Nothing will change your church more than developing a vibrant, passion-filled corporate prayer meeting. This book will give you the encouragement, challenge, and principles needed to take you there. The New Testament church was birthed in prayer. It was sustained by prayer. The importance of the church praying together is evident throughout Acts. But today, in many churches, corporate prayer isn�t even thought about, let alone practiced. If we want to see a fresh outpouring of God�s Spirit in our churches, it�s time to bring the corporate prayer meeting back into vogue, but not like it was years ago! We need something new and powerful. This book presents a fresh model for praying together that has produced significant results in churches across the country. Put it into practice, and your church can also experience the transforming power of Jesus Christ as you seek Him through united, worship-based prayer.
