Abstract

This project seeks to determine if implementing a prayer ministry will change the mindset of a congregation's ministry focus from inward to outward. The methods used for the study are literary and historical research,surveys and interviews. Chapter 1 of this study introduces the project. Chapter 2 provides a biblical foundation by examining specific prays of Abraham, Jonah and Nehemiah from the Old Testament, and the instructions on pray by Jesus and Paul in the New Testament;a further theological study in this chapter considers the impact such a ministry may have upon a church. Chapter 3 examines the visible needs for a prayer ministry, the obstacles to such a ministry, the kinds of prayer needed in such a ministry, the steps for starting such a ministry, and the historical role of such a ministry in American revivals. Chapter 4 gives the steps taken to implement this project, and chapter 5 gives an evaluation, conclusion and future recommendations concerning this project. Overall, this project shows that a prayer ministry may be a useful tool for changing the mindset of an inwardly focused congregation.
