Africa Network of Prayer - September 2011


What are YOU - what is YOUR CHURCH - doing to train this generation to pray?

"Jesus told us that children are of the essence of the kingdom of heaven. Children can exercise great faith, and children can become effective intercessors. Let's introduce our children to Apostolic prayer while they are young, so that when they reach the teenage years and adulthood they will be established in faith and equipped for victory in spiritual warfare."
- David K. Bernard - General Superintendent, UPCI

The generation that is following in our footsteps has more potential than any generation to date. But to meet their full potential, they need more than a routine prayer before bed or an occasional time in the altar service at church or during a Sunday school crusade. This generation needs an influx of people leading and training them on a daily basis how to travail, intercede and find their own relationship with God. It is time you and I stand up and go the extra mile to train, mentor and truly LEAD our children in prayer. By doing so, we will change the world!
