Martha Grace Reese’s research on evangelism in mainline churches found that churches that do outreach well and that are growing highly value and deeply practice prayer. Being a vital congregation is all about prayer and opening ourselves to the breaking in of the Holy Spirit.
This workshop will focus on creating a breakthrough prayer initiative in each congregation. Participants will be inspired by testimonies of how the Spirit is moving in churches that have engaged in breakthrough prayer, and they will leave with an action plan for developing a breakthrough prayer initiative in their own churches.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This is the first required training event for MCCI pastors and churches. The pastor(s) and five unpaid leaders should attend this event. It is also open to other church teams in our conference as a means of fueling a prayer movement throughout the Dakotas Conference.
