What would happen if every United Methodist in North Georgia fully claimed their heritage as a people of Prayer?
How would God honor our prayers if every member of every church made a commitment to pray for the churches of North Georgia and the unchurched in our communities on a regular basis?
How would God bless His church if there was a grassroot movement of laity and clergy, men and women, youth and senior citizens, every race and tongue, began praying for one another every day. The answer to these questions is in God’s hands. Seeking to be a part of that answer and seeking after revival for our churches and all United Methodists in North Georgia is the purpose of the PrayerForce.
The PrayerForce prays for revival in our churches. We pray for the unchurched. We pray for specific churches and their ministries. We pray for our pastors. We pray every week for God’s guidance and blessing. We lead workshops on prayer and teach prayer to any group who desires to build a stronger prayer ministry.
Each week, a list of churches is sent to PrayerForce members via email. All members are encouraged to pray for the churches listed from their district as well as other churches where God leads. The list is posted via the "Weekly Prayer" link on the Home page on this website.
In addition to praying for these specific churches and the unchurched in their communities, PrayerForce members are asked to contact these churches to let them know of your prayers! (This can be via e-mail or by card) Can you imagine the impact 50 to 100 or more prayers could have on a pastor and their church? Knowing that people all over the conference are praying for you is an incredible blessing!
PrayerForce members have the chance to lift up any new churches that are being started as well as coaching struggling churches who are threatened with closing. Let’s bathe our churches in prayer and watch God work.
