Why Prayer?

 
God who is good and who uses all things for good has not been on lockdown. Through lockdown and daily walks God is calling us out of the church building and back to our homes, neighbours and communities. Now we believe he wants us to pray for them.



Prayer is powerful and changes things because we are inviting our all powerful God into the conversation. God is at work.  Let’s pray for eyes to see what he is doing and for hearts, hands and feet willing to join in. Let’s pray expecting God to move, opening doors to conversations, relationships and opportunities for Christians to share the love of Jesus with people in everyday ways; praying, caring and sharing people into the kingdom.

Prayer prepares the ground for mission and is also an evangelistic opportunity. We are delighted to support trypraying which uses prayer as an evangelism tool and which you can find in the partners menu of the OIKOS prayer app.

Try praying is an invitation to those who are not religious and who don’t go to church to try praying and take part in a seven day prayer adventure. trypraying.org is the website for people who are new to prayer and do.trypraying.org resources churches around the trypraying invitation. trypraying uses prayer as an evangelistic opportunity and can be done by individuals, churches or churches together. Find inspirational stories here of how trypraying has been a journey through which people have found Jesus.


Imagine if we could do this for more than our local area...imagine if we could cover the country...the world in prayer….



Hope For Every Home is part of the Joining Dots Prayer Network which maps prayer for towns and cities across the UK. JDPN would love to see every street in every town and city prayed for by the end of 2025. If you are involved in praying for a town/city/region and would like to know more email Sammy and download our leaflet for more information. Thank you!
