A Ministry of Harvest Prayer Ministries
August 1, 2017
Dear Phil,

Hard to believe we are in August already. Fall is often a time to launch or relaunch special emphases. This issue of "Prayer Leader Online" focuses on encouraging you and your congregation to pray for local lost people. We hope you enjoy and are challenged by the articles and on target resources we recommend. Feel free to share these articles with others in your church or on your social media pages.
Also a reminder to CPLN members that in about two weeks the price of an annual membership increases. We highly recommend that you renew today to save money. Your subscription will simply be extended a full year from whatever expiration date you currently have.


Blessings,
 
Jon Graf

Taking Prayer out of the Seats into the Streets

Phil MigliorattiBy Phil Miglioratti
 
"It is time to get the people out of their seats and into the streets." That thought scrolled across my mind as a clear and compelling message from the Lord in the late spring of 2005. As interim pastor of the Uptown Baptist Church in Chicago, I was responsible for the Wednesday evening prayer gathering and had been seeking the Lord's direction for our summer months of praying together. His words to me that day would impact the congregation and my approach to prayer more than I realized at the time.

Should We Pray for the Lost? by Jon Graf
 
I have a close friend who believes that we do not need to pray for the lost. His reasoning is that nowhere in scripture does it say that we are to pray for the lost. There are commands to pray for a few things-the peace of Jerusalem, laborers for the harvest, pray for your enemy-but nowhere does it command us to pray for the lost.
I had to gently disagree with my friend, but I can understand a little of his thinking. Nowhere is there a direct command, "pray for the lost," but we pray for a lot of things where there is not a direct command to do so. There are, however, some very clear evidences that Paul prayed for the lost.

A Simple Way to Challenge Your People to Pray for Local Lost
We have two resources that would be excellent to put in the hands of a congregation, small group or Sunday school class to help everyone become more motivated to pray for lost people . . . and to care for them and share Jesus with them, too. We encourage you to check them out if you have not yet done so.
Be Jesus in Your Neighborhood is a 30-day devotional that will inspire people to pray for, care for, and share Jesus with their neighbors. Each day's devotional includes a "Reflect/Act" section that will hone their prayers and give them suggestions of things to do to engage their neighbors. Multiple copy discounts make Be Jesus in Your Neighborhood
accessible to any size congregation.
Regular Price: $8.99
Our Price: $7.99
CPLN Member Price: $6.99
Shine His Light is a 64-page book that explains the power of living a life of praying for a neighborhood. It is written to motivate and empower small groups and congregations to pray for and reach out to neighbors. Churches that use this resource will challenge and equip their people to reach out! While each of these titles stands alone, the idea is to give your congregation Shine His Light, then to do a 30-days of prayer initiative using Be Jesus in Your Neighborhood. Watch what happens in your congregation as you focus on praying and reaching out! Multiple copy discounts are available.
Regular Price: $7.99
Our Price: $6.99
CPLN Member Price: $5.99

    The Benefits of Praying Together

    By Jon Graf
    0b1bc2fa-09df-462a-96c7-077f202e1047.jpg
    I was recently in a small church that for years has struggled to grow beyond sixty people. They are dear, sincere people who want to trust God to use them in greater ways in their community. I challenged them to focus more on Kingdom issues in their prayers (as opposed to just the needs of the congregation).

    In a Facebook chat a few weeks later, the pastor's wife commented that they had tweaked the way they were praying, and a neighbor had prayed to receive Christ that week. A month after this they saw six women pray to receive Christ at a women's event. I will continue to pray for a renewed passion to seek the kingdom as they pray together.
    Despite the fact that many churches do not have significant corporate prayer expressions, most prayer leaders and pastors believe praying together is important. But what are the benefits? There are many benefits, but here are three significant ones.

    God's Name for Us by Dave Butts
    The prayer meeting was to begin at 7:00 pm. So why were people lined up on the sidewalk at 5:00 pm waiting for the doors to the church to open? I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a cold December in Brooklyn, New York, and people were huddled together waiting to come into a prayer meeting. That had not been the case in my previous church prayer meeting experiences! But it was Tuesday night at Brooklyn Tabernacle and it was time to pray.
    By 7:00 pm the building was filled to overflowing capacity.

