How to Build a Praying Church
The scriptures are brimming with prayer, and church history is both saturated with and shaped by it. Still, many pastors and leaders find it challenging to know where to begin building and sustaining a culture of prayer. We’ve witnessed God’s mighty hand moving powerfully among churches across the United States as they begin to slowly and intentionally build toward nonstop prayer. At 24-7 Prayer, our desire is to offer on-ramps for churches at every stage and in every context to take the next step in their journey.
Across denominations and cultures, we’ve found the following steps fruitful in the slow, steady work of prayer, mission, and justice. Below, you’ll find a few suggestions, steps, resources, and inspiration for every stage of engagement with 24-7 Prayer.
Whether you consider prayer a central part of your current ministry, or aspire to integrate it more fully into the life of your church, 24-7 Prayer USA is honored to walk with you on the journey.
Revival is an unshakable invitation to wake up again to the beauty of Jesus. We can’t force it, but we can ache for it, pray for it, and believe for it to sweep across our universities and colleges so that students taste the nearness of God in a way that changes them forever. And when they do, they carry that fire into their generation, telling the story of Jesus with both words and lives set ablaze.
