The Praying Church

Discovering What the Heart Longs for Through Prayer

About this book

Many of us long to see God move mightily in response to our prayers. We've heard of such stories. And some of us have experienced them. But how can we start a prayer ministry at our own church that is biblically based, responsible, and shows sensitive compassion for others?Praying with God's power is not permission to "get weird," launch into "spooky prayers," or alienate the rest of the church. Walking in our authority in Christ can be done with established ministry protocols that enhance your own church culture. The Praying Church shows us how to build safe, sustainable, team-based ministries of prayer that deepen our trust in each other and ensure that God, alone, gets the glory. Salas shares accounts from his own journey of spiritual formation--from saying "anemic" prayers to declaring life-giving words of blessing and power, ushering him into a deeper intimacy with God that his heart has always longed for. The biblically solid approach in The Praying Church honors theologically conservative traditions while embracing individuals no matter where they are in their faith journey.
