"Again,
I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything
you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
Matthew 18:19
The prayer team is a group of members of
our church body who agree to dedicate time to praying specifically
for the prayer requests that we gather during the Sunday morning
worship service.
We believe that Jesus taught in His sermon
on the mount to "Ask, seek, and knock in prayer. Prayer
is asking or petitioning the Father for the things we need.
He knows that we need them and provides all that we need out
of His glorious riches. Prayer is seeking intimacy and oneness
with the Father, getting to know His voice as sheep know the
voice of their shepherd. Prayer is knocking, asking the Father
to transform an individual, family, church, community, or
nation. Knocking is asking Jesus to open doors in peoples
lives that only He can open.
We believe in Jesus' model of persistent
prayer. The first is the parable of the persistent neighbor
in Luke 11. The second is the parable of the widow and the
unjust judge in Luke 18.
If you would like the prayer team to pray
for you, contact us by filling out a prayer card during our Sunday morning worship service, email or call 630.231.2062 and someone will direct you to our prayer
team.
If you would like to be a part of the prayer team call Bob Voigts (630-416-6391) or email.
