Montgomery Prayer Network: It is Not About YOU!

It is Not About YOU!

"For everything, absolutely everything,above and below, visible and invisible...everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him".Colossians 1:16

This week, as we "end" Holy Week, look around you in Montgomery and where you are...ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to "be"Christ to those around you. Are you living out what He died for....LOVE?
Remember Rick Warren's opening line in the bestseller, "The Purpose Driven Life" IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU! It IS about Jesus. It IS about people coming to know HIM personally. Is it about you today OR is it about Jesus and telling others what HE has done in YOUR life?

History of Montgomery Prayer Network

EVERYONE who is a follower of Christ is invited to participate.

In the winter of 2008, a group of committed church leaders from the Montgomery Baptist churches got together as part of a strategic focus group. They started praying, talking and networking to see what the "future story" might be for Montgomery Baptist churches. Early on, members of this strategy team committed to 100 days of prayer and discernment, forming prayer triplets, listening and journaling to see what God wanted for Montgomery Baptist Association churches to do. Out of that prayer time, these leaders identified several things needed for our churches to be effective in bringing people to Christ.

They are:

1. Any significant change in Montgomery must begin with a change in believers' hearts.

2. Since God changes hearts, prayer must be a top priority for Christ-followers in Montgomery in order to see any transformation.

3. The local church is "ground zero" for Kingdom work.

With that in mind, a group of prayer leaders from local churches met in December of 2008 and began to brainstorm about ideas that would help local churches be more intentional about praying for Montgomery.

In this group, you will find several resources.

1. Prayer requests for Montgomery, specifically in 5 areas of need: Crime, Poverty, Schools, Racial Relations and Abused or Misused Affluence

2. Ideas to keep prayer needs before you and your congregation- There will be prayer guides specific to the Montgomery area available upon request.

3. Events that might take place in the greater Montgomery area that pertain to reaching people for Christ and praying for the city

"Seek the peace of the city..... and pray to the LORD for it; for in its peace you will have peace." Jeremiah 29:7 NKJV
