prayer

"...The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." ~James 5:16b

Prayer is necessary for the Christian to sustain a Godly life, and to continue to confirm to the image of Christ.

Join us, as we come together as the body of Christ in worship to our Lord and Savior Jesus, and humbly bring our prayers, petitions, and praises to the Throne of God.

"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." ~Hebrews 4:14

Prayer is powerful, not because of the one who prayers, but because of The One who hears the prayers.
"Remember those in prision, as if you were their fellow prisioners; and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."

CHRISTIANS INPRISIONED FOR THEIR FAITH

In more than 40 nations around the world today Christians are being persecuted for their faith. In some of these nations it is illegal to own a Bible, to share your faith in Christ, change your faith or teach your children about Jesus. Those who boldly follow Christ - in spite of government edict or radical opposition - can face harassment, arrest, torture and even death. Yet Christians continue to meet for worship and to witness for Christ, and the church in restricted nations is growing.

PRISON OUTREACH MINISTRY: BE AN ADVOCATE: Pray for and write to our brothers and sisters in Christed imprisioned around the world

By becoming an "advocate " you are entering into the vital and important ministry of intercession and solidarity with those who suffer for their faith in Christ. As an advocate for our brothers and sisters in chains you will be encouraging them when you write to them in prison and supporting them when you write to officials on their behalf.

Your involvement testifies of the love and unity found among followers of Jesus Christ throughout the world. It is a witness to both your imprisoned family and to the authorities you write to or who may censor letters intended for the prisoner.

Your involvement is evidence to our persecuted family that they are not forgotten. Often the oppressors try to brainwash these Christians into believing that they are forgotten, that they are not loved and that no one knows about them. Through this isolation and loneliness the devil can prey upon their faith. When a prisoner learns others are protesting on their behalf or when they receive your letter, they know that someone cares.

Your involvement can result in better treatment for a prisoner. The authorities in many nations are very sensitive about their image abroad. When they realize that outsiders are monitoring a prisoner's situation, conditions may be improved.
