Need Help With Prayer?

Prayer prepares the ground for the seed of the Gospel and maintains dependence on God. “Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.” Isaiah 65:24

In an effort to fulfill our vision and live our core values, the Prayer and Evangelism Team seeks to lead Colorado Baptists to maintain an absolute dependency on God through prayer, provide intercessory prayer support, training, and resources so that we will penetrate lostness under the guidance and empowerment of the Holy Spirit, the certainty of God’s will, leading and presence, and the humility of needing Him in all we do.

The Team offers conferencing, consulting, and workshops on developing a stronger prayer ministry within your ministry setting. Some common workshops include: Read more

Praying with the Military, an Unreached People Group

ShareThis

Think of the military as an unreached people group, with all the distinctive characteristics of a tribe … their own customs & traditions, dialect, “native dress”, type of work, and expectations.   It’s easy to be misunderstood, to be isolated from the civilian community around them.  (Remember that their families are also part of the military community, and try to imagine what it’s like for the Reserves and National Guard, part-time military who live in both worlds in between deployments.) 

While most of Colorado lives a fairly normal life, for many military these days there is no “normal”.  If they’re not deployed, they’re recovering and trying to re-integrate with family after a deployment or preparing for the next one.  Think of the stress!  Read more

Emmanuel Baptist in Meeker has seen God say "Way” over and over in the construction of our parsonage.   Read more

Creating a Prayer Experience

ShareThis

Prayer is a personal connection to God. Think of all the ways we can talk to God through prayer: standing, kneeling, walking, pacing, sitting, eyes closed, eyes opened, hands folded or hands stretched to the sky. There is no wrong way as long as you are whole-hearted seeking to worship, speak and listen to the Lord.

A unique way to create a prayer experience is setting up stations for people to visit. Each station can be designed with a simple direction and the tools needed. Here’s a few simple tips: Read more
