Helping Together in Prayer

"You are helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many." (2 Corinthians 1:11)

Paul is writing to the Corinthian church. While he traveled on those early missionary journeys, those who stayed behind and those in the church helped by praying. Paul and his companions were thankful for the prayer covering, as they faced hardship and death many times. The people they reached were thankful, because they heard the good news of Christ and believed. Even those who prayed were thankful, as Paul reported back to them what God was doing.

God never intends for us to work in isolation. Throughout Paul's journeys, you can see many people participating in the mission through giving, community, and prayer.

Prayer is the thing that really runs and empowers ministry. Prayer affects real change in all of us. That's why we pray over every child by name. That's why we ask that you join us in prayer for the children, the ministry, the teachers, staff, and for the community.
