Prayer Chains have been used through out the Centuries. The main description of a "Prayer Chain" is a Spiritual Alarm System. A system in which communicates and takes prayerful action on the needs of the congregation, community and global needs. This network of people who are commited to prayer take action on behalf of the congregation on Jesus' words to "ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened" (Matthew 7:7).The importance of a prayer chain is that it faithfully intercedes on behalf of others in need by lifting up specific requests, concerns, and emergency situations.
One of the metaphors used in the New Testament is the Church as the body of Christ and the prayer ministry as the circulation system of the body and the one way to keep this system working is to keep the circulation flowing. In other words, Keeping the importance of prayer and keeping the prayer chain ALIVE! |