    A Must Have Set for Every Prayer Leader
    ada565d0-5125-4c9a-8822-5a3c50904dd7.jpgIf you are in the role of helping your church to grow deeper in prayer, than you need to have the Power Pack! What's the Power Pack, you ask?
    These two books will provide encouragement and ideas for growing prayer in your church. They are both excellent resources for prayer leaders, pastors, and elders/deacons/governing boards in a church. They will inspire anyone who reads them that prayer needs to happen in a church. Forgotten Power provides the scriptural why becoming a praying church is important and Restored Power provides the how to. You can purchase each separately or save money and purchase them together in the Power Pack.
    Note: The above articles are chapters from each book.

    Dear Phil,

    As catalysts for prayer in your church, God sometimes uses you in unusual ways. You may be focused on "how can I get more people to our weekly prayer meeting?" But God may be saying focus on raising up prayer among youth, or with men's ministry . . . or even consider what children can do as prayer warriors in your church.
    This issue is a reminder that too often the prayer potential of children is overlooked. Maybe the article and resources will inspire and equip you to enable your children to be a prayer force in your church.

    NOTE: Every church should have someone who is a member of the Church Prayer Leaders Network.  
    The CPLN can connect your church to powerful resources, training and opportunities to grow deeper as a praying church. If you have not joined the CPLN and would like to, click here.

    Kids Can Be Kingdom Intercessors!

    By Jenny Almquist
    3d0337cd-7f1b-4b50-9622-3d3e0b251b6e.jpgWe have all heard it before; kids are a great untapped resource. I believe that is really true. In fact, I think that they are possibly our greatest resource. I have learned over the years that if I can stop long enough to listen, they will often have profound things to say, especially when they are praying. 
    Several years ago I heard the Lord say to me, "Teach the children to pray, and they will teach the church to pray." My immediate response was "Not me Lord, I can't do that--and, I don't want to do that." However, as I sought Him and pressed through my feelings of inadequacy, He empowered me and gave me His strategy.

    Be Inspired and Equipped -- and Save 67%!

    Dear Phil,

    Blessings on you as you seek to grow in prayer and encourage others to desire to connect with Jesus in prayer. My article in this issue explains how prayer makes a believer a model parishoner in your church--one ready to be used by God for His purposes. Also check out our resource special on the untapped potential of children to be prayer warriors. 
    Finally, here is a video tip for you regarding what I have learned about praise. Enjoy.

    Prayer Makes for Good Parishoners -- The Key to Spiritual Growth

    By Jonathan Graf
     
    0b1bc2fa-09df-462a-96c7-077f202e1047.jpgOne important question on the hearts of most church leadership is, Why do some believers grow deeper in their faith and others do not? In the life of any given church many people--probably believers--come year after year, yet they do not display much spiritual growth. In that same church other people--usually a smaller number--will clearly be growing in their walks with God. We would hope these are the ones who hold the elder and leadership positions--although non-growing people often receive those roles because of faithful attendance.

    Leaders in discipleship roles (pastors and teachers) often agonize over how to get believers to grow deeper in their spiritual lives. So what makes the difference? I think the answer is simple: prayer.

    Tap into a Great Prayer Resource in Your Church

    56107ad2-da6c-4bbf-815f-945f0bf5bb3d.jpgChildren can make great prayer warriors. Too often, we overlook them as we work to grow prayer in our church. For the month of April, we are discounting a great resource that will challenge and encourage you as to the effectiveness of children in prayer.Releasing Children to Pray normally sells for $5.00 each. You can buy them for $2.00 each during the month of April. (Buy 10 or more for $1.50 each!) Get them for yourself and for all the children's workers or young parents in your church.

    One of the most important relationships in a church that is tying to become a praying church is the relationship between a prayer leader or prayer team and the pastor and elders. This issue of "Prayer Leader Online" offers some thoughts and suggestions on that important issue.

    10 Qualities a Pastor Needs in a Prayer Leader

    The objective of promoting prayer in the local church will be best served when the senior pastor is in charge. However, except in very small churches, he cannot be successful in promoting prayer by himself. He needs help from a prayer leader/advocate. This person can be in either a formal, paid position or an informal volunteer. In either case, to be successful, the relationship between the senior pastor and the prayer leader/advocate needs to be a smooth one. Here are some things that a senior pastor should look for in that person.

    "Characteristics of a Prayer Leader That Bring Glory to God" is a teaching of CPLN President, Jonathan Graf, that explores 5 spiritual qualities an effective prayer leader needs to possess. It is available both in a DVD and a CD format.

    One of the most powerful things that should happen in the life of a church is having times of corporate prayer--praying together in church settings. Sadly, few churches experience dynamic times of prayer and many have given up trying to improve this important practice. This issue of "Prayer Leader Online" offers a number of helps to improve the corporate prayer in your fellowship. As a prayer leader, pastor, or person interested in prayer, we believe you will be blessed by exploring and reading through these recommended articles and resources.



