PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH

Lord, I lift up my deacons to You. May they walk worthy of respect with sincere hearts. Keep them from indulgence and greed. Help them keep hold of truth. May they keep short accounts with You so that their conscience is clear. Bless their households with peace and respect. Fill them with Your Spirit and let them operate in wisdom as they carry out their responsibilities. (1 Tim. 3:8-9, 12; Acts 6:3)

Empowered is about equipping pastors and prayer leaders with the tools to do their ministries well. In this section you will find “how tos,” inspiring stories of churches who expanded their level of prayer in an area, and valuable resources to help you make prayer more foundational to every aspect of your church.

We hope Empowered is a blessing to you!

Note: The first five issues—the original NALCPL journal--are included as pdf files. Any phone numbers, email addresses, and web addresses associated with NALCPL are no longer valid. Also, many of the resources advertised in these issues are either no longer available (such as the NALCPL Starter Kit) or are now higher priced. Finally, you will notice that some issues of Empowered are missing—that there is a time gap between the early issues and the rest. This is for two reasons:

  1. The original journal ceased publication about a year before NALCPL went to Pray!
  2. From September 2003 (the first time it appeared in Pray!) through July 2005, Empowered articles were under different contracts that did not include rights for us to post on our website.
