The Association

Churches Praying for Churches

 

WHAT?

These are volatile times we live in as churches.  The world is shifting and many churches are being caught in the crunch of change and uncertainty.  As a result, a prayer initiative has begun to stand together against the “wiles of the devil.”  The charge is simply churches praying for sister churches in a concerted, cohesive, unified, and a powerful prayer campaign to change the atmosphere over the churches on the South Plains and beyond.

   

James 5:17-18 explains that when Elijah prayed that it literally controlled the “atmosphere” over the land.  The purpose of this prayer initiative is to pray for the “atmosphere” over each church to be impacted for the King’s glory.  

 

WHY? 

Because Jesus said, “My house shall be a house of prayer.”  Matthew 21:13

Because Jesus spoke a parable to them “that men always ought to pray and not lose heart” Luke 18:1.  

 

Hope and joyful expectancy are tied to prayer.  

Because Jesus promised,  “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”  Mark 11:24  

 

HOW?  

Churches spending a minimum of 1% of their joint prayer time each week specifically praying for specific churches in The Association.  At the beginning of each week, an email will be sent to a designated person that will contain two churches and their pastor’s name to pray for that week.  It will also contain any special prayer request that have been received.  The name of the two churches can also be obtained on the LABA website.

​

WHO?  

Churches who choose to participate by sending a request to the LABA office with a point person’s  name, email address, and phone number.
