Are you called to Redeemer's Prayer Team?
A Ministry of Intercession

Identifying those with a ministry of prayer: See the description below. If you fit the description, please consider joining our prayer team. Some who fit the description will be people who are already on the front line leading ministries, Bible studies, etc. These people need to be prayed for, not be enlisted into yet one more thing. We are looking for the people who may be hidden, who enjoy behind-the-scenes ministry, who want to partner with those on the front line but don't know how to - or no one has ever asked. We want to equip and encourage them. Intercessor types know others like them. They will draw in more. We don't need to orchestrate how they are to pray - the Spirit will do that - we will just let them know who specifically to pray for and the vision God has given Redeemer. We will pair intercessors with the pastoral staff, ministry departments, church planters, special needs...not for a relationship (or contact even) but for committed, intentional daily prayer for those on the firing line.

Earmarks of one called to a ministry of intercession may include:

  • Love to pray...praying for extended periods of time is a joy and delight.
  • Content to be in ministry behind-the-scenes.
  • Desire to grow in praying and to learn more about prayer.
  • Expect God to hear his/her prayer and to answer according to His wisdom.
  • See answers to prayer daily, or at least regularly.
  • Receive regular insight and scripture that informs their praying.
  • Keep tenaciously a personal confidence of another.
  • Place pastors and/or ministries as a high priority in their total prayer life.
  • Sought after by others for prayer or have received a gifting in prayer.
  • Enjoy intimacy with the Lord in their daily walk with Him.
  • Has often a compassion/mercy gifting.
  • Feel comfortable praying alone, with others, in different environments, at various times of the day.
