Prayer Initiative
What is a Prayer Initiative Coordinator?
7 p.m. July 23, Zoom
The Prayer Partner Coordinator oversee and organize the prayer initiative process in the local church. Coordinators play a vital role in this process by being the connecting point between the prayer partners, the local church and those who are being prayed for. In this training we'll go over the process of recruiting prayer partners, how to connect with those who we want to pray by name, how to make these connections safely, what safeguards need to be in place, among other things. We’ll answer more questions and provide you the tools you’ll need to fulfill this role. You can be the sole coordinator on your church, you can create a team, or you can partner with other churches and invite them to participate in this training and to be part of these initiative.

Resources
Throughout the scriptures, we see God calling people to serve their community and giving them the gifts to do it. As a new school year begins, we reflect together on how God has blessed each child, youth and adult with specific gifts with which to bless their community. “The ministry of all Christians in Christ’s name and spirit is both a gift and a task” (para. 129, The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church, 2016). Through living out our own unique calling, we can transform our communities and be a light to the world. Each one of us is indeed blessed by God to be a blessing to others.
