I just returned from a denominational convention. It was excellent! A great time of refreshing. Part of my responsibilities there was to give oversight to a prayer room. This room had times of intercessory worship, quiet rooms to pray in solitary, and people who would pray for those who desired prayer ministry. I even led a time of corporate prayer. |

Learning to Pray at the Feet of the Early Christians |
|
|
|
|
By Dave Butts New Testament Christians were praying Christians. The church was born at a prayer meeting on the day of Pentecost, and the disciples continued to pray as they went on their way proclaiming the good news of Jesus around the world. That really shouldn’t surprise us. The leaders of the church, the apostles, had gone to Jesus earlier and asked Him to teach them to pray. He did. Then He instructed them to teach others what He had taught them. From Jesus, to the apostles, to the first-century Christians, and down through the years to us, believers have taught and practiced prayer. |

Phil Miglioratti of the Church Prayer Leaders Network interviews David Mains, executive director of Mainstay Ministries, a non-denominational Christian outreach dedicated to serving pastors, churches, and individuals across North America
CPLN: David, you were commissioned to write the material for the Presidential Prayer Team's new series on prayer. What was it about your experience in prayer and your role in the prayer movement that prepared you for this task?
As you know, Phil, the Presidential Prayer Team has encouraged hundreds of thousands of people take to heart the scriptural injunction to pray for our nation's leaders. With this series their desire was to expand that number through raising up potential prayer warriors by helping those who struggle with prayer in general. I'm not sure why they came to me with this assignment, but I was honored to be asked and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge.
