2,000 Cumulative Minutes
It’s when the people hear it, get it and act on it! In my 20 years of ministry, that’s what I believe to be the most satisfying thing to a pastor. This very thing is what’s happening in the life of IMPACT CHURCH
Back in November, I began the Praying with Pastor phone conference morning prayer meetings, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 am – 8:00 am. We started with a hand-full of people and now we are averaging 30+ callers joining us for prayer – on the phone – every weekday – for almost three months!
The phone conference service sends out an email after every call stating who and how many people logged on to the call, along with the cumulative minutes of all the people who were engaged in the call.
Right now we are averaging about 1,100 cumulative minutes per phone call. For not everyone can pray a complete hour, they come in when they can and disconnect when they have to. But I must admit, it’s quite encouraging to know that 1,100 minutes are being used in the beginning of the day for us to touch heaven, declare and decree the Word of the Lord in prayer and in intercession!
My immediate goal is 2,000 minutes! It has begun already, for in the last two days we’ve surpassed over 1,200 minutes, per call already. People are catching it! A culture of prayer is being established and God’s is doing some great things in our church!
Blog entry #18 – Building and Culture of Prayer
I am very happy to see that the poeple are catching it because with prayer everything is possible. we just need to keep it going strong and you will see God move in your life.
I am so very excited about Impact church having this prayer line.
For I know with prayer comes miracles. A thought just came to my
mind. We need to inform the people who were called and invited to
our Impact Initiative service a few weeks ago. This could be a way
to reach more people.
We will continue to be amazed when every one of us takes part, and does our part, at the things God will accomplish through us and in us. Can’t wait to hit 2000!
Yes we are connecting to the vision of our church. And with vision we will reach our goals. This is great we are catching the vision as a church. We will reach 2000 minutes!!
That’s awesome Pastor. Being on the line is a big encouragement to the start of my day.
Praying in the morning with each and every person not only do I know that God is listening to us but it has help me to stay focus. Impact Church is a culture of prayer, we are catching it.
It is great to see how the people of God gather early in the morning to seek God’s face as one body everyday like this. God is doing a lot of great things and this just only the beginning. We will hit the 2000 minute point in no time!
I think it is a great to have a culture prayer every morning because people are coming on and getting prayer to start the day off good.
