Prayer Station
"The ministry of the Prayer Station is based on the fact that we are providing an opportunity to pray for people who have a variety of needs and believeing that God will hear our prayer and act on behalf of those for whom we pray. Our prayer of faith then becomes a starting point for us to share our faith." YWAM New Yorkthe prayer station ministry began in new york and has spread worldwide. mike and craig, from our base here in vancouver, have started one in our local community and they go out twice a week at the moment. i have been out with them a few times now and it definately takes me out of my comfort zone. it is an absolutely incredible ministry though and i am excited to see what else God does through it!
the picture to the right is jessi, jamie and i today before going out!!!
i am always pretty nervous about it before hand because you never quite know what response you are going to get when you ask someone if you can pray for them. i have to keep reminding myself why i am doing what i am and who i am doing it for. i am learning so much about myself and most of all who God is and seeing people how he sees them. it brings a whole new dimension to interacting with people. i love it!
God has really provided some incredible opportunities for us to share the Gospel through this. it is not always easy to go out there, especially when it is freezing and raining/snowing like yesterday, but consistency is the key! i have a bunch of cool stories from it which i wont go into now but if you want to hear more about it please talk to me!!!
