expanding our weekly group prayer meeting to incorporate many more people and allow more time for prayer.
