At the center of pastoral ministry is shepherding. Pastors carry with them on a daily basis the blessing and burden of this core element of ministry: to consider and care for the souls of their flock. For millennia, the wisest pastors have continually relied on prayer and ministry of the Word (Acts 6:4) in order to shepherd faithfully.

Likewise, every congregation harbors disciples who are eager to grow in their walk with Christ, as well as to support their pastor. These spirit-filled individuals are looking for meaning and purpose in their church life and are prepared to devote themselves to worthwhile duties.

The key for both the pastor and these eager, supportive disciples is the same: activating a culture of prayer in their church. The How to Activate a Prayer Culture in Your Church Guide is a powerful discipleship tool and also a growth engine for ministry. When a church possesses a culture of prayer, everything changes. 

For the disciples in your church who are eager in their support as well as their desire to grow, this guide will serve as a valuable and practical resource. 

The simple fact of the matter is that your most eager congregants don’t need a program to satisfy their willingness to serve. They need an intentional and manageable commitment forward. The How to Activate a Prayer Culture in Your Church Guide is not a program or a prescription, it is a pathway into meaningful connection with God and service to the church. 

So many congregants hesitate to initiate ideas, or volunteer their commitment, for fear that they will burden their pastor or be left feeling unfulfilled in their activity. The How to Activate a Prayer Culture in Your Church Guide assuages both of these reservations. 

Built with a strong emphasis on visual storytelling, the content is filled with practical, engaging, and inspiring insights. Each key idea and step forward is powerfully illustrated, so that participants can visualize their next step on their journey of prayer. The guide is designed to show you what a healthy prayer culture looks like. 

When prayerful pastors equip devoted disciples to carry a prayer culture forward, the potential to transform entire congregations is unlocked. 

The How to Activate a Prayer Culture in Your Church Guide is a straightforward, theologically-anchored resource that will bring deep fulfillment to a pastor’s most willing and eager disciples. 

Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be releasing a series of blogs that will help pastors ensure they are maximizing the impact of the How to Activate a Prayer Culture in Your Church Guide within their own congregations. 

The first blog focuses on the first 30 days of launching a prayer movement. This crucial period at the onset will identify the most common barriers to expect and will help pastors develop a keen frame of success centered on a strong foundation. By emphasizing small and faithful steps at the beginning, a culture shift is possible down the road. We will highlight how the first four weeks of a prayer movement possess milestones for the pastor and key disciples to identify and target.

In the second blog, we will highlight the small but important shifts that can transform your church’s prayer life. Again, this piece will reinforce for pastors how this guide does not promise a program designed for a quick fix.
