ePrayer Network

Dear Friends,

I am inviting you to participate in praying for KingsWay Church during an exciting time that we are in. KingsWay Church is Launching on September 20, 2009. I am asking for your prayer partnership in this bold task to create a relevant expression of faith community whose vision is to “Worship. Grow. Send.”

Prayer is amazing. In 1999, as I left for Indiana Wesleyan University, I received many encouraging notes from several people stating they were praying for me. One grand-mother type person, in particular, sent me a special note stating that in her daily time with God, she always lifted me up to God. I was so convinced that her prayers had such a powerful impact on me that one day, during a particularly bad day, I almost called her asking why she had forgotten to pray that day! I once confessed to a small group I was a part of that I could literally “feel” the prayers of God’s people on my behalf.

As I read the scriptures, I am reminded of the impact that prayer had over situations and people’s lives. Scan the scriptures and here’s what you'll find—many of the great movements of God were started when people decided to pray:

• Acts 1, just after Jesus had ascended into Heaven, many of his disciples gathered in an upstairs room for the purpose of prayer. A few days later, the Holy Spirit came, empowering the disciples for incredible, unbelievable ministry.
• Acts 12, Peter is thrown into prison so the church began “earnestly praying to God for him.” Moments later, an angel of the Lord appeared and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.
• Acts 16, Paul and Silas sat in prison, hurt and bleeding after a severe beating, yet they began praying and singing to God. Moments later, “the foundations of the prison were shaken, all the prison doors flew open and chains came loose.”

Pretty incredible, huh?

I’m convinced the prevailing and explosive nature of the church in the early 1st century was a result of devoted followers of Jesus praying fervently for God’s spirit to move!

I’m writing this letter because I covet your prayers for myself and the leadership of KingsWay Church as we move forward in faith to launch KingsWay in Maineville, Ohio. We realize that without believers standing along side of us praying and asking for God to move, we are missing the most crucial catalyst for success in making disciples.

Will you kneel and pray with us as we venture into the crucial stages of planning, preparing and gathering a launch team for a large launch in September of 2009? Would you join our prayer network, consisting of hundreds or even thousands of individuals, who are committed to pray for a biblically grounded, effective, prevailing KingsWay Church Launch in Maineville?

Joining and participating in The KingsWay ePrayer Network is pretty easy.

1. Complete the form at the bottom of this page to sign up. We need no more information than your email address.
2. Receive an email periodically from myself or the KingsWay Prayer Network leader communicating specific areas for prayer (The email will also include answers to prayer!).
3. Pray

As you consider entering into this prayer network, hear the words that Charles Spurgeon stated over a century ago: “Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the hand of God.” Or consider the words of Jesus in Luke 11: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Thanks for partnering with KingsWay as we pray for significant Kingdom impact, namely, leading people into becoming fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Adam Metzger, Pastor
