Prayer is the language of absolute dependence on God for everything. It is absolutely foundational for church planting.
Without regular prayer, we might be tempted to think that we can do this all on our own, and as I’m fond of saying – we can certainly “do church” on our own – we can set up chairs, sing songs, invite our friends, even preach the word – but without God moving we are wasting our time. It is about God, not us. In the words of one of my seminary profs, “Prayer reminds us that God is the mover.” Yes, he sure is…
So, what are some things we are praying for now at HBC?
- Launch Team – pray for the current LT to be united in spirit and purpose, and for additional members to sign on. We are about half way to our goal.
- Finances – pray that additional finances come in. We are about 25% of the way to our goal.
- Evangelism – pray for opportunities to develop relationships that will lead to gospel conversations and real acts of kindness centered on Jesus.
- Compassion – pray for our hearts to be broken for the community and to love them as Jesus does.
Please pray with us! We are looking for Prayer Partners and they are just as important as any other team member, maybe more. If you’d like to join as a Prayer Partner, please click here to fill out a Commitment Card.
