The Power Source
for Your Men's Group
Praying for Your Men's
Ministry
P rayer is the source of vision,
purpose, and power for mobilizing men in your church for
ministry. Effective prayer needs to be an intentional,
concentrated effort. If necessary, start as a team of one,
praying regularly and passionately for the spiritual development
of men in your church and community. Invite others to join you.
When you pray, ask God specifically...
- To strengthen your pastor's support and
skills for reaching out to men
- To give potential leaders for your men's
ministry a desire to serve
- To create an atmosphere of warmth,
enthusiasm, and expectation toward and in the men's ministry
- To make men in the church and community
responsive to invitations to become involved in your group
- Inspire reachable goals and effective plans
for group activities
- To reveal resources and materials that will
best meet needs of men in your group
- To increase the openness and trust of men
toward one another within the group
- To confirm His blessing of your men's
ministry with success in winning new converts
- To use the group to deepen the spiritual
vitality of men who are already disciples
- To enable your church to accept and include
newcomers won through the men's ministry
