Church Planters Invade the Impossible!



It's so very important to take time to develop your prayer team. If your church is a new plant or a historic ministry in your community it needs the power of prayer to carry Gods work forward.

Prayer is as one of Pastor Jack Hayford books called it is for  Invading the Impossible! Church planting guru Tom Nebel says spiritual warfare is the most underestimated and neglected part of starting a new church.

So start (or restart) right away gathering and discipling your prayer team. You want them to be hammering the beachhead with heavy artillery prayer long before your landing team arrives!

Recently Judy and I prayer walked our neighborhood. We could really sense that God was moving as we asked God to reach into the hearts of people in the homes and free them from sin. We asked for open doors to share Gods love and truth.

We posted this on FB and in about an hour our neighbor next door said, "We love the prayers over here!" I had no idea she was following our FB!  I hope she reads this today because she made our day by encouraging us!

And guess what? Yesterday as we were out in the neighborhood we were invited into a new home to make friends. Prayer matters. Prayer changes things. Prayer is invading the impossible.

Someone reading this today needs to know not to give up on their church but to persevere in prayer and then get BUSY sharing Gods love!
