Prayer / Intercession Ministry - Building a
House of Prayer Matthew 12:13 "My house shall be
called a house of prayer."
What is Prayer?
Prayer is communicating with God! But more than
just "talking
to God," prayer involves our friendship with Him, and
like with any friend, sometimes we talk, sometimes we listen,
and sometimes we just enjoy each other's company!
Why is Prayer Important?
- All Biblical ministry is based on prayer and fasting
which will bring a knowledge of God's will and the empowerment
to fulfill His purposes on the Earth.
- Sustained, fervent, unified prayer will increase a passion
to reach the harvest on the Peninsula by promoting the
unity and involvement of the Body of Christ on the congregational
and city level.
Building A House of Prayer
 Church A is
a church that hardly recognizes the importance of prayer
to its ministry. It gives lip service by opening meetings
in prayer and holding special prayer meetings from
time to time for important issues. There may even be a
few people praying for the church and its
ministries, but they are not specifically given requests
and are not recognized as a ministry of the church.
|
 Church B recognizes
that prayer is important. It wants to see things prayed
for and wants to provide die-hard intercessors with
a place to plug in. It recognizes prayer as a ministry
of the church, much like youth or music. People who
have an inner burden for prayer are involved, but not
many others.
|
 Church C believes
that nothing lasting will happen apart from prayer.
It believes that prayer needs to permeate every ministry
of the church. Every ministry must be prayed for, and
prayer must be a significant part of each ministry.
Virtually everyone in the church gets involved in prayer.

Core Values of Building the House of Prayer
- We believe that persistent prayer will bring the knowledge
of God's will and an empowerment to fulfill His will.
James 5:16 "...the effective, fervent prayer of a
righteous person avails much."
- We believe that prayer will change us individually, then
corporately as the Body of Christ; which will cause His
presence to affect those around us.
Statement of Purpose
- To provide prayer coverage for individuals, families,
the local church, nation(s), and our world.
- To provide prayer coverage for ministers and ministry
leaders of the local church and beyond.
- To provide training in the models/types of prayer so
that every one may find their ministry of prayer in order
to fulfill
the Great Commission.
What Prayer Opportunities are Offered at WOWC?
We are in the training/recruiting stage of developing prayer
teams to cover 24 hour periods of prayer for the Peninsula.
We are working in unity with other churches on the Peninsula
hosting all night 'Prayer Vigils' praying for those without
the knowledge of Christ, covering and protection our ministry
leadership, and unity to come to the Body of Christ. We are
developing our local 'Prayer Room' to inform intercessors
about the prayer concerns on a congregational, community,
city, state, national, and international level by posting
information and requests at 'Prayer Stations.' Here are the
many available opportunities to participate in prayer ministries
at World Outreach Worship Center.