    5 Biblical Principles of Corporate Prayer

    0b1bc2fa-09df-462a-96c7-077f202e1047.jpgBy Jonathan Graf
    A number of years ago, I was preparing to go to California to facilitate a prayer weekend in a Presbyterian church there. I had been planning the event with their prayer leader and his committee. As we planned, the committee felt that it would be great to have me lead a prayer time in the two morning worship services. They had never really experienced a time where anyone other than a person from the platform would pray in the service.
    This would be an event where I would guide people to pray on a theme in groups. It would be a stretch for their staid people. They presented the idea to their pastor. He balked. We can't make people feel uncomfortable like that, he surmised. He and I talked through what I would do. No one would be forced to pray; I would put some prayer points and a sample prayer on a power point screen; it would only go 3-4 minutes. He finally allowed it.

    Resources to Help Improve Corporate Prayer and Prayer Meetings
    Here are some books and online articles that can help you to better plan and facilitate your times of corporate prayer in your church.

    We all long to see more prayer happen in our church. That is the mission of the Church Prayer Leaders Network and Harvest Prayer Ministries--to help churches become houses of prayer. We hope the material in this issue of "Prayer Leader Online" will stimulate you and better equip you to be a catalyst for prayer in your church.

    While any church can see an improvement in its prayer foundation by simply tweaking existing ministry to include more prayer, the church that wants to see steady improvement will learn it needs to develop a strategy to grow prayer.
    When I help churches develop prayer strategies there are five steps I encourage them to follow.



    ada565d0-5125-4c9a-8822-5a3c50904dd7.jpgJon's article on prayer strategy is actually a much-shortened version on a chapter in his book Restored Power: Becoming a Praying Church One Tweak at a Time. That resource is a sequel to Dave Butts's book Forgotten Power: A Simple Theology for a Praying Church.
    Both of these books are excellent resources for pastors and leadership teams in a church to read and discuss together. They will bring unity to everyone's understanding of why prayer is important in a church and give them insight into steps to take to become a stronger praying church.
    You can purchase these books together at a reduced rate. Plus there are multiple copy discounts available. Currently, if you buy the books together in our Power Pack, you will also receive a free copy of the powerful booklet "Living in the Upper Room: Permeate Your Church with a Culture of P...
    If you can only purchase one book, we recommend starting with Forgotten Power, the first book in the series.

I also want to encourage you to check out two opportunities we have to offer you--a prayer event for your church and a unique trip to Israel!
    Please take a few moments and read through this helpful material. We pray for you regularly, that prayer will grow in your church!

    Creating a Prayer Bubble over Your Church

    Kim ButtsBy Kim Butts
    Sunday mornings are undoubtedly the times of the greatest spiritual attack individuals and families face each week. We have all heard in our churches the stories of those trying to get to church on time: fighting amongst siblings, mystery stains on clothing, sudden sickness, shoes getting lost, arguments among spouses, etc. Pastors, staff, church leaders, teachers, etc. are not immune either!

    Pray Where Jesus Prayed!

    Dear Phil,

    A new year often encourages a fresh start. This is true of efforts to make prayer foundational in churches as well. We want to help you take stock of where your church is regarding prayer. This issue of "Prayer Leader OnLine" offers a benchmark to compare your church against (12 Indicators of a Praying Church). Don't be discouraged by it, but look for the positives where your church is doing well. Also consider areas that you can focus on in 2017 to grow deeper in your church's efforts to be a house of prayer.

    Be watching for new things from CPLN/HPM as well. A new website is coming soon and increased, but more practical emails targeted to your interests, are coming as well. A major change with our new website--a large section on growing prayer in the local church is being developed . . . but it will only be open to CPLN members. It will become very important to officially join the CPLN to gain access to this helpful section.
     

    12 Indicators of a Praying Church

    b25026c9-e724-4457-a723-e1d94b375ab6.jpgBy Carol Madison
    I enjoy getting together once a month with a group of men and women who are just like me: they lead the prayer ministries in their churches and are eager to connect with others of like mind, heart, and assignment. We share resources, exchange ideas for prayer initiatives, and pray together. We try to stay apprised of the various local and national calls to prayer so that we might invite our congregations to participate.

    Yet we are different in our emphases. Justin is particularly passionate about mentoring and mobilizing men in his church to pray with a worship focus. Valerie has developed an effective drive-through prayer ministry in her community. Andrea oversees a ministry that helps people with healing kinds of prayer. I am especially engaged in mentoring a younger generation in prayer.

