Intercessory Prayer Ministry
Ministry Facilitator: Min. Anthony and Min. Doris Logan
The Lord is looking for men and women today that are willing

that would "stand in the gap" for others. Ezekiel 22:30-31 says,
Keys To Intercessory Prayer:
Some of these keys are presented here in hopes that if you have
a heart toward God and are willing to become an intercessor,
you will know how to obtain many victories. Intercessory prayer,
being a ministry to others, is not something that directly benefits
us. It is essentially an outreach ministry. Through it we can
truly lay down our lives for others. As we are faithful by sacrificing
our time on the behalf of others, the Lord then takes care of
our needs. As we minister to others, the Lord ministers to us.
While praying for others, we cannot neglect mentioning the added
blessing of being in fellowship with the Lord. As the Holy Spirit
directs us in the ways we are to pray for others, we need to
keep in mind that He will always have us pray according to His
Word.
Members of this ministry are expected to be at each service
thirty minutes early to pray and usher in the presence of the
Lord.
