NOW, MORE THAN EVER, we need to strengthen our shepherds

 God has been so faithful to the ministry of Strategic Renewal, and we have seen tremendous growth since our humble beginnings in 2000. 

We want to celebrate all that He has done, and is doing, through our efforts. We have seen countless lives changed and encouraged for the Kingdom, yet there is still a tremendous need.

The impact Strategic Renewal is making continues to grow, but we cannot do it alone! Would you consider joining these efforts as a part of our Strengthening our Shepherds initiative, here at the halfway point of 2025? Your gift, of any amount, will equip pastors to lead their churches in prayer-and-word-powered ministry, invigorating a prayer culture in the Church. 

For this year’s 6:7 Day campaign we are seeking to raise $150,000 by June 30th, and it all started on June 7th … 6:7 Day!!

UPDATE: As the Lord would have it, a very generous donor has offered a challenge! Every dollar that you give to this 6:7 Day Campaign will be matched up $100,000!

Which means if the Lord allows us to achieve our goal, $250,000 will be available to Strengthen Our Shepherds in the coming year!

These funds will Strengthen Our Shepherds specifically in Prayer Culture Immersion sponsorships, The Praying Leader Coaching curriculum and execution, as well as other training opportunities to help develop a culture of prayer in 6:4 member churches.

Thank You!

“This experience gave me inspiration as well as practical tools to implement in my personal walk with Christ as well as for my Pastoral leadership of my church.”

Our Shepherds Need Strengthening

A recent, independent study shows:

• Two out of three pastors do not describe prayer as “important to the core of their ministry.”
• 54 percent of churches DO NOT gather at least once a year to pray . . .
• Yet, 65 percent say they have a heart-level conviction around gathering to pray.

Our mission since day one of Strategic Renewal’s existence has been to empower pastors in prayer-and-word-powered ministry. We have seen thousands of pastors trained over the years through coaching, Day of Renewal and RECLAIM events, churches experiencing Scripture-fed, Spirit-led, worship-based prayer through Prayer Summits and Transforming Prayer weekends, and believers worldwide engaging further with Scripture through our Praying the Psalms and other resources.

“In our congregation we are slowly introducing your prayer methods, and it has been life changing for lots of people already, really without fully diving in. We have been moving forward with the “you are worthy we are needy” method and we definitely seeing God move in big ways.” 

With your support Strategic Renewal will be enabled to continue to:

Sponsor strategic young seminarians and church planters to Start Well; Lead Well; Finish Well! through our Prayer Culture Immersion Experience, where they will taste and see, first hand, the difference between a church with a culture of prayer and simply a church that prays.

Those selected through our application process will receive:

• An all-expense paid trip for a foundational educational experience as they are starting in ministry
• Experience a vibrant prayer culture in a 6:4 church, such as The Brooklyn Tabernacle
• Intentional training on prayer from The 6:4 Fellowship staff
• Practical application of the tried and true rhythms of scripture-fed, Spirit-led, worship-based prayer

“This experience has changed how I approach ministry. I have a burning desire to pastor a house of prayer for all nations and to see the next generation of pastors care more about leading houses of prayer than anything else.” 

With your support Strategic Renewal will be enabled to continue to:

Provide church-changing coaching cohorts that invigorate and inspire pastors to not only pray differently in their own lives and their families, but to lead life-giving prayer in their respective churches.

The overwhelming majority of participants in The Praying Leader Coaching:

• Maintain an active personal prayer life
• Are seeking to build a culture of prayer in their church within the next year
• Feel equipped and confident to lead prayer gatherings at their churches
• Call their churches to corporate prayer at least once a quarter after (re)discovering the patterns and rhythms 6:4 teaches
• Have noticed that this prayer is a primary factor in moving their people towards increasingly bold evangelism.

“This course not only met my expectations, but exceeded it by far, and – for perhaps the first time in my walk with Christ!! – I am truly excited to help those around me experience God’s intended design for prayer! “

Join Us In Prayer

We encourage you to pray with us at 6:07am and 6:07pm every day until the end of the campaign 11:59pm, June 30th. Set your timer and intercede with us for God’s blessing on this campaign, the pastors involved, but most importantly the scores, hundreds, and even thousands of lives that will be affected by these leaders building houses of prayer ! Here are some specifics that, by God’s grace, we would appreciate in your prayers:

• Strategic Renewal will use these funds directly and appropriately to benefit the lives of the pastorate
• The individuals that God has chosen to be blessed by the events and programs supported by this campaign
  • A new understanding, for each of them, of seeking God’s face, instead of just His hand
  • A spark within them to pray fervently and preach boldly as God has designed them to do
  • That these men would, in turn, inspire the surrounding pastors, of their communities to return to the priorities of Acts 6:4
• Feel free to utilize this free sample of 21 Day of Prayer for Your Church Leaders to pray specifics for those who will be impacted by this campaign.
  • You can also find prayer guides from this book in our resource library HERE.
