[FamilyofGod] When the Church fails to pray! :-(
dear FG brethren,
Of all the ministries at my home church of 17 years, Calvary Chapel/Honolulu:
I notice that the ones involving intercessory prayer for Pastor Bill Stonebraker and the rest of the staff, the congregation and any Gospel-sharing and Kingdom-building outreach has the least number of members. Not only that, whenever one of the ladies who's in charge of the Women's Prayer Ministry calls a prayer meeting every Sunday morning before the services, the same three or four women show up--and, yes, that includes me. Why is prayer so neglected in the Church today? Can any of you please share your story of how it is being grossly downplayed at your own home churches too? Goodness gracious, I sure hope that it's not only happening here because my pastor and his wife are big-time prayer warriors, as are the associate pastors and their wives and the church staff! This is terribly disturbing to me! That's why I'm so thankful to God for moving upon George's heart to launch Family Of God!!!
in Christ my True Everything,
Jolene.
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.--Psalm 28:7 (NASB)
