(We first learned about this in Brigada.org) Every church plant team has the opportunity, and responsibility, to build prayer into the DNA of the new congregation. Church planting pastors should learn from those colleagues who have realized the importance of prayer and are struggling to change an already set church culture.
Our Lord has never commanded us to build a house of preaching and certainly not a house of programs. But He has passionately made it clear that He expects us to become households of prayer for all nations (ethne’). This requires:
Every strategy to be prayer-birthed
Every ministry to be prayer-based
Every activity to be prayer-bathed…
James O. Fraser, “I believe it will only be known on the last day how much has been accomplished in overseas missions by the prayers of earnest believers at home.”
