A CULTURE OF PRAYER<br />

“I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask<br />

for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or<br />

three come together in my name, there am I with them.” (Matt 18.19-<br />

20)<br />

Prayer is a tangible admission that we are dependent on God. It is<br />

perhaps the greatest way to grow in our intimacy with Him through<br />

Christ, and without doubt, the most important thing we do at this<br />

conference.<br />

Take advantage of our time together to pray with one another, pay<br />

attention to God’s presence and His leading, and make space for<br />

prayer throughout the conference.<br />

Here are some prayer opportunities:<br />

• Corporate Prayer during the plenary sessions. These will be led<br />

by people on stage and will give us time to pray for one another.<br />

• Prayer Team. After plenary sessions and throughout the<br />

conference members of the “Prayer Team” are available to pray<br />

for and with you. These are select, trusted, balanced Christians<br />

who will be wearing Prayer Team t-shirts. They have already<br />

been praying for you, and are ready to stand with you as you<br />

respond to God’s word and the Spirit’s conviction.<br />

“…the Spirit helps<br />

us in our weakness.<br />

We do not know what<br />

we ought to pray for,<br />

but the Spirit himself<br />

intercedes for us with<br />

groans that words<br />

cannot express… the<br />

Spirit intercedes for the<br />

saints in accordance<br />

with God’s will.”<br />

“Christ Jesus, who<br />

died--more than that,<br />

who was raised to life-<br />

-is at the right hand<br />

of God and is also<br />

interceding for us.”<br />

(Rom 8:26-27,34)<br />

• Pray with others. Please pray with one another! Pray with those<br />

you already know and those you are meeting for the first time.<br />

We are all discovering what it means to live out the gospel as a<br />

community, and it is almost never inappropriate for us to pray<br />

for one another.<br />

We look forward to hearing how God has met you at the conference,<br />

how he used you in the lives of others, and how He used others to<br />

speak to you.<br />

“Ask and it will be<br />

given to you; seek and<br />

you will find; knock<br />

and the door will be<br />

opened to you.”<br />

(Matt 7:7)
