Serving in Your Church Prayer Ministry

In Serving in Your Church Prayer Ministry, part of the Zondervan Practical Ministry Guides series, seminary professor and church consultant Charles E. Lawless provides pastors, lay leaders, and prayer teams with an accessible roadmap for cultivating a vibrant, praying congregation. Lawless emphasizes that the supernatural vitality of the early church was grounded in dependent corporate prayer, demonstrating that human programs and planning alone cannot substitute for the movement of the Holy Spirit. This practical handbook guides readers through the essential steps of organizing an intentional prayer ministry, setting spiritual priorities, interceding for leaders, and integrating evangelistic prayer into congregational life. Packed with real-world examples, field-tested advice, and thoughtful discussion questions, this concise guide equips local churches to awaken spiritual passion, foster united intercession, and sustain a culture of persistent, unceasing prayer.
