How Can We Pray For You

I am happy to announce a new way Spring Creek Baptist Church is taking our role to pray more seriously. We are in the process of having thousands of prayer cards printed. The front side will simply ask the question, "How can we pray for you?" The back side will give them our web address where on the home page they will see the how can we pray for you link. They fill out a simple form with their prayer request. They can fill the form out anonymously or include their contact information.

I get the emails of those prayer requests which we will take seriously. I will pray and lead our church to pray over these needs. Our hope is that through the compassionate act of prayer, we might really minister, make connection with people, believe God to help them and hopefully watch miracles unfold.

This is the way it will work. You will get the cards and keep them on you. Wherever you go out to eat, check out at a store, or random other places you simply ask the question, "How can we pray for you?" You hand people the card. Of course if they give them something to pray about, by all means keep your word and pray. If they tell you something in person, you can write it down on the prayer request cards in the prayer room.

If they choose to go to the website and fill out the prayer request form, I immediately get an email with the request on it. If they include their contact information, I will contact them. If not, we will still pray for these needs. This was not my idea. It came from one of God's faithful devoted followers in the flock. It is one more way we are trying to take ministry outside the walls of Spring Creek into the community. It is also another way we are trying to honor Jesus' declaration that His house would be a house of prayer.

It is just one more step forward in our ever growing prayer ministry. Each week on Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. the sanctuary is open for Community Prayer Room (C.P.R.) for a come and go time of prayer at your convenience. Once a month we hold Power Band prayer meetings in someone's home on Sunday evenings. Now we are preparing to launch our How Can We Pray For You campaign.

The exciting thing about this ministry is that it could literally reach around the world to anyone who has access to the internet. It can be used for church members, community residents and people on the other side of the world. My pledge is that the prayer requests entrusted to us will be prayed for individually by me or those in our prayer ministry. This is a sacred trust we take seriously.

All you have to do  is log on at www.myspringcreek.org. In the right hand corner on the home page you will find the link to the prayer request form. Click on that link, and put in your request. Then, click submit. We at Spring Creek count it a privilege to stand in the gap for you. May God answer those prayers and move many mountains. May He be glorified.
