One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism...
One Prayer
What would you pray if God would answer One Prayer for the Church at large?
On this website, you will be able to unite with other believers from all over the world. Together, we will fast, pray, give, and serve. We will be the Church that God has called us to be. We will stand together like never before.
LifeChurch.tv is partnering with hundreds of churches globally to do a series simultaneously called One Prayer. The series will begin on the weekend of June 7-8 and run for a total of four weeks. The premise of the series is, "If God would answer 'one prayer' for the church at large, what would you pray?"
By the end of June 2008, four weeks of varied sermons on one prayer will have unified half a million Christians, around the globe, in thought and action. And now for the action: week three, each participating church takes a special offering. The combined money goes to four international organizations that work locally to build 500 new churches where building churches is particularly tough: Sudan, India, China, and Cambodia.
On week four, clusters of local churches will work together in community projects. The idea can go on a long time but the bulk of the idea will surge through four weekends in June.
Senior Pastor Craig Groeschel summarizes a lot of the pastors' thinking: "Think about Christ's Church. By that I mean every living believer. Think about the resources God makes available to us. Consider the money we control... the talent, gifts, and passions of perhaps 2 billion people. Now consider the needs around the world.
"Jesus promised that when two or more gather in his name, he would be there. He also explained that the sign of our unity in Christ is our love for one another. Now a thousand-plus churches and hundreds of thousands of Christians will gather in His name to make a difference."
The local church is the hope of the world, and when we unite, the Church can be unstoppable.