    Whenever someone shares an idea or successful prayer initiative, I think to myself, Hey, we should do that. Any of these prayer ideas and initiatives would enhance my church's prayer ministry. But as the director of prayer ministries, I have the responsibility of launching prayer initiatives that best fit our congregation-initiatives that God confirms He wants us to do.
     

    Get Everyone on the Same Page with Prayer 
    ada565d0-5125-4c9a-8822-5a3c50904dd7.jpgOne of the difficult things in growing prayer in a church is that often leadership is not together on what needs to happen . . . and why. We recently released two books that are must-reads for elders/deacons, pastors, and prayer leaders. Forgotten Power and Restored Power will get everyone on the same page, working together to grow prayer. Forgotten Power explores the why of prayer. It provides a simple, but thorough, theology of prayer that your elder/deacon board needs to understand in order to fully support prayer in your church. Restored Power provides the basic "how tos." It shows simple things you can do in key areas--discipleship, worship, etc--to steadily work toward becoming a house of prayer. We encourage you to buy copies for all your leaders, and then read and discuss them together. Buy them separate or in ourPower Pack (special price).

    Dear Phil,

    It is hard to believe that we are less than six weeks away from the U.S. elections. Probably due to the choices we have, there is a growing groundswell of prayer for the nation. . . and I believe it will continue to rise even after the elections. As people's uncertainly and desperation increases,prayer will increase as well.

    0b1bc2fa-09df-462a-96c7-077f202e1047.jpgAs a prayer leader, you will want to be ready for this increase. Should special prayer meetings be called? Can you put good resources in the hands of those from your church or prayer group? We are excited to offer a new online prayer guide, "Prayers for First Responders," for you to use. You can currently copy it or share it online, but in a few months we will also have a nicely designed version for sale in packs of 50.
     
    We are also excited to finally launch my new book,Restored Power. More information is in this newsletter, including a link to read a chapter and a link for purchase information. This is an excellent resource for prayer leaders, pastors and church elders or deacons.

    Recently I attended the events in Washington, D.C. on the National Day of Prayer. This year there seemed more of an urgency to pray! Jonathan Cahn (Messianic Rabbi and author of The Harbinger) set the tone with a powerful commentary to start the day on Capitol Hill. 

    What is interesting is that while everything appears to be getting darker and darker in America, I left with great hope. Your people will find hope too, if you can get them praying for their nation. I highly recommend as prayer leaders that you get copies of "Inviting God into the Process," (our 16-page booklet prayer guide for the elections), Desperate for Change (a 40-day prayer guide to pray God's purposes over our nation), and our new release,With One Cry: A Renewed Challenge to Pray for America. All three will give you great insights and hope in praying for our nation and in helping others catch the passion to pray as well. Two of them (the booklet and 40-day guide) are also great resources to purchase for your entire congregation! Get everyone praying.

    386ecff5-b268-43a9-afc5-2b0fb59a27c4.jpgTo help you do this, we have put together a "Pray for America Pack" at a special price. The pack includes the three above-mentioned resources plus two theme-related issues ofPrayer Connect, "Can Prayer Save America?" and "There's Still Hope." You can purchase this pack for $19.99, which is 37% off the retail price of each item, when purchased separately!


    We want to encourage you to use the current discomfort and anxiety over the moral downward spiral of America and the uncertainty of the elections to rally prayer in your people! Our only hope is in God Himself!

    Praying for Revival in America

Ultimately, it is for the people of God to begin to experience the presence of Christ in a fresh new way. All other results flow from that. Changed lives in the Church as well as transformation in a culture come not from human effort, but the power of God made manifest in the lives of His people. Read more...
     

    Unique Prayer Needs of the Military
    By Rebecca Shirey

    During my husband's 26-year military career as an Army chaplain, I fell in love with the military lifestyle and people. I especially enjoyed the close-knit camaraderie of the on-post neighborhoods, worshiping as a community in base chapels, and the seeming ease of families to assimilate into yet another new assignment.

    Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven! We have all made this declaration thousands of times, and yet, there are so many insidious ways that the Enemy of our souls finds to take our hearts off of God's heavenly will for His kingdom on earth.

    Most believers realize that our nation is clearly in trouble. We have left our spiritual moorings to possibly catastrophic circumstances. 
     BUT many Christian leaders believe if we would in unity humble ourselves and pray, we would see revival in the church and another spiritual awakening in our land!
