Challenges for Prayer
Unity of believers is essential to growth and revival. Locally, Councils of Pastors meet for prayer in key cities, and, slowly, trust is being built and cooperative ministry enhanced. On a national level, the National Evangelical Alliance (ACIERA) draws together leaders from across the evangelical spectrum. Pray that leaders may hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church today and act together in faith.Church leadership remains a critical bottleneck in further growth. Leaders who train, disciple and release other leaders into ministry and who minister in the Word and the Spirit are always needed. Pray for those involved in training through seminaries, Bible schools and TEE; there are literally hundreds across the country. Pray also for students who are hindered by lack of finance, facilities or time.
